Tekashi Seeks $1 Million in Damages After Brutal Attack at Florida Gym

6ix9ine has filed a lawsuit against LA Fitness following a brutal attack he endured at one of their Florida locations in March 2023. According to documents obtained by TMZ on January 17, the rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, is seeking over $1 million in damages, claiming the gym failed to provide adequate security to prevent the assault.

In his lawsuit, 6ix9ine alleges that the gym staff was not properly trained in security protocols and failed to call the police immediately after the attack began. The damages he seeks cover physical pain, humiliation, medical expenses, loss of income, and a diminished quality of life.

The incident occurred when 6ix9ine was attacked by a group of men in the sauna. Despite his attempts to fight back, the rapper was outnumbered and severely beaten before escaping. He did not have security with him at the time. Gym staff eventually called the police, and 6ix9ine was transported to a hospital.

Footage of the assault, which surfaced on Instagram, shows 6ix9ine being punched and kicked as one of the attackers taunts him. The attack was reportedly linked to 6ix9ine’s controversial history as a “snitch.” Three suspects were arrested shortly after the incident.

6ix9ine’s lawyers are having problems with the rapper

6ix9ine’s lawyers from the Meloni & McCaffrey law firm told the U.S. District Judge Hector Gonzalez that they’re planning to quit legally representing the rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, because he can’t be located or contacted, and hasn’t paid bills for months, according to Allhiphop.

“From June 2021 until March 2022, I had sporadic communications directly with Mr. Hernandez, and mainly communicated with him via texts,” attorney Robert Meloni said.

“There is now a total breakdown in communication between Mr. Hernandez and the Firm,” Meloni added. “Mr. Hernandez’s last communication with me took place in early March 2022 relating to one of the other litigations. Finally, I just learned that Mr. Hernandez changed his phone number, which he did not tell me himself. He did not provide me with his new mobile number.”

He continued, “Moreover, Mr. Hernandez, who has not made a payment to the firm since December 2021, has a substantial outstanding balance for this matter and four other litigations, and has not indicated an intent or ability to make a payment in the future.”
