RAPPER Tekashi 6ix9ine’s girlfriend has been arrested after she reportedly punched him in the face outside a Miami club.

Wattley is being held on a $1,500 bail at a Miami-Dade county jail.

The rapper later told TMZ that he was working on getting his girlfriend out of jail.

He said: "I’m gonna get her out jail — she attacked me in front of the police I told them, 'You have to evaluate her she’s obviously under the influence I don’t plan to press charges … I’m the one trying to bail her out.”

Tekashi has not posted on his Instagram account since August 22 but appeared to break his silence in a live stream, according to Marca.

He said: “I know you guys have been expecting a lot of music.

"Just right now, genuinely I’m not mentally.”

He said he’s trying to get “mentally right”, adding that he doesn't want to give his supporters any “false hope”.

A 'DARK PLACE'

Tekashi, who admitted that he was drunk in the video, repeatedly stressed that he loves his fans.

He said: “I find myself in a pretty dark place all the time. Obviously, I love my fans. I’m always here for you guys.”

The artist also claimed that he remains the king of the internet and Instagram.

Tekashi was arrested on racketeering and drug charges in 2018 and faced a minimum of 47 years behind bars.

But, he testified against members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang and received a reduced sentence.

Tekashi received a two-year jail sentence before being granted early release in April 2020 amid the Covid pandemic.

There were fears that the star, who suffers from asthma, was at risk of contracting the disease in federal jail.

He was required to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest before being released in August of that year.
