The New York-born and Miami-based rapper apparently owes the credit card company about $120,000.

Tekashi 6ix9ine's woes keep piling up, despite the rapper trying to keep his head up after a group of men attacked him in a gym bathroom. Now, however, his opposition is trying to face him in court instead of the streets, as American Express just filed a lawsuit against him. Moreover, the provocateur allegedly owes the credit card company about $120,000 in the form of credit card debt, according to Radar Online. After some time pursuing repayment, AmEx resorted to legal action as a means to get the rainbow-haired MC to respond to his debt. Furthermore, it seems like he was hard to track down in the first place.

Despite initial struggles, a process server tracked 6ix9ine down on March 23, finding him at Delicias Cuban Bakery in Miami. According to Radar Online, the server spotted the artist's blue Lamborghini and followed him inside the establishment. Then, after he confirmed his identity, he presented the 26-year-old with the legal documents. Given that it's been about two weeks since that incident, it's unclear how Tekashi will respond or resolve this issue with American Express.

Speaking of responses, 6ix9ine recently opened up about the gym beatdown in various interviews and on Instagram. "For me, it was tough to watch because it was so unexpected,” he told NBC 6 South Florida. “It’s cowardly. When I look at it, I just see hate, right? Imagine being someone who doesn’t know someone from a hole in the wall. I’ll give you an example: today is the first day that I meet you, I don’t know you from anywhere, I could have heard something about you that I may have an opinion on, but I don’t know you to hate you.

“Does that give me the right to attack you? To ambush you?” he continued. “I think it was cowardly. I think it was opportunistic, but again I’m not mad because I know in the streets there are no rules. I’m at a loss for words because they saw an opportunity and they took it." Regardless of your take on that, stick around on HNHH for updates on this story and the latest from 6ix9ine.
