The rapper was injured after the gym sauna beating.
A disturbing video that purports to show the American rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine being beaten up inside a Florida gym and then emerging from the facility covered in blood has surfaced.
Tekashi 6ix9ine, a rapper with rainbow-colored hair, was savagely attacked by a gang of men in the restroom of a Florida gym on Tuesday, according to footage of the assault released online by OnlyInDade. As shown in the video from the fitness center, the individuals suspected of brutally assaulting Tekashi 6ix9ine appeared to have had a strategy to get to the rapper.
In the footage that TMZ obtained, it can be seen that one man has already entered the South Florida LA Fitness location and is talking on his cell phone. The man walks up to the main entrance of the fitness center to let another man in. After a short conversation with the front desk employee, he and the other man make a beeline towards the washroom and sauna part of the fitness center, where a third man joins them.
However, it is still being determined whether or not they were aware that Tekashi would be at the gym at any point in time or whether or not one of the men noticed 6ix9ine and summoned the other man for assistance.
The two men can be heard shouting at him to “shut the f**k up” before one of them kicks his stomach and the other strikes him in the head. The Gooba rapper exits the restroom with a bleeding face when the cameraman informs him that he is a fan. At the moment, he had no security with him. Tekashi was transported to the hospital with injuries to his face, back, ribs, and jaw. According to sources close to Tekashi, he still receives medical care in the hospital.
According to sources, he had frequented this gym without incident in the past. He generally spends 20 minutes on the StairMaster, minding his own business. In addition, if Tekashi is ever approached or identified, the majority of interactions are calm… and he’s typically willing to pose with fans. Obviously, he has adversaries in the world, doubtless lingering from the infamous RICO case.
It is now unknown whether or not the rapper’s cooperation with law enforcement had anything to do with the attack on Tuesday. But, according to the publication, his attorney has stated that he intends to contact the authorities to ensure adequate protection.
Despite his history, we have been told that the general opinion on this issue is that Tekashi did not deserve this and did not commit any wrongdoing.
