The controversial MC’s attorney Lance Lazzaro told the outlet that 6ix9ine was in an LA Fitness sauna without personal security when he was assaulted without warning.
Tekashi was taken to a local hospital by ambulance. TMZ—which received a photo of him—says he has injuries to his jaw, back, and ribs.
Lazzaro intends to get in touch with the feds to ensure 6ix9ine is being adequately protected.
One Twitter user shared a clip from just after the attack, showing the 26-year-old with a bloody face, walking toward the exit in socks and saying, “y’all n***as jumped me.” Other social media posts briefly show the attack in progress, including the face of one of the men.
Last December, word arrived that 6ix9ine was banned from a high-end apartment complex in the Miami region. TMZ reported that SLS Lux Property’s legal team sent the rapper a letter claiming his security guard left an assault weapon unattended on the property. It also pinpointed “the bounty placed on 6ix9ine’s life” and his “provocative antics” as reasons why his presence there could be unsafe for others.
A few months prior, he was allegedly jumped at a Dubai nightclub, with a DJ calling him out as a snitch. Tekashi told people to “get the news right” and claimed the DJ “got smoked.”
The rapper’s attorney Lance Lazzaro told TMZ that he plans to contact the authorities to ensure that the rapper receives proper protection. It was also unknown if the attack was linked to the rapper’s grant for early release from federal prison back in 2019 after it was reported that he cooperated with authorities to put several of his gang members behind bars.
6ix9ine released two studio albums throughout his music career and has been featured in other videos from other artists. USA Today reported that the rapper once accused Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande of “cheating” their way into the Billboard Hot 100. He alleges that the two pop artists paid Billboard for the number-one spot after they released their single “Stuck With You.” Meanwhile, the rapper’s song “Gooba” entered at number 3.
This isn’t the first time that 6ix9ine’s life has been at risk. In 2018, the rapper was kidnapped by three armed people in Brooklyn after he finished shooting a music video. The rapper took $750,000 worth of custom jewelry and $35,000 worth of cash. The rapper managed to escape and was taken to the hospital thanks to the help of a stranger. It was also reported that the rapper has been involved in other feuds since his early prison release.
6ix9ine suffered injuries to his jaw, ribs, and back and has received multiple wounds and gashes around his face. He’s currently still recovering and it’s unknown when he will be discharged.
