6ix9ine has seen his legal woes worsen as a number of his luxury cars have been seized by the IRS from his Florida home.
The custom vehicles, which include a Bentley, were taken as part of an operation conducted by the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday (April 17) in assistance of the Internal Revenue Service.

According to TMZ, the rapper was not home at the time of the raid, during which the IRS seized multiple items of property in addition to the vehicles.
One of the cars seized was a custom Bentley that had several bullet holes in its windows, as seen in video footage of the seizure that surfaced online.

The IRS has not confirmed an investigation or why 6ix9ine’s property was seized, but it is likely to be tax related.
Of the raid, the rapper’s attorney said: “We are assessing the situation and will issue a statement at the appropriate time.”
6ix9ine, who is currently living in the Dominican Republic, has faced legal problems out there also.
The Brooklyn native was recently released on bond after being arrested for domestic assault against his girlfriend Yailín la Más Viral.

The claims of violence were brought by her mother, Wanda Diaz, but Yailín has denied anything took place. Diaz did not attend the proceedings to share her side, however, because she was allegedly ill from a cosmetic surgery complication.
6ix9ine was released on a bond of $507. The judge overseeing the case reportedly found that the evidence brought forward by prosecutors was not enough to keep him due to Yailín’s lack of cooperation.
6ix9ine and Viral have had a tumultuous relationship, with her previously being arrested for felony assault after footage emerged of her hitting the rapper.
Footage from 6ix9ine’s Instagram seemed to capture the argument in real-time. The post began with 6ix9ine writing — in Spanish — that “Yailin needs help,” and that he was remaining quiet about the whole situation until he could no longer do so for her protection.

Later in the video, the pair can be seen arguing extensively, and at one point, Yailin uses a 2 x 6 to smash 6ix9ine’s phone out of his hand.
The pair can also be seen tussling with one another before Yailin is carted off to jail.
