Tekashi 6ix9ine hospitalized after bloody attack at an LA Fitness in South Florida

Tekashi 6ix9ine was hospitalized Tuesday evening after he was attacked by several people in South Florida. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday on social media that “deputies responded to an incident” at an LA Fitness in Lake Worth, Fla. According to police, there was an altercation between the rapper — whose real name is Daniel Hernandez — and “several individuals.” A graphic video obtained by NBC6 South Florida showed several men cornering and kicking Hernandez in the bathroom. Hernandez’s legal representative Lance Lazzaro told NBC6 South Florida that the rapper was “attacked in a sauna at a gym by three or four thugs” and tried defending himself. He also became the subject of the 2021 Hulu documentary “69: The Saga of Danny Hernandez.” The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said detectives are investigating the incident and encouraged people with knowledge of the incident to share more information via a tip line.
