Why was rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine kicked out of WBC game?

Polarizing rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, may not have gained any new fans this week. The controversial rapper was ejected from the World Baseball Classic matchup between Team Mexico and Team Puerto Rico for intoxication and disturbing the fans around him.

The rapper was removed from LoanDepot Park, home of the Miami Marlins.

Tekashi 6ix9ine was getting into it with Puerto Rican fans, as the rapper was supporting Team Mexico during the match. One witness claimed that he was almost hit in the head by a beer can during the exchange.

“He was drunk, he was inebriated and he was out of control,” the eyewitness added. “There were a lot of families there last night, and he was bothering people.”

Shortly after the incident, the rapper found himself in the news yet again after being jumped in the bathroom of a gym in a South Florida LA Fitness on Tuesday night. His attorney, Lance Lazzaro, said the rapper was attacked inside and outside of the LA Fitness gym sauna by three or four men.

“He had cuts to his face and bruises,” Lazzaro said.

The attorney said that the perpetrators fled after employees heard about the disturbance.

The motivation behind the attack is not known.
