US rapper 6ix9ine was brutally beaten whilst visiting his hometown of Brooklyn on Sunday morning.

Reports show that the performer, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was pistol-whipped and kidnapped during the attack.

6ix9ine was said to enter a police station shortly after the assault where he spoke about how three men pulled him from the passenger seat of a car into a second vehicle where he was robbed of jewelery. He was then brought to a nearby hospital.

However, TMZ reported that the rapper was beaten unconscious and brought to his home, where the robbery took place.

He later took to Instagram to share news of the event to his followers:

As crazy as it sounds.. yesterday morning I had a feeling that it was my day to die. May GOD strike me dead if I’m lying. Everything happens for a reason 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I know you was there 💜 Nothing materialistic is more important then LIFE. I live to see another DAY 🙏🏻 I get to see my daughter another day. No Hate Charge it to the streets.

The attack came just hours after the release of his Nicki Minaj collaboration, 'FEFE' - which see's the pair dancing in a candy-land like universe. The rapper hold up a small dog whilst performing his verses.
