Rapper 6ix9ine arrested for ‘beating up two producers

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was hauled away in handcuffs by cops in the Dominican Republic on Friday night.

The moment he was been arrested was caught on camera.

The singer, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was wanted on the Caribbean island in relation to the assault of two music producers. The alleged attack was related to the rapper’s girlfriend, Dominican singer Yailin La mas viral, reports Diario Libre.

Tekashi 6ix9ine, known for his rainbow-colored hair and ’69’ tattoo on his forehead, previously faced decades in prison as part of a racketeering case in which he was accused of using a violent gang as a ‘personal hit squad.’

Instead, his sentence was reduced to about two years after his testimony against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, earning him a label as a ‘snitch.’

The footage shows Hernandez, 27, being led down the steps outside of a hotel as a crowd cheers and records the moment on their cellphones.

Hernandez’s arrest was confirmed by Dominican Republic-based criminal lawyer Felix Portes. In a series of posts on Instagram, Portes said that Hernandez had been attempting to flee the country in a private jet but was put on a ‘migration alert’ meaning he could leave due to the arrest warrant that had been issued.

The actual assault was not captured on video but a clip showing a group of men about to enter a building allegedly shows the moments before the attack took place. The men then hurry away a few minutes after arriving.

According to the Diario Libre report, Yailin was recording a song at a studio with producer Diamond La Mafia when he was attacked along with another person by five men.

La Mafia told the website that Yailin at left the studio at that point. When the men arrived, they demanded to know where she was. He let them into the studio and when they couldn’t find her, they began to attack.

The other man, who was hit with the butt of a gun, required surgery in order to have his jaw realigned, reports Diario Libre.

Diamond La Mafia accused Hernandez of being ‘jealous’ over his relationship with Yailin.

According to Portes, Hernandez was arrested in the town of Samana and will be transferred to La Vega to answer to the assault charges.
