When the robbers fled the scene with 6ix9ine still in the backseat of their car, he eventually escaped by opening the door of the vehicle and jumping out. After seeking the help of a stranger, who called 911, an ambulance arrived and took 6ix9ine to the hospital, where he's currently being treated. (Billboard has reached out to 6ix9ine's representatives for comment.)

The incident occurred in the hours following the drop of 6ix9ine's "FEFE" remix, which features Nicki Minaj. He hinted at the collaboration earlier this week, and TMZ additionally reported that a Miami jeweler completed a rush order for a custom chain he intended to wear for a music video shoot involving Minaj.tekashi69-2017-billboard-1548.jpg
