The internet is blowing up once again after it was reported that former rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was brutally jumped and beat up in a South Florida, LA Fitness. Though why did he get jumped in the first place and what is the internet’s reaction to it?

Well for those who don’t know the twenty-six-year-old rapper was serving his sentence after being found guilty of multiple charges of racketeering, firearms offenses, drug trafficking, and more.

Though he was released in 2020 due to fear of health issues surrounding the Covid pandemic and placed in home confinement which ended the summer of that year. He also received a shorter prison sentence after cooperating with federal officials which resulted in his former associates also receiving sentencing.

It is currently unconfirmed, some believe it was this deal made that resulted in the rapper being attacked while using an LA Fitness sauna this past Tuesday. At the time 6ix9ine reportedly did not have his bodyguards with him and tried to fight back.

While it is never okay to physically assault someone, some have taken to the side of the assailants who quickly fled the scene before police could arrive. Some call the rapper a rat. The rapper was quickly taken to the hospital after receiving multiple injuries, but none seem to be life-threatening. 6ix9ine’s lawyer Lazzaro gave comments that his team is focused on giving the rapper the protection he needs.

Though what did the internet have to say about the latest incident involving the music artist?
