Tekashi 6ix9ine Beaten at South Florida Gym
On Tuesday, rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was reportedly attacked at a South Florida LA Fitness steam room.
According to CBS Miami, video footage of the incident has been circulating on social media.
The video shows the rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, being beaten and kicked by at least two men.
Hernandez’s attorney, Lance Lazzaro, confirmed to TMZ that the rapper suffered facial cuts as a result of the attack.
The attack is just the latest in a series of incidents involving the rapper, who rose to fame as a social media phenomenon with millions of followers on Instagram.
6ix9ine has had several hit songs in the hip-hop genre, including “Fefe,” which featured Nicki Minaj and peaked at No. 3 on the pop charts, and “Stoopid,” featuring incarcerated rapper Bobby Shmurda.
Despite his success, 6ix9ine has been no stranger to controversy.
He was released early from federal prison after cooperating with law enforcement officials in an effort to prosecute fellow gang members.
In the recent attack, Lazzaro revealed that 6ix9ine tried to fight back but was outnumbered and overpowered.
The rapper was not accompanied by personal security at the time of the incident.
While the details surrounding the attack are still emerging, it’s clear that the incident is a cause for concern.
Fans and industry professionals alike are expressing their support for 6ix9ine, and many are calling for increased security measures to protect artists from similar incidents in the future.
