Tekashi 6ix9ine Alleged Attacker Identified As High-Ranking Member Of Latin Kings: Report

by

Nearly a week passed since the vicious beating of Tekashi 6ix9ine at an LA Fitness in Florida. Three men walked into an LA Fitness where they caught the rapper slacking in the sauna and proceeded to pulverize him on the floor. The gym’s staff had to rush him to safety while police swiftly arrived to the scene. However, fans didn’t necessarily have much sympathy considering his previous antics. Whether berating his peers in rap or dissing the dead, many felt as though the beatdown was long overdue.

Between the cell phone footage, CCTV cameras, and the publicity surrounding the attack, it seemed impossible that the perpetrators wouldn’t identify themselves. However, police announced that they made three arrests in the case. Authorities arrested Rafael Medina Jr., his son, Octavious Medina, and a third man, Anthony Maldonado on preliminary charges of felony battery and robbery. However, the latest update on the case surrounds the oldest of the three suspects and his alleged ties to the Bloods. 

Police: Tekashi 6ix9ine Suspect Is A Latin Kings Member

According to TMZ, Palm Beach County Sheriff revealed that Rafael Medina Jr. is a documented member of the Latin Kings gang. He’s held a high-ranking position in the Latin Kings Palm Beach County Chapter over the past few years. Medina Jr. reportedly holds the title of “Inca” – the Chapter’s president., according to Gang Unit Detectives. At this point, it remains unclear if he acted alone or on behalf of the Latin Kings. Still, the connection alone seems to put a few pieces together.

The tabloid publication reports that the Palm Beach County Sheriff Office identified the Latin Kings as allies of the Bloods. As you recall, Tekashi 6ix9ine took the stand against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods – a subset of the United Blood Nation. Medina Jr. was previously convicted of felony charges in the mid-2000s during a federal RICO case surrounding the Latin Kings. Again, it’s unclear what the motivation behind attacking 6ix9ine is but the revelation about Medina Jr. suggests that it likely had to do with street politics moreso than Tekashi’s internet antics. We’ll keep you posted with anymore updates surrounding the case.

6ix9ine Locked In A Room After Gym Attack: Report

by

Things could’ve gotten worse for Tekashi 6ix9ine if not for the staff at LA Fitness in Florida. According to TMZ, staff members quickly rushed 6ix9ine to a private room after he was brutally assaulted inside the sauna. The publication states that they locked Tekashi in a room before authorities arrived. 6ix9ine reportedly frequents the LA Fitness in Lake Worth regularly without any issues. Staff said that if he’s ever approached, he’s open to taking pictures and is incredibly kind to everyone. The rapper’s workout routine usually consists of 20 minutes on the Stairmaster before he leaves.

The footage shows 6ix9ine protecting his face as he got kicked and punched. Afterward, the rapper appears to have blood and cuts covering his face. His attorney, Lance Lazzaro, said that he suffered cuts to his face, and injuries to his back, ribs, and jaw. “He was attacked in a Sauna at a gym by three or four thugs who beat him up (he tried fighting back), he said. “​​Employees heard the disturbance and the perpetrators fled. The injuries weren’t life-threatening and 6ix9ine is recovering, Lazzaro said to CBS.

6ix9ine Recovering From Attack, Says Attorney

Ultimately, it seems as though 6ix9ine didn’t provoke the attack by any means. On Wednesday evening, surveillance footage from the gym captured the alleged attackers entering the facilities. However, their identities still aren’t clear. The video shows one of the men suspected of attacking Tekashi 6ix9ine walk into the gym’s front desk to allow another man in. Then, a third individual joined them before they walked to the gym’s sauna area where they attacked Tekashi 6ix9ine on camera.  

Police in South Florida were called and he was transported via ambulance to a local hospital.” At this point, the motive behind the attack is still unclear. While the footage shows the men entering the gym, there’s no sign indicating whether or not they planned the attack. Of course, many believe that the attack could’ve been related to snitching, though there’s nothing suggesting that there was any connection to his RICO case. We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates.

6ix9ine Spotted Working Out Before Gym Beatdown In New Footage

by

Tekashi 6ix9ine got caught slipping this week at an LA Fitness in Florida. A video of the Brooklyn rapper getting jumped emerged online last night after years of claiming that he’s gone “untouched.” Though some suspected it would be a rival rapper who would put their hands on him, two unidentified individuals caught him in the changing room. In the clip, 6ix9ine covers his face as he gets punched and kicked on the ground.

The first video to emerge was 6ix9ine post-beatdown. He walked out of the changing room with blood all over his face and his clothing mangled, accusing the cameraman, who claimed to be a fan, that he jumped him. Though the individual denied it, 6ix9ine walked out of the gym. Eventually, an ambulance transported him to a nearby hospital where he was treated for his injuries. Still, people continue to wonder how this occurred when he typically has a fleet of security by his side. 

The Lead Up To 6ix9ine’s Beatdown

We saw a video of the post-attack and the attack itself but one fan managed to capture footage of 6ix9ine working out moments before he was pummelled. The video, which might be as humorous as his reaction after getting beaten, emerged on TikTok. Tekashi appears in a Moncler puffer jacket as he puts in work on the elliptical. It’s unclear why he was wearing a winter coat in the Florida gym but we could only assume that it was to help him sweat more.

The clip itself is quite telling, especially since he appears to have no security surrounding him. It seems like he became even more comfortable being out in public without having some sort of backup. Nonetheless, his attorney said that they’ll be informing the Feds about the incident to create some sort of solution. Somehow, 6ix9ine’s gone unscathed since testifying in court and being labeled a snitch, though, as Wack 100 stated, this could be a hard-learned lesson to move strategically when he’s out and about. Check out the clip of him before the attack above. Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

Dave Chappelle Attacker Hit With Prison Sentence

by

We all remember the video from earlier this year of Dave Chappelle being attacked while on stage. Seven months later, the man responsible for the attack, Isaiah Lee is receiving jail time for the offense.

The incident occurred during the comedian’s appearance at the Hollywood Bowl in May. Video footage taken by other members of the audience shows the attack taking place. Seemingly out of nowhere, Lee leaps from the front row of the crowd to jump up on the stage.

He subsequently bum-rushes Chappelle and tackles him. The comedian’s security and entourage were quick in their response, not allowing for the attacker to get very far.

Upon collecting himself, the 49-year-old proceeded to joke about the situation. “Thank God he was clumsy. He’s back there getting stomped,” he exclaimed while catching his breath.

According to a report from Deadline, Lee has now pleaded no contest to the charge of assault with a deadly weapon. As a result, he receives 270 days in jail.

Although the attacker had a replica handgun containing a hidden knife at the time of the assault, Chappelle suffered no injuries.

Later reports indicated that Lee had actually made a rap song about the comedian in 2020, in which he makes reference to the future attack. “Walkin’ straight into da Bowl,” he raps.

This news arrives on the heels of Chappelle recently receiving backlash for another one of his shows. Just a few days ago, he brought out his friend Elon Musk to join him on stage in San Fransisco.

The new owner of Twitter was immediately met with boos. In his since-deleted response to the situation, the SpaceX CEO wrote, “Technically, it was 90% cheers & 10% boos (except during quiet periods), but, still, that’s a lot of boos, which is a first for me in real life (frequent on Twitter).”

Of course, Musk has been under a lot of fire ever since the handling of his acquisition of Twitter in October.

After promptly firing major employees, he has gone on to roll out a paid verification feature, in which anyone can obtain a blue check – so long as they pay $7.99/month.

He also re-launched the Twitter Blue service, charging iPhone users more than other subscribers to access the “subscriber-only features.”

Finally, what do you think of the 270-day sentence? Comment down below and continue to stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates.
