Fans react to 6ix9ine's altercation at Team Mexico's World Baseball Classic game

The New York rapper 6ix9ine, also known as Tekashi69, was spotted at the 2023 World Baseball Classic game between Mexico and Puerto Rico. The controversial musician and entertainer found himself in the headlines after an altercation with a fan.

Although he was born in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, 6ix9ine has ties to both Mexico and Puerto Rico. The 26-year-old is the son of Natividad Perez-Hernandez and Daniel Hernandez Sr., who are from Mexico and Puerto Rico respectively. On this occasion, however, 6ix9ine was representing Mexico as he brashly waived the flag in the front row.

The loud and aggressive manner in which Tekashi69 has been known to behave might rub some people the wrong way. That is exactly what happened on this occasion.

One fan was so irrated he decided to throw his half-full beer can at the rapper. Other fans chose to express their anger with their middle fingers and loud boos.

Baseball fans took to Twitter to discuss the latest sighting of this very controversial figure.

Fans were surprised to see 6ix9ine not supporting Puerto Rico. The rapper has connections to the Caribbean island through his father but chose to represent Mexico on this occasion.

Some fans were not surprised to see the contentious rapper in the middle of all the drama. Tekashi69 has been arrested on several charges in the past and his career has been steeped in controversy.

It was reported that 6ix9ine was moved to another section of the stadium after the incident.

This was a closely contested game where the loser was going home. Team Puerto Rico took an early four-run lead in the first inning. That woke up Team Mexico, who proceeded to score a run in the second and fifth innings. Isaac Paredes' single in the seventh drove in three runs to give Mexico a 5-4 lead, which they held on to.

It was a historic moment for Team Mexico as they qualified for their first ever World Baseball Classic semifinal. They will go on to play a strong Japanese team that has been led by MLB stars like Shohei Ohtani and Yu Darvish.

In the midst of a heated competitive atmosphere, it may have been wise for Tekashi69 to not taunt the crowd. That, however, has never been his style.
