Tekashi 6ix9ine attackers make beeline for him in shocking security video
Shocking new surveillance footage appears to show Tekashi 6ix9ine’s alleged attackers heading straight to the scene of the crime before his beatdown.
The security video, obtained by TMZ Thursday, shows the moments before the rapper was attacked in a South Florida LA Fitness two days prior.
In the footage, a man paces in front of the gym’s front desk while speaking with someone on his cell phone.
The individual is subsequently seen tapping on one of the windows in an apparent signal to another person.
After a second man appears, the two men seemingly exchange a few words and flash a smile at the front desk worker before making a beeline for the bathroom.
The duo, who are bald and of medium stature with beards, are respectively wearing a black hoodie and black T-shirt.
After the attack took place, the alleged assailants were again caught on camera in separate surveillance footage, also released Thursday.
In the clip, the two men are seen leaving the restroom with a third individual, also dressed in an all-black outfit but with a gold chain around his neck.
The trio appear to be the same individuals seen in footage of the assault circulating on social media, in which Tekashi, 26, is beaten up near the gym’s bathroom sinks and trash can.

In the clip, the “Gooba” rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, walks out of the restroom with a bloodied face and says, “Y’all n–s jumped me.”
Tekashi’s attorney, Lance Lazzaro, told TMZ that his client did not have security with him at the time.
The lawyer did not immediately return Page Six’s request for further comment.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office released a Facebook post about the incident on Wednesday, confirming that Tekashi was “injured” during an altercation between “several individuals.”
Officials clarified that the “Mala” rapper’s wounds were “non-life threatening.”
However, Tekashi was reportedly taken to a nearby hospital to treat injuries to his jaw, ribs and back.
Officials are conducting an active investigation and requested the public’s help for more information. It is unclear whether any arrests have been made.
Per TMZ, Lazzaro is looking to speak to the feds in order to get Tekashi more protection from potential future events.
The “Trollz” rapper pleaded guilty to racketeering and other charges in 2019, facing decades behind bars before he agreed to cooperate with the government and testify against members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
He was labeled a “snitch” for admitting in testimony that he ratted out his former associates. It is unknown whether the latest attack is related to his cooperation.
