As per TMZ, following the arrest of the suspects, 6ix9ine slammed the three men who attacked him in a South Florida gym in an Instagram video on Friday. He called them cowards but added that he wasn't angry about the "unfair" incident.

The caption of the video read:

“For 2 years I have been walking around with no security. Not saying I promote that BUT now you see I really never hid from anything.”

The rapper stated that he had no ties to the unspecified reason that provoked the attack and added that he was happy to be alive.

“In the street there’s no rules so I can't say they were wrong. I’m happy to be here still.”

The rapper concluded his message by thanking his fans and sarcastically noted that he was unaware that attacking unsuspecting individuals fit into the "woke" culture. He said that he loved his fans and sarcastically added that he didn't know people respected "jumping people," as he wondered when that became a win.

The remark comes in the wake of another rapper Boosie Badazz suggesting a fundraiser to help raise money to reward the suspects in the incident.
