The rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was attacked at a LA Fitness gym in South Florida on Tuesday night, and the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office says he was taken to the hospital.
When sheriff’s deputies went to the gym after getting a report of an assault, they “learned that several people got into a fight inside the business, which hurt the victim, Daniel Hernandez,” the sheriff’s office said in a release, using the rapper’s real name.
6ix9ine was taken to a nearby hospital and treated for injuries that were not life-threatening. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office is looking into what happened.
Lance Lazzaro, the rapper’s lawyer, told CNN in a statement that 3 or 4 bad guys beat 6ix9ine up in a sauna at a gym, even though he tried to fight back.

“His face was scratched and bruised. “When employees heard the noise, the people who did it ran away,” Lazzaro said.
In 2019, the Brooklyn rapper pleaded guilty to gang-related charges in New York. He got only two years in prison because he helped federal investigators and gave information about his former gang members.
