After allegedly getting “beaten by a group of men inside a South Florida gym,” 6ix9ine was taken to the hospital on Tuesday, according to TMZ.
According to 6ix9ine’s lawyer Lance Lazzaro, he was attacked without warning while in a LA Fitness sauna without personal security.
Tekashi was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital. According to TMZ, which saw a picture of him, he has rib, back, and jaw injuries.
A Twitter user posted a video of the 26-year-old with a bloody face heading for the exit while wearing socks and yelling, “Y’all n***as jumped me.” Additional social media images briefly depict the assault in process, as well as one of the men’s faces.
6ix9ine was reportedly banned from an upscale residential building in the Miami area last December, according to news reports. According to TMZ, the rapper received a letter from the legal department of SLS Lux Property saying that his security guard had left an assault rifle unsecured on the premises. Additionally, it identified “the bounty placed on 6ix9ine’s life” and his “provocative antics” as additional factors that could make his presence there dangerous for other people.
