The girlfriend of Brooklyn rapper-turned-snitch Tekashi 6ix9ine was arrested for repeatedly punching him in the face Monday at a celebrity hotspot in Miami, according to police records.

Rachel Wattley, 25, allegedly yanked on the rainbow-haired rhymer's chain inside posh Greek restaurant and nightclub Kiki on the River and then socked him in the face repeatedly before staff escorted them outside a little after midnight, according to a police report.

An officer saw Wattley and Tekashi, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, arguing outside and noticed a mark on his face, the report says. 

Tekashi told the officer that his girlfriend of three years, with whom he shares a daughter, hit him in the face, the arrest affidavit says.

The "Gooba" rapper, who has performed with Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, left the scene and refused to  cooperate with authorities. 

Wattley, who goes by Jade on social media, was arrested and later released on a $1,500 bond. She's set to be arraigned Sept. 19 on one count of misdemeanor battery, court records show.
