Rapper 6ix9ine was robbed in Brooklyn early Sunday by a pair of gun-toting jewelry thieves, he told police.

The hip-hop star – whose single “FEFE” with Nicki Minaj came out the same day – told cops he was a passenger in a vehicle when two men with firearms approached the car at Atlantic and Bedford Aves. about 4:30 a.m.

The 22-year-old rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was robbed of his cell phone, pulled into the back seat of a dark-colored sedan and then driven to an unknown location, police said.

At that location, the men asked 6ix9ine, who also goes by Tekashi69, to call a person inside the location. according to the account given to police. The robbers then demanded jewelry, according to the account.

Once they were given the jewelry, the two men left the scene, leaving the rapper behind. He then walked to the 79th Precinct stationhou­se in Bedford-Stuyvesant and reported the robbery.

Cops said he later became uncooperat­ive.

There have been no arrests yet and the investigat­ion is ongoing.
