MIAMI (MandyNews.com) – Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was hospitalized after being attacked by a group of men at a Florida gym on Tuesday evening.
Lance Lazzaro, the musician’s lawyer, says that several people attacked the 26-year-old while he was in the sauna of an LA Fitness gym. Hernandez tried to defend himself, but the attackers were too strong for him, and he was “beaten to a pulp” before they ran away.
At the time of the incident, Tekashi 6ix9ine was not accompanied by security personnel. Emergency services, including police and ambulance crews, were dispatched to the gym after the facility’s manager heard the disturbance.
MandyNews.com got a picture of Hernandez from Twitter that showed his face was swollen and he had a cut near his cheek. People who are close to the rapper said that he also got hurt in the attack in his jaw, ribs, and back.
Lazzaro said that his client plans to call the federal government after the attack to ask for more security measures. Two men hit and kicked the rapper over and over as he lay on the gym floor, as seen in a video that has since gone viral on social media.
Another video clip captured Tekashi 6ix9ine, bloodied and bruised, as he exited the sauna and returned to the gym’s main area. The motives behind the attack remain unclear, and it is unknown whether they were connected to the rapper’s previous legal troubles.
After being found guilty of racketeering in 2019, Hernandez was given an early release from federal prison in 2020. He faced multiple charges, including racketeering, attempted murder, possession of a firearm, and assault with a dangerous weapon. These charges stemmed from his affiliation with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang.
Hernandez could have spent at least 47 years in prison and the rest of his life behind bars. Instead, he took a deal and agreed to testify against several gang members, which led to his early release.
Tekashi 6ix9ine has been trying to rebuild his music career and public image since he got out of jail. But the recent attack has made people worry about his safety and the possibility that he still faces threats because he used to be in a gang.
The federal government has not said anything about the incident or the rapper’s request for more security. In the meantime, the police have started looking into the attack, but no one has been arrested yet.
People who were in the gym at the time of the attack could be asked to come forward with any information that could help police find the attackers and figure out why they did what they did.
As Tekashi 6ix9ine recovers from his injuries, his fans and other people in the music world have sent him well-wishes and messages of concern on social media. It’s still not clear how this will affect the rapper’s career and how safe he will be in the future.
The rapper’s lawyers are keeping a close eye on the situation and working with the police to make sure Tekashi 6ix9ine stays safe in the future.
More news about the investigation and the rapper’s health is likely to come out in the next few days.
