Rainbow-haired rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was brutally beaten by a gaggle of men inside the toilet of a Florida gym Tuesday, in response to footage of the attack posted online by OnlyInDade.
The 26-year-old musician and ex-con was rushed to the hospital after he was purportedly attacked contained in the restroom of a LA Fitness in southern Florida.
A video posted to Twitter shows two men towering over 6ix9ine as he withers on the toilet floor, attempting to protect his head from the blows.
The boys yell at him to “shut the f–k up” as one kicks his stomach and the opposite punches his head, in response to the footage.
The “Gooba” rapper, whose legal name is Daniel Hernandez, walks out of the restroom with a bloodied face after the cameraman tells him he’s a fan.
6ix9ine’s attorney told TMZ that the Brooklyn-native was contained in the sauna when he was randomly jumped by several men.
He didn’t have security with him on the time.
Police and EMS were called and the rapper was taken to a hospital in an ambulance.
A photograph obtained by the outlet shows the rapper’s face red and bloodied.
He also suffered injuries to his jaw, ribs and back, in response to the location.
The attack is the second time 6ix9ine made headlines in lower than per week.
PageSix reported that he was thrown out of a Miami baseball stadium Friday after causing a drunken ruckus and disturbing other fans.
The rapper has a notorious history.
He was sentenced to 2 years in prison in 2019 for his role within the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang.
He was facing a long time in prison on racketeering and other charges but took a plea deal that lowered his time in exchange for helping the feds take down his former Bloods associates.
The assistant US attorney said on the time that 6ix9ine “will eternally need to look over his shoulder.”
It’s unclear if Tuesday’s attack had anything to do with the rapper’s cooperation with feds, but his lawyer told TMZ that he plans to call the feds to make sure he gets proper protection.
