Daniel Hernandez, also known as 6ix9inewas rushed to the hospital by ambulance after being brutally assaulted at a South Florida gym.

TMZ reported that 6ix9ine was at LA Fitness and was hit by several guys without warning after he exited the sauna. The rapper tried to fight back but was outnumbered. Gym staff heard the commotion and notified the gym manager, police and ambulance. 6ix9ine had no security with her at the time and was bleeding as the men fled the scene.

The rapper’s attorney, Lance Lazzaro, told TMZ that he plans to contact authorities to ensure the rapper is given proper protection. It was also not known if the attack was related to the rapper’s grant of early release from federal prison in 2019 after reports that he had colluded with authorities to put several of his gang members behind bars.

6ix9ine released two studio albums throughout his music career and has been featured in other videos by other artists. USA Today reported that the rapper once accused Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande of “cheating” their way onto the Billboard Hot 100. He claims the two pop artists paid Billboard for the number one spot after releasing their single “Stuck With You.” Meanwhile, the rapper’s song “Gooba” debuted at No. 3.

This isn’t the first time 6ix9ine’s life has been in danger. In 2018, the rapper was kidnapped by three gunmen in Brooklyn after filming a music video. The rapper took $750,000 in custom jewelry and $35,000 in cash. The rapper managed to escape and was taken to the hospital thanks to the help of a stranger. It has also been reported that the rapper has been involved in other feuds since his early release from prison.
