One of the victims claimed that the rapper was looking for his girlfriend Yailin La Mas Viral, who had been working with the victims in the studio right before he got there, before 6ix9ine and his crew began to fight them.
The brawl wasn't caught on camera, but video showed 6ix9ine and his team as they fled the scene after the fight. The two victims showed their injuries in an interview with a blogger not long after 6ix9ine and co. dipped. There's no word on whether 6ix9ine can leave the island or not.
