6ix9ine‘s recent brutal beat-down at a Florida-based LA Fitness has inspired viral sensation Detroit D.U.S.T. to offer up some tips on how to avoid the situation in future.
On Friday (March 24), the self-defense instructor took to Instagram with a post captioned, “LA Fitness + 6×9 = Self-defense | How NOT to get Jumped!” In the clip, D.U.S.T. reenacts the video of 6ix9ine by starting out on the ground as two others simulate jumping him.

“This is what you do when you want to survive when you are at LA Fitness — or any other place — and you’re 6’9″ or 69 years old or born in 1969 like me. This is how you survive,” D.U.S.T. says.
His tactics include tripping the attacker with a leg hook and kicking them “repeatedly until he is broke.” “These intelligent options will increase your survivability,” he concludes the video.
On Tuesday (March 21), the Brooklyn rapper (real name Daniel Hernandez) was attacked by a group of men inside a sauna at an LA Fitness in South Florida and was badly beaten before managing to escape. His security was not with him at the time, and he was later hospitalized for his injuries.
Despite the attack, which was recorded by assailants, sources close to the rainbow-haired rapper have told TMZ that he has no interest in switching gyms or upping his security.
He reportedly said he’s not going to let one outlier beatdown change the way he lives his life – despite the men allegedly threatening him and telling him to leave South Florida – and said he’s going to continue going out in public just as he previously had.
One of the “FEFE” rapper’s bodyguards has since called out the assailants and challenged them to face him head on rather than sneak around to get to his client.
“First of all thanks for the free promo,” 6ix9ine’s bodyguard Bam-Bam captioned an Instagram blog post questioning his role. “I need it but second the whole city know how I move N if any of my guys put hands on somebody they ain’t gone move Let alone go fuck for bitches all vixens like @6ix9ine just did… last person disrespect ended up falling asleep in his own piss.”

He continued: “SO THISE GUYS IN THE VIDEO 3 n 4 counting camera guy .. 4 vs 1 y’all weak ass bitches against me .. you win I pay you 10,000$ n if you lose you die .. there will be no ref.. CLAIM IT GANGSTAS.”
6ix9ine has yet to speak publicly on the attack.
