Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, popular for his controversial lifestyle, has again found himself in hot waters. His legal troubles have escalated as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) seized several of his luxury cars from his Florida home.
The operation, conducted by the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office with assistance from the IRS, took place on Wednesday, April 17, 2024.
According to TMZ, the rapper was not at home during the raid, which resulted in the seizure of multiple items of property, including a custom Bentley riddled with bullet holes.
The IRS has yet to confirm the reason for the seizure or whether an investigation is underway, but it is speculated to be tax-related.
