Ariella La Langosta, a Dominican-born influencer and bartender, tragically passed away on August 17, 2025, at the age of 29. She was known as Tekashi 6ix9ine’s girlfriend. Known for her vibrant personality and dance content, Ariella had amassed a significant following on Instagram, with over 550,000 followers. She was also a beloved figure at IKON New York, a lounge in Manhattan’s Inwood neighborhood, where she worked as a bartender. The lounge paid tribute to her, describing her as “always an amazing person, full of kindness” and a “working star”.
Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, who was reportedly with Ariella at the time of the incident, confirmed her passing on social media. He shared heartfelt tributes, describing her as having “the most beautiful heart” and expressing deep sorrow over the loss.
While initial reports suggested that Ariella was shot while returning from work, possibly in an attack targeting 6ix9ine, these details have not been officially confirmed by authorities or her family. The New York Police Department is treating her death as suspicious and has launched an investigation.
Tekashi 6ix9ine, born Daniel Hernandez on May 8, 1996, in Brooklyn, New York, is an American rapper best known for his viral hit “Gummo” (2017) and chart-topping single “Fefe” featuring Nicki Minaj. Recognized for his rainbow-colored hair, tattoos, and aggressive rap style, he quickly rose to fame but became equally notorious for his legal troubles; in 2019, he was sentenced for racketeering and gang activity before being released early in 2020 after cooperating with authorities, earning him the controversial label of a “snitch.” Despite his polarizing reputation, 6ix9ine remains active in music and social media, continuing to attract both massive attention and criticism worldwide.
