The girlfriend of rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was arrested following a confrontation at a restaurant in Florida, police said.

The incident involving Rachel Wattley — who goes by Jade — was captured on video obtained by TMZ on Monday.

It shows both Jade and her boyfriend on a street in Miami outside the restaurant Kiki on the River, where they are approached by a group of women on Sunday. One of the women can be seen taking a swing at Tekashi 6ix9ine, prompting him to flee to his luxury vehicle.

According to a police report, the couple were escorted outside the upscale eatery and almost immediately became engaged in a verbal altercation. Witnesses on the scene told responding officers that they saw Jade strike her boyfriend and that she grabbed at his chain inside the venue. When asked by authorities what happened, Tekashi stated that Jade hit him. He also had visible injuries on his face, the report said.

Jade was arrested in connection with the altercation and jailed in Miami-Dade County on a battery charge related to domestic violence. She was being held on $1,500.

“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,” Tekashi told TMZ. “I’m the one trying to bail her out.”

Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, in recent years nabbed national headlines for testifying in a series of murder trials against members of his own gang as part of a plea deal. The couple have been together nearly four years.
