Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was arrested Sunday in the Dominican Republic after he was accused of beating up music producers, TMZ reports.
The outlet claims Dominican Republic police took Tekashi, 27, into custody at the Hotel Balcones del Atlántico in Sánchez.
The Post has contacted reps for the Brooklyn-born rapper for comment.
An attorney for Tekashi, whose legal name is Daniel Hernandez, told the Dominican newspaper Diario Libre that the “Mala” hitmaker surrendered himself “voluntarily.”
A warrant had been issued for his arrest.
He is accused of attacking two producers with five other men at a studio early Friday morning.
The dispute allegedly stemmed from jealousy over the producers spending time with Tekashi’s new girlfriend, Yailin, per TMZ.
The arrest adds to Tekashi’s growing list of legal troubles. He spent nearly two years in federal lockup for racketeering, receiving a reduced sentence after testifying against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang in 2019.
He pleaded guilty to a felony count of use of a child in a sexual performance in 2015. The incident involved physical contact with a 13-year-old girl.
He was later accused of domestic violence and sexual assault.
