On March 21, the three men are accused of assaulting Tekashi inside a sauna at a LA Fitness in Lake Worth Beach, Fla. The attackers are seen entering the gym before viciously beating 6ix9ine, leaving him bloodied on the floor.
6ix9ine was taken to the hospital after suffering non-life-threatening injuries to his jaw, ribs, and back. After the attack, the gym’s staff reportedly locked the rapper in a room, saving him from an even worse beating.

It’s unclear whether the suspects have any ties to the Nine Trey gang members who testified against Tekashi during his racketeering trial. 6ix9ine was not accompanied by security at the time of the ambush, but his attorney intends to speak with the feds and obtain him protection to avoid a repeat incident.
Following the beating, Tekashi reappeared in Cuba. While hiking through the hills, he appeared to be in good spirits. He hasn’t said anything since the attack.
