In a shocking turn of events, rapper Tekashi69, also known as 6ix9ine, was reportedly beaten up in a New York gym earlier today. According to witnesses, the controversial artist was ambushed by a group of men who proceeded to assault him while he was working out.

Eyewitnesses claim that Tekashi was caught off guard and unable to defend himself as the attackers repeatedly punched and kicked him. The incident reportedly lasted several minutes before gym staff and other bystanders intervened and called the police.

The 25-year-old rapper, who has a history of legal troubles and feuds with fellow artists, was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment of his injuries. Details on the extent of his injuries have not been released, but sources say he sustained several bruises and cuts.

The motive for the attack is not yet clear, but some speculate that it may be related to Tekashi’s ongoing feud with fellow rapper Meek Mill. The two have been trading insults and threats on social media in recent weeks, with Meek Mill accusing Tekashi of being a snitch and Tekashi taunting Meek Mill over his previous legal troubles.

Tekashi’s representatives have yet to release a statement on the incident, and the NYPD is currently investigating the attack. This is not the first time the rapper has been targeted for violence, as he famously testified against members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang in exchange for a reduced prison sentence.

Fans and critics of Tekashi alike have taken to social media to express their shock and concern over the attack. Many have condemned the use of violence as a means of resolving disputes and urged the parties involved to seek nonviolent solutions.
