Tekashi 6ix9ine brutally beaten in Florida gym bathroom

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was ambushed and brutally beaten by a group of men while he was in a Florida gym, according to footage shared on Twitter.

The video shows a group of men standing over the rainbow-haired performer and punching him as he cowers on the floor of the LA Fitness restroom.

The men yell at Tekashi to “shut the f–k up” as they continue to assault him.

His attorney, Lance Lazzaro, told TMZ that the “Gooba” rapper had been using the facility’s sauna when he was jumped.

Lazzaro also said Tekashi, born Daniel Hernandez, did not have security with him at the time of the attack.

LA Fitness employees called police and emergency services, who transported the convicted felon to a nearby hospital to treat injuries to his jaw, ribs and back as well as cuts and bruises.

Lazzaro told the outlet he plans to call the Feds to get his client the security he needs, as Tekashi was granted early release from prison in 2020 for narcing on his fellow gang members who are now behind bars.

This is only the latest trouble for the 26-year-old rapper, who Page Six exclusively reported was thrown out of a Miami restaurant in January for giving patrons free alcohol. More recently, he was kicked out of a baseball stadium for getting too drunk.

Tekashi infamously pleaded guilty to racketeering and other charges in 2019. He had faced decades behind bars before agreeing to cooperate with the government and testify against members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.

Tekashi revealed during his testimony that he turned into a snitch the day after he was arrested in 2018.

The “Gotti” performer claimed he had used the violent crew for “street credibility” while testifying against his alleged former associates Anthony “Harv” Ellison and Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack.

His headline-making testimony came as rapper Snoop Dogg taunted the artist on Instagram with emojis of rats for snitching on his former associates.

It’s unclear whether the gym attack is related to his snitching.
