Newsweek contacted West Palm Beach police by email to confirm if 6ix9ine was arrested.

The alleged arrest comes just months after 6ix9ine was assaulted at a nearby Florida gym.

6ix9ine suffered fractured ribs and a blood clot in his eye after being assaulted at a branch of the LA Fitness gym chain in March.
