Three individuals have been taken into custody after allegedly assaulting and robbing rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine at a South Florida gym last week (March 21).

TMZ who first reported the story says, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office released a statement on Thursday (March 30), announcing that Rafael Medina Jr., 43, Octavious Medina, 23, and Anthony Maldonado, 25, were being booked on suspicion of felony battery and robbery charges.

The incident occurred when the rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was in a sauna at an LA Fitness south of West Palm Beach.
