Yailin La Más Viral was arrested on the night of December 14th for attacking Tekashi 6ix9ine at his home in Palm Beach, Florida. Seven days later, the video of her arrest and the first statements she made to police as they held her on the roof of the patrol car emerged.
Crying and fearful, the Dominican singer told her version of events before handcuffing him.
“We were arguing, he comes and attacks me, I record it and he leaves, he takes my phone, he deletes everything, he starts recording, I tell him to give me back my things, 'I'm leaving here', 'I have nothing to do here', he didn't want to give it back to me and told me, no, that I left with nothing, no money, “With nothing, I'm not from here, I don't have a vehicle, I have nothing,” he said, crying, according to the Telemundo video posted by several Instagram accounts such as Alofoke and MoluscoTV.
Yailin claimed that they argued because she wanted to leave and Daniel Hernández, the rapper's real name, did not want to give her his passport or his belongings.
“He took my passport, then he gave it to me, but without my things and without money, where am I going here? He hid it and called his security, he said that he had it and that I should wait for him at 7 o'clock.” Minutes (…) he had stored it there, He hid it from me, gave it to me and left“.
Yailin accuses Tekashi of destroying evidence
The singer pointed out that she had evidence of Tekashi's attacks on her phone, but accused him of deleting it.
“He gave me my phone back but deleted all my evidence. I have a few things but I don't have them, my friend has them and I sent them to her,” she said through tears.
The Dominican woman claimed that 6ix9ine was the first to attack, but when she responded to him, she turned on the phone's camera.
“He’s one of those people who comes and beats you. When he hits you he starts recording, and when you try to attack him, oh no! You're the one attacking me, I have everything here,” the rapper added, who also has “intimate videos” of her.
” It's already making me tired“The other day I wanted to leave and they wouldn’t let me take an Uber or anyone to get me out of here. They took away my phones,” he said, almost unable to speak because he was crying.

The process after the arrest
In the video, the police officers can also be heard explaining the process to Yailin and telling her that Tekashi will pick her up tomorrow morning.
“He didn't want to accuse you before, but we are investigating and the evidence we have is compelling that in Florida, in any domestic situation, because you are together, it is imperative that we arrest the person who committed the beating.” ” said the police about the videos that the rapper is said to have shown them. “If he doesn’t want to do anything (press charges) They'll get you out of jail tomorrow“.
Yailin La Más Viral was released on the afternoon of December 15 after Tekashi reportedly posted $9,000 bail. In addition, the Dominican woman must appear in court on January 16, 2024 to continue the case, so she cannot leave the United States.
