Horrible night for Tekashi

Just few hours after 6ix9ine, also known as Tekashi 6ix9ine, dropped “FEFE,” his new musical collaboration with Nicki Minaj, the rapper was kidnapped and robbed.

Tthe 22-year-old Tekashi69, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was filming a music video in Brooklyn, New York, and left the set around 4am on Sunday.

He told police that around 4.30am, he was sitting in the passenger side of a car when they were hit from behind. Tekashi also told law enforcement two men with guns jumped out of the vehicle, stole the driver’s iPhone and put the rapper in the back of their car.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that the men demanded jewelry and cash from Tekashi. He then allegedly called someone inside – believed to be his daughter’s mother – and asked her to come down with his jewelry.

The men were allegedly given $750,000 in jewelry and between $15,000 and $20,000 in cash, reported TMZ.

The gunmen then drove away with Teksahi in the backseat. Sources told TMZ he managed to get one of the rear passenger doors open and escape from the car.

This is different from what TMZ originally reported, that he arrived home to find his driveway surrounded. He allegedly was pistol-whipped and thrown into the backseat of a car by three masked gunmen. Tekashi is then said to have flagged down a passing driver, getting into the passenger’s seat and begging them to call 911.

The controversial rapper was taken to the hospital via ambulance where he awaits test results, says TMZ.

“As crazy as it sounds.. yesterday morning I had a feeling that it was my day to die. May GOD strike me dead if I’m lying,” the “Gummo” rapper posted on Instagram along with a photo of fellow rapper XXXtentacion. “Nothing materialistic is more important then LIFE. I live to see another DAY ?? I get to see my daughter another day. No Hate Charge it to the streets.”
