American rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has been rushed to the hospital over injuries he sustained after being savagely beaten by a group of men inside a South Florida gym.
The incident was caught on camera and Tekashi 6ix9ine – whose real name is Daniel Hernandez – was seen on the ground, being kicked and beaten.
Once employees at the LA Fitness gym sauna heard the disturbance, the attackers left and local police were called, with Tekashi 6ix9ine taken to a nearby hospital in an ambulance.
6ix9ine’s attorney, Lance Lazzaro, told TMZ that the rapper was inside the sauna on Tuesday, March 21, at an LA Fitness when he was attacked by some guys without warning.

The lawyer added that his client didn’t have any security with him at the time of the attack.
He suffered injuries to his face, with gashes and swelling. He also suffered injuries to his jaw, ribs and his back.
Though it’s unclear if the attack has anything to do with the rapper’s cooperation with the feds on a gang-related case which led to his early release from federal prison, Lazzaro said he will be calling the Feds to make sure 6ix9ine gets the protection he clearly needs.
