TAMPA, FLORIDA: The horrific attack on Tekashi 6ix9ine by a gang of men inside a LA Fitness restroom in southern Florida has sparked concerns about the absence of his bodyguard, Bam Bam. These concerns soon developed into more serious accusations, with many people suspecting Bam Bam of being a key player in the planning of the attack on Tuesday, March 21.

Lance Lazzaro, the lawyer for the rapper, stated that Tekashi was beaten "to a pulp" and suffered bruises and facial injuries while being without security at the time. Tekashi made every effort to defend himself, but the attackers outweighed him. Tekashi's bodyguard, Bam Bam, has now opened up amid the allegations. Bam Bam offered the attackers $10k in exchange for fighting him and even stated that it would be four against one, as per TMZ. The Miami-based bodyguard has been protecting Tekashi for a while now, but regrettably wasn't there when the attack occurred.
