6ix9ine Shares LA Fitness Challenge Video With Bikini Baddies, Celebrates “WAPAE” Single’s Success

by

Some predicted that 6ix9ine would have a tough time coming back from last month’s gym assault. Regardless of what the haters have to say, the New Yorker has clearly been feeling inspired, as he quickly flew overseas to both Uganda and the Dominican Republic to put together an exciting project. On Saturday (April 15), he unleashed his second single of the year, “WAPAE,” which came along with a lively music video mostly recorded on 6ix9ine’s iPhone throughout his various travels.

Hours after announcing the song’s arrival, the 26-year-old shared another Instagram post expressing gratitude to his fans. “Wow… I just want to say thank you. 1,300,000 views & #4 already trending in the world in 3 hours,” he wrote yesterday afternoon. “I decided to jump into the Latin market because 1. I am of Latin [descent] & 2. Not the main reason but I did sign a 3,000,000 dollar deal in 2020 for a Latin album that I never delivered. But I never expected to receive the support that you guys have given me. I want to say thank you & I love you, 💕.”

6ix9ine’s “WAPAE” Brings Him Big Success

Music lovers have made it known how pleased they are to see such a major change in 6ix9ine following his past antics. “The best thing you did was go into the Latin sector and let ppl see your humble side,” one IG user previously expressed. “Big props for what [you’re] doing… This is def the right track. [It’s] giving everyone a view of your true self and not the persona [people] assume you have. Congrats and keep it up.” The numbers are also speaking for themselves, as “WAPAE” has already amassed over 40K streams on Spotify alone in just one day.

Aside from celebrating the success of his latest musical work, the Bushwick-born artist has also been having plenty of fun with his friends in the Dominican Republic. In his most recent post, he and a handful of bikini baddies participated in an internet challenge that found them getting physical in the great outdoors.

Twitter Shows No Mercy For 6ix9ine After LA Fitness Attack

by

After years of patronizing every rapper on the Internet, karma finally caught up with 6ix9ine at LA Fitness on Tuesday. The polarizing rapper found himself in a vicious confrontation at a Florida gym where he was pulverized by a pair of men and eventually, was rushed to a hospital for treatment. Footage emerged on Tuesday night of 6ix9ine leaving a changing room of an LA Fitness with bruises and blood all over his face as Tekashi yelled in disbelief, “Y’all n***as jumped me.” 

Then, the actual footage emerged of 6ix9ine’s beatdown at the gym. Though known for his controversial antics, the video of Tekashi getting attacked at the Florida LA Fitness doesn’t seem staged. The pair of men punched and kicked him in the ribs and face. One of the individuals grabbed 6ix9ine by his weave, yelling, “Take a picture. I wanna be famous now, n***a,” as Tekashi struggled on the ground. At this point, it’s hard to say what prompted the attack on 6ix9ine at the LA Fitness but many believe it’s the result of trying to beef with anyone who will give him any attention like the time he shared his location hoping that someone would attach him.

Twitter Flames 6ix9ine Over LA Fitness Attack

Truthfully, it was only a matter of time until someone caught Tekashi lacking. From the moment he emerged with “GUMMO” until as recently as Gunna’s prison release, 6ix9ine remained unscathed in the face of threats of physical threats, though hitting a public gym like LA Fitness without security was certainly his first mistake. Needless to say, people weren’t necessarily shocked to see the footage.

Attorney for 6ix9ine, Lance Lazarro, told TMZ that the LA Fitness staff immediately called the police before EMS showed up and transported him to the hospital in an ambulance. 6ix9ine not only suffered gashes on his face during the LA Fitness assault but also sustained injuries to his jaw, ribs, and back. Lazarro explained that he will be calling the feds to ensure that Tekashi gets the protection he needs. Still, there’s no concrete evidence linking the gym attack to 6ix9ine’s cooperation during his RICO trial. We’ll keep you posted on any more updates surrounding 6ix9ine. Check out some of the reactions below.
