Tekashi 6ix9ine's bodyguard has spoken out after the rapper was brutally beaten by multiple men inside the bathroom of a Florida gym.
On Tuesday (March 21), the 26-year-old 'Gooba' rapper's attorney, Lance Lazzaro, revealed to TMZ that his client was rushed to a hospital after he was attacked at a sauna in LA Fitness in southern Florida.
A video of the attack was posted on social media and shows two men towering over the rainbow-haired rapper on the bathroom floor, as he tries to cover his head from the blows.
The men yell "shut the f*** up" at him, while one kicks his stomach and the other punches his head, according to the video posted on Twitter.
The lawyer of the rapper - whose legal name is Daniel Hernandez - revealed to the outlet that the musician had no personal security with him on that day.
After the brutal attack, he walked out of the bathroom with a bloodied face after the cameraman told him he is a fan. He was then rushed to the hospital after staff at the gym heard the commotion and immediately informed a manager.
TMZ obtained a photograph of the 'FEFE' rapper's bloodied and bruised face and it displays his sustained injuries to his jaw, ribs, and back.
Now, 6ix9ine's bodyguard, Bam-Bam, has taken to his Instagram to challenge the men who ambushed the rapper this week to a fight.
This follows speculation that the rapper's guard arranged for the two men to beat up his client at the gym, per the outlet. Bam-Bam took to Instagram to deny the accusations and put $10,000 on the table to fight the guys who came for Tekashi.
"69 a grown man n he wanted to do cardio on his own," he first wrote on his Instagram story. "He be outside like that...I can’t control him...but to say I set him up...false allegations.. [something] minorities used to...we be accused of nothing."
He then declared in a now-deleted post that he wants to go head-to-head with four people by himself and even went so far as to promise "if you lose you die".
"4 vs 1 y’all weak ass b****es against me..you win I pay you 10,000$ n if you lose you die..there will be no ref..claim it gangstas," the bodyguard captioned a post.
Following the violent incident, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office released a statement to Twitter on Wednesday (March 22), writing: "Last night, our deputies responded to an incident at LA Fitness (8000 Block of Lantana Rd) in Lake Worth."
"An altercation occurred between several individuals, leaving [6ix9ine] Daniel Hernandez injured. Hernandez was transported to a local hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries," they went on.
The cops then urged the public to assist in helping them bring those who beat up 6ix9ine to justice, adding: "We need your help! If you have any information, please contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS or stay anonymous by downloading the PBSO app for Apple or Android."
