6ix9ine was attacked in the sauna of a Florida gym

6ix9ine was beaten in the Florida gym on March 21, 2023. The video of the incident quickly went viral, garnering attention from hundreds of netizens.

Multiple clips were shared online, and they all saw 6ix9ine being jumped as he was cowering on the floor. The rapper seemed to cover his head to prevent any injuries.

Police and EMS had to rush to the scene of the assault. Soon after, 6ix9ine was taken to the hospital where he was said to have non-life-threatening injuries.

It is worth noting that 6ix9ine's allegedly posted a video of the incident on social media themselves. By the end of the attack, the rapper was bloodied and bruised throughout. 6ix9ine was kicked and punched numerous times the men, as seen in the video.

Tekashi was allegedly a regular at the South Florida gym's sauna and never reportedly caused trouble for others. He stuck to his business and posed with fans when recognized. A new report came soon after the incident and said the employees of the gym locked the rapper in a 'safe room' after the attack.

6ix9ine did not have any security with him during the incident. The hospital said he had injuries to his face, jaw, ribs, and back.

The incident took place five years after he 'snitched' against the Bloods gang and Cardi B in federal court. He was facing a minimum prison sentence of 47 years and a maximum life sentence before he testified against his co-defendants. He was charged with racketeering, firearm possession, armed robbery, and attempted murder.

Although there is no link between the assault and the case, fans believe it was the reason behind the unexpected attack.

Soon after he was discharged from the hospital, the rapper went to Cuba. A video of him in the Caribbean country was shared on social media on March 27. Soon after, a video showed the rapper recording a new music video while surrounded by locals.

This wasn't the only reason he made headlines this month. He was escorted out of a baseball match in Miami for drinking too much. His daughter's mother, Sara Molina, said that the rapper's behavior was "embarrassing" for their daughter, Saraiyah.
