6ix9ine’s alleged gym attackers have reportedly been arrested.
According to WPTV, three suspects believed to be behind the bloody beatdown were taken into police custody in Palm Beach County, Florida on Thursday (March 30).
Rafael Medina Jr., 43; Octavious Medina, 23; and Anthony Maldonado, 25, are accused of assaulting and robbing the Brooklyn rapper (real name Daniel Hernandez) at an LA Fitness in South Florida on March 21. The attack was caught on camera.
Jail records show that the trio were booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on assault and robbery charges. They are expected to make their first court appearances on Friday morning (March 31).
As reported by TMZ at the time, 6ix9ine was in a sauna at an LA Fitness when he was jumped by a group of men who left him “savagely” beaten.
The rapper’s attorney, Lance Lazzaro, said his client tried to fight off the attackers, but was outnumbered and badly beaten before he managed to flee. He did not have security with him at the time.
Police and paramedics were called to the scene after gym staff heard the commotion, resulting in 6ix9ine being taken via ambulance to a local hospital.
Footage of attack posted on Instagram showed 6ix9ine lying on the floor protecting his head as two men stood over him and kicked and punched him.
“Bitch ass! Clown ass n-gga!” one of the men could be heard shouting while roughing up the rainbow-haired rapper. “Take a picture! I want to be famous now, n-gga!”
The video’s caption read: “King Shit we caught 6ix9ine slipping fuck a rat ADR not on our hood,” suggesting the attack was sparked by 6ix9ine’s history of snitching.
A video of the aftermath of the attack showed the “GUMMO” rapper sporting a swollen and bloodied face as he made his way through the gym.
“They jumped me,” he said while a fellow gym goer who claimed to be a fan recorded him.
A photo of 6ix9ine’s injuries provided an even closer look at his swollen, bruised and bloodied face. He also reportedly suffered injuries to his jaw, ribs and back.
The incident was met with glee among many of 6ix9ine’s rap peers. “Lmao SNITCHES GET STITCHES LETS START A GO FUND FOR THIS GUY,” Boosie Badazz wrote on Twitter alongside a clip of the beatdown.
“WE NEED TO START A GO FUND FOR THIS GUYLIKE COOKIE MONEY SAY WE GOTTA STARTT REWARDING THE REAL ONES,” he added, referencing one of the attackers.
Jim Jones, who has clashed with 6ix9ine in the past, danced with a smile on his face when asked about the rapper’s misfortune in a recent interview with TMZ.
Don’t arrest them,give them The Nobel Peace Prize.
We sed it! Nobody mess wit King Tekashi n get away wit it. Funny part bout is its only jus begun. Dem n*ggaz gone pay. Dey snitch on dey self too. LMAO
All 6ix9ine ever done was spread luv in the game and these bussa thought they could stop the movement. They’ll be on booty duty in the pen taking hits like they was doing on that video.
Lies lies lies. that bitch is a 🐀.
Its funny that you think people are really getting raped in prison now adays.
69 is laughing his ass off eating calamari right about now
Into the next ass whipping arrives rat ass nigga
Great guys! Nuff luv.
So that settles it then? Dude spent a few hours in hospital with no damage and walked out. Three pussy couldn’t put his rainbow ass in a coma? Lames man…
No damage? Dude bled and went to the hospital after begging for mercy like the little puss he is. And what would you do? 6ix9ine would probably knock you the fuck out and then plow your girl on your bed in your mom’s basement
@ Wut / we all know $l!M€’s bitch is your mother so take this L and shut the fuck up virgin 69 got played and the perps ratted on they self
Calling someone else you don’t know a virgin is an insult a 12 year old would use. I know 6ix9ine is probably raising your daughter but don’t pretend you’re not pathetic on the internet to prevent your inevitable suicide kid
Your lame ass wouldn’t have done any better than those guys.
How dumb do you have to be to get arrested for gym brawls when you’re 43 years old lol
I can see someone in their young 20’s doing dumb shit for clout or whatever, but when the 40 some year old dad is involved too… How fucking stupid is this old man? I say that as a fellow old man.
Its a dumb Cuban Floridian retard!
That’s what’s up!!! Tekashi is the Goat ! Those thugs were just jealous that they don’t have the street cred like 6ix9ine !
This could be the worst thing to happen to him because now we’re all waiting to see if he’s going to testify…
Now would be the best time for him to release music.
