IF Statement In View - Not Appearing

Okay, I'm trying to verify a subscription from a database (which appears to work fine, as I've used this model elsewhere). However, I'm trying to take the returned $data and use it as an IF Statement in my view...but the DIV I'm trying to "if" is not showing up. Nor do any errors appear. If I remove the IF around the DIV in the view, the content will appear...what am I doing wrong?

Here's the code in my controller:

// Check subscription and display appropriate content if "freebie" package 
$subscribe_result = $this -> subscribe_model -> upgrade_message($this->session->userdata('user_id')); // session sends user id to model
$data['subscription'] = $subscribe_result;

Model:

// Checks to see what package user has subscribed to
public function upgrade_message($id) //$id is session id pulled from controller
{
    $this -> db -> select('subscription'); // select the subscription column
    $this -> db -> where('id', $id); //find id in table that matches session id
    $query = $this -> db -> get("subscriptions"); // connect to this database

    return $query->result_array(); //returns the result of the above
}

and finally, my IF statement in the view I'm trying to output:

<? if($subscription == 'Freebie') : ?>
    <div>some "freebie" content</div>
<? endif ?>

You can use

if($subscription[0]['subscription'] == 'Freebie')

instead of

if($subscription == 'Freebie')
