<p><strong>Tekashi 6ix9ine</strong> was taken to a hospital by ambulance after a group of men <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/nyc-man-attacked-by-armed-neighbors-in-broad-daylight-allegedly-over-parking-spot-dispute/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attacked him</a> in South Florida. A viral video shows two men physically assaulting the rapper inside an LA Fitness bathroom on Tuesday (March 21).</p>
<p>Following the beating, an injured 6ix9ine walked out of the bathroom, repeatedly claiming he was &#8220;jumped.&#8221; <em>TMZ </em>broke the story. His lawyer, Lance Lazzaro,<a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/03/21/tekashi-6ix9ine-attack-florida-gym-sauna-ambush-hospitalized/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> told the outlet</a> the attack was unexpected, adding that the men ran down on Tekashi while he was using the sauna. 6ix9ine did not have security with him at the time.</p>

<p><amp-instagram data-shortcode="ClAN3J5OlGg" layout="responsive" width="600" height="600" data-captioned></amp-instagram></p>
<p>Lance claims 6ix9ine attempted to defend himself but said, &#8220;there were too many [combatants],&#8221; per <em>TMZ. </em>However, in the viral 30-second clip, only two men are seen putting their hands and feet on 6ix9ine. The video begins with a bald man dressed in a short sleeve shirt pressing the rapper into the ground with one hand. Lying near the sink, Tekashi is seen covering his face as the man yells at him.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Yo what the f**k, f**k n***a, that&#8217;s how they suppose to treat yo b***h a**,&#8221; the unidentified man said while delivering a stomp to Tekashi&#8217;s side. &#8220;Old Mickey Mouse clown a** n***a.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Another man, also bald but wearing a long-sleeved shirt, walks around the first bald man and a squirming Tekashi on the ground. He appears to tell <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/tekashi-6ix9ine-shares-receipts-alleging-perkio-was-aware-of-the-video-they-shot-together/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the rapper</a>, &#8220;do something, do something.&#8221; Another man, presumably the person recording, added, &#8220;go ahead, go ahead.&#8221;</p>
<p>Again, the bald man (with short sleeves) grabs 6ix9ine by his loose hair OR the back of his clothing&#8211;that part is unclear. But he sits Tekashi up as the long-sleeved bald man, who was circling them, delivers a kick to Tekashi&#8217;s chest or face area.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the first bald man tells the person recording to &#8220;take a picture&#8221; because he &#8220;wants to be famous now.&#8221;</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s another angle of the beatdown. It&#8217;s unclear how long the men were hitting the rapper.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Viral Video Seemingly Indicates 6ix9ine Attack Was Related To His Federal Cooperation</h3>
<p>Text on the viral video seemed to suggest that the beatdown was related to the conditions of Tekashi&#8217;s <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/tekashi-6ix9ine-snoop-dogg-viciously-drag-each-other-over-snitch-claims/?_gl=1*1i9nqwk*_up*MQ..*_ga*OTkzMjQ4MzA4LjE2Nzk0ODQ2NTU.*_ga_V2HX8YP3XL*MTY3OTQ4NDY1NC4xLjEuMTY3OTQ4NDY3NC4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">early release</a> from federal prison.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;King Sh*t, we caught 6is9ine slipping f**k a rat ADR not in our hood,&#8221; one caption said. &#8220;Not in the south you rat b***h got his a**.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>However, it&#8217;s unclear if any men involved in the beatdown wrote the text.</p>
<p>Police arrested 6ix9ine in November 2018, and he spent 13 months in jail before sentencing in December 2019. He initially faced 47 years to life in prison for gang-related crimes involving the Nine Trey Bloods.</p>
<p>6ix9ine <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/tekashi-6ix9ine-reportedly-pleads-guilty-to-9-federal-counts-including-racketeering-drugs-guns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pled guilty</a> to racketeering, firearms offenses, conspiracy, and narcotics trafficking&#8211;to name a few. But Tekashi, real name Daniel Hernandez, also became a cooperating witness for the prosecutors against two of his former gang members.</p>
<p>In exchange, he was sentenced to 24 months. In April 2020, he was <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/tekashi-6ix9ines-attorney-reportedly-writes-a-letter-to-the-judge-asking-for-an-early-release-so-he-can-avoid-catching-the-coronavirus/?_gl=1*dlbanp*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTM2NDM2OTM0OC4xNjc5NDg2NDc5*_ga_V2HX8YP3XL*MTY3OTQ4NjQ3OC4xLjAuMTY3OTQ4NjQ3OC4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">released early</a> to home confinement due to the Covid-19 pandemic. By August, officials removed Tekashi&#8217;s ankle monitor and ended the home confinement restrictions. He was set to be on supervised release for five years and responsible for 300 hours of community service.</p>
<p><em>TMZ </em>reports that police and EMS arrived at LA Fitness following the beating. Another video shows 6ix9ine walking out of the bathroom with a bloodied face, accusing patrons around of him of jumping him, but the person recording denied involvement, calling himself &#8220;a fan.&#8221;</p>

<p>As mentioned, an ambulance transported the rapper to a hospital. He reportedly suffered gashes and swelling in his face and injuries to his jaw, ribs, and back.</p>
<p>At this time, it appears the men responsible for the attack were able to flee the scene before police arrived.</p>
<p>This is a developing story.</p>
