Federal agents recently swooped down on his Florida residence, seizing cars and other items, according to reports.
IRS' operation at Tekashi ‘6ix9ine’ residence
The Palm Beach Sheriff’s said teams were dispatched to Tekashi’s Lake Worth, Florida, home on Wednesday, April 17, to assist IRS agents conducting an operation, according to TMZ.
The Sheriff’s office did not provide details about the operation to the publication, which noted some “pretty clear clues.”
The magazine reported that Tekashi was not at home during the operation and it was evident that “agents were there to seize his stuff.”
Eyewitnesses told the publication that “these agents ended up confiscating multiple items from Tekashi’s house.”
Furthermore, several of his cars were reportedly hauled off. The involvement of the IRS led the publication to presume that the operation is likely “tax-related.”
Tekashi ‘6ix9ine’ troubles extend beyond US borders
Tekashi is already grappling with legal problems in the Dominican Republic where he has been spending a significant amount of time recently.
He was arrested in the Dominican Republic in January for a domestic violence incident involving his girlfriend, reggae singer Yailin la Mas Viral.
Tekashi was accused of “physical and psychological violence against” Yailin, leading the police to take him to the Palace of Justice in the DR’s capital city.
The rapper was later released but ordered to pay a $510 deposit, undergo government counseling, and meet with authorities every two months until they conclude their investigation into allegations that he assaulted his girlfriend, according to US Sun.
