Miami police raided rapper Lil Wayne's mansion today (November 3), reportedly seizing millions of dollars worth of art and assets in accordance to a judge's order.
Miami's WSVN News [via Billboard] were on the scene, reporting that civil processing units arrived at Lil Wayne's house and began to take away the rapper's property. This apparently included "wrapped artwork," which was loaded into a large truck. An unknown source told TMZ that the total of value of assets seized by the Miami-Dade County Sheriff's deputies is roughly $30 million US.
It's further alleged that the seizure is related to an October ruling where Lil Wayne was found to owe $2 million to jet leasing company Signature Group over missed payments. He also owes the company $200,000 in legal fees. At the time, a Miami-Dade County judge had denied the company the right to have officers seize any of Wayne's property.
Lil Wayne has not yet commented on today's police seizure.
Earlier in the week, Lil Wayne announced that his No Ceilings 2 mixtape will be issued November 26.
