Lil Wayne's Miami Beach mansion has been raided by police who have removed objects to satisfy a $2 million debt he owes a jet company.
The 33-year-old rapper's home was stormed by police on Tuesday who seized assets as he had failed to pay a $2 million judgement to an jet leasing company, Signature Group, as well as a further $200,000 of legal fees.
During the raid, cops seized pieces from Wayne’s $30 million art collection. Reacting to the raid, Dwayne Michael Carter Jr, who was out of town at that time said "It's days like 2day dat make me? Everything, even myself but I guess dis is da thx I get," he wrote on twitter "Sum times it's tough 2b tough & even tougher 2b me." The police raid made him reflect on his fame and. "I ain't shit but my mother, my kids & their mothers r EVERYTHING & dat I know, so on the days? everything, I use dat as the answer 2 it all."
In helicopter footage of his sprawling estate, authorities can be seen removing items and placing them into a lorry with several of his sales plaques being taken. According to sources, an expert was taken into his home to value items worth seizing to satisfy the debt.
Wayne - who served eight months in prison in 2010 for criminal possession of a weapon and marijuana - was not at home during the raid and is believed to be in Los Angeles, where he was seen at a strip club on Monday. And although his security team attempted to prevent police from entering the home, a court order stated Miami-Dade County Sheriff's deputies should break the locks to get in if necessary.
