Police arrived at rapper Lil Wayne's Miami Beach mansion on Tuesday to seize property in a lawsuit-related raid. The raid took place in order to satisfy a judgment involving private jets against the 33-year-old rapper, according to TMZ.
Apparently, Lil Wayne had not paid his $2 million bill to the jet leasing company Signature Group and also owed them $200,000 in lawyer fees.
When the police arrived at the mansion, his security refused to let them in. They eventually had to obtain a court order to allow them to break the locks of the house and all the doors if need be so they could confiscate sizable assets.
Signature Group asked Judge Lisa S. Walsh back in September to authorize a "break order," which gave them the right to raid his house, with or without his permission, and obtain the assets, according to Miami New Times. Their request was initially denied, but once they were able to obtain photos to prove that Lil Wayne did have assets inside the mansion, the judge was able to sign a new order on Friday to authorize the break and allow them to seize $2 million in assets from the home.
"The rehearing motion included an affidavit from a real estate agent who had recently been inside the defendant's home and attested that there were assets inside," the lawsuit said.
Police ended up walking out of the home with dollies full of items. They took plaques and pieces from his $30 million art collection.
Antar Vaughan, who is Lil Wayne's attorney for the case, has not yet responded.
