Tekashi69 is sued by a stripper who accuses the rapper of hitting her on the head with a bottle of champagne
Controversial rapper Tekashi69 is facing new legal problems after an exotic dancer sued him for aggravated battery after he allegedly bloodied his head with a bottle of champagne.
The dancer, Alexis Salaberrios, filed a lawsuit on Friday over what she said was a violent encounter at the Gold Rush Cabaret on Saturday, February 20, according to TMZ.
Salaberrios says in his lawsuit that the 24-year-old rapper threw a ‘deadly object with the intention of committing serious bodily harm’.

David M. Tarlow, Salaberrios’ lawyer, claimed to TMZ that Tekashi69 threw a bottle of champagne at his client’s head after someone in the crowd called him a ‘rat’.
The rapper was widely criticized among rap fans in 2019, when he testified against gang members in exchange for a short prison sentence after he originally faced the possibility of a 47-year mandatory sentence.
According to the lawyer, the rapper (real name: Daniel Hernandez) missed the target and hit Salaberrios in the head.
A photo provided to TMZ appears to show the top of the victim’s head, where she appears to have a runny cut and hair covered in blood.

Salaberrios would have to go to an emergency room, where he received staples to close the wound.
The dancer is also targeting Gold Rush Cabaret for gross negligence, after he allegedly did not have enough security present to keep an eye on Tekashi69, who she claimed to have a ‘propensity for violence’.
After the rapper was escorted out of the club, Salaberrios claims that club officials pressured her not to report the incident to the police.
Her lawyer says she ignored this guidance and called the police.
