Tekashi 6ix9ine’s injuries are more serious than originally reported. The 26-year-old “Gooba” rapper was jumped by gang members inside a restroom at an L.A. Fitness in South Florida, the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office announced.
Cellphone video shows two men punching and kicking 6ix9ine while he cowered on the floor in a restroom.
A second video shows the rapper’s bloody face after the assault. He is hospitalized with a broken jaw and multiple cracked ribs as well as injuries to his lower back and facial abrasions.

In a conversation with Newsweek, his attorney Lance Lazzaro revealed that 6ix9ine also suffered a blood clot in his eye.
Oddly, 6ix9ine was wearing a bubble coat, shorts and socks when he was assaulted.
Lazzaro said his client was relaxing in the gym’s sauna when the incident occurred.
Rumors are swirling that 6ix9ine was attacked because he’s a registered sex offender who allegedly molested a 13-year-old girl before his rap career took off.
6ix9ine didn’t have security with him because bodyguards are expensive and he has difficulty booking shows in the U.S. where he is considered a “rat” and a “snitch”.
His alleged cooperation with federal authorities landed multiple gang members in prison in New York.
Lazaro says he intends to make sure 6ix9ine gets federal protection since his life is in danger.
6ix9ine, real name Daniel Hernandez, was granted early release from a New York prison in 2020 after serving 20 months of a 2-year sentence for multiple counts of racketeering, firearms offenses and drug trafficking, TMZ reported.

He was offered protection as a federal informant upon his release, but he reportedly declined the offer.
6ix9ine spends most of his time on social media where he flashes stacks of prop money while bragging about his non-existent riches.
In one video, 6ix9ine told his enemies where he was located and challenged them to meet up with him.
