Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was beaten up by a group of men inside a South Florida gym on March 22, according to his attorney.

The musician, 26, sustained injuries that required him to be taken to hospital by ambulance, Lance Lazzaro has confirmed.

Lazzaro, attorney for 6ix9ine—whose real name is Daniel Hernandez—told Newsweek that his client was using the sauna at a gym on Tuesday evening when he was attacked.

The lawyer added that 6ix9ine tried to fight back against the attackers.

Lazzaro told reporters that “employees” at the gym where the incident occurred “heard the disturbance and the perpetrators fled.”

“Police in South Florida were called and he was transported via ambulance to a local hospital,” he added.

Reporters have contacted LA Fitness, where the attack reportedly happened, for comment via email.

Media outlets had previously reported in their coverage of the incident that “6ix9ine did not have security with him at the time of the attack.”
