Tekashi 6ix9ine Sues LA Fitness Gym Chain for $1M Over 2023 Sauna Attack

Tekashi 6ix9ine hit LA Fitness with a $1 million lawsuit over a 2023 gym attack, claiming the gym is responsible for a "violent assault" against him.

Tekashi 6ix9ine has filed a lawsuit against LA Fitness, claiming the gym chain is legally responsible for a 2023 “violent assault” in which he was attacked in the sauna at one of the company’s South Florida locations. In a complaint filed Wednesday (Jan. 15) in Florida court, the controversial rapper (Daniel Hernandez) says LA Fitness owes him more than $1 million in damages over the March 2023 attack by three assailants, which he says left him hospitalized. The sentence was set to run until July 2020, but Tekashi was released early, in April 2020, after his attorneys argued that the coronavirus pandemic posed an increased risk to him because he has asthma.
