MIAMI (NEWSTARS Education.com) – Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, has been hospitalized after being attacked by a group of men at a gym in Florida on Tuesday night.
Lance Lazzaro, the musician’s lawyer, says multiple people attacked the 26-year-old while he was in the sauna at LA Fitness. Hernández tried to defend himself, but the attackers were too strong for him and he was “beaten” before they fled.
At the time of the incident, Tekashi 6ix9ine was not accompanied by security personnel. Emergency services, including police and an ambulance, were dispatched to the gym after the facility manager heard the commotion.
NEWSTARS Education.com obtained a photo of Hernandez from Twitter that shows her face is swollen and she has a cut near her cheek. People close to the rapper said he sustained injuries to his jaw, ribs and back in the attack.

Lazzaro said his client plans to call the federal government after the attack to request additional security measures. The two men repeatedly beat the rapper as he lay on the gym floor, as seen in a video that has since gone viral on social media.
Another video clip captured a bloody and bruised Tekashi 6ix9ine as he left the sauna and returned to the main gym area. The motives for the attack remain unclear and it is unknown if they are related to the rapper’s previous legal troubles.

After being convicted of racketeering in 2019, Hernandez was released from federal prison in early 2020. He faced multiple charges, including racketeering, attempted murder, possession of a firearm, and assault with a dangerous weapon. These charges stemmed from his association with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
Hernández could have spent at least 47 years in prison and the rest of his life behind bars. Instead, he took the deal and agreed to testify against several gang members, which led to his early release.
Tekashi 6ix9ine has been trying to rebuild his music career and public image ever since he was released from prison. But the recent attack has left people concerned for his safety and the possibility that he will still face threats for being a gang member.
The federal government has not said anything about the incident or the rapper’s request for more security. Meanwhile, the police began to investigate the attack, but no one has been arrested yet.
People who were in the gym at the time of the attack could be asked to present any information that might help police find the attackers and understand why they did what they did.
As Tekashi 6ix9ine recovers from his injuries, his fans and others in the music world are sending him well wishes and messages of concern on social media. It is not yet clear how this will affect the rapper’s career and how confident he will be in the future.
The rapper’s lawyers are closely monitoring the situation and working with the police to keep Tekashi 6ix9ine safe going forward.
More news about the investigation and the rapper’s health is likely to come out in the coming days.
