Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine's luxury sports cars are allegedly seized by IRS agents ... trends now
Tekashi 6ix9ine appears to have gotten a surprise visit from Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents looking to collect on Wednesday.
Agents were dispatched to the embattled 27-year-old rapper's home in Lake Worth, Florida, and the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office told TMZ that officers assisted the agents during the operation.
Law enforcement didn't comment further on details of the operation, but photos and video obtained by the publication suggested that IRS agents were removing several items from the home.
Multiple cars belonging to the rapper (real name: Daniel Hernandez) were also removed from the property, eyewitnesses said, though he was not there following a domestic violence arrest in the Dominican Republic in January.
DailyMail. com has reached out to a representative for Hernandez for comment.
