Tekashi 6ix9ine involved in fight at Las Vegas UFC event

Tekashi 6ix9ine has landed himself in further controversy after it has emerged that the rapper got involved in an altercation with a member of the crowd at a Las Vegas Ultimate Fighting Championship event on the weekend.

The Hip Hop star was present at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday (September 25th) when a fan, anger by his presence, began shouting insults at the heavily tattooed star and allegedly threw a drink at him. 

The infuriated Tekashi 6ix9ine then reportedly responded by throwing a drink back in the angry man’s direction. The incident has been described as both a waste of beer and police time after the initial instigator was led away in handcuffs for his unruly aggravations. 

According to TMZ, Tekashi 6ix9ine was not reprimanded or charged for his part in the beer-swilling ruckus. And as of yet, he has not commented on the footage that captures the incident in the Tweet below. 

While this all seems like petty tomfoolery caused by a drunken hoodlum, the reason it raised eyebrows is because the star is seemingly prone to such incidents. Earlier this year, the rapper had a run-in with fellow performer Meek Mill outside of an Atlanta Club.

According to reports from the scene in Atlanta, Tekashi 6ix9ine apparently began hurling abuse at Meek and his security team after he cogitated that a member of his entourage belonged to the police force. 

Once more, nothing came of this incident, and we can only hope that remains and Tekashi 6ix9ine’s altercations can be mitigating moving forward he finds himself in a spot worthy of the UFC spotlight rather than watching it from the crowd.
