Cops Raid Lil Wayne’s Miami Mansion & Seize Millions in Assets for Civil Suit

Lil Wayne might have woken up to some bare walls this morning after police raided his Miami Beach mansion Tuesday and carted off millions in assets to settle a civil suit with a private jet company. Helicopters from WSVN and Local 10 captured footage of police carrying wrapped items from the house that looked like artwork and were then loaded into a large truck.

Judge Lisa S. Walsh issued the court order after Lil Wayne, aka Dwayne Carter, Jr., failed to pay  $2 million in unpaid bills and court fees that she had awarded to the Miami-based Signature Group last month. Signature Group had initially sued Lil Wayne after he stopped paying his $55,000-a-month lease on a Gulfstream II twin engine business jet.

According to the Miami Times, last month the jet company asked Walsh to authorize a “break order,” that would effectively give them the right to bust into Wayne’s crib to seize his assets–with or without his permission. It’s unclear what items were taken during the raid, and whether or not police had to enter the home by force.

Allegedly while inside Lil Wayne’s home, cops uncovered an impressive $30 million art collection, which they took several pieces from. They also reportedly seized several plaques from his home.

If you’ve been keeping track, this isn’t the first time his Miami mansion has made headlines. In March police swarmed his property in response to reports that four people had been shot inside. But it turned out to be a case of “swatting,” which is when pranksters call 911 with fake emergencies in hopes that a SWAT team will be dispatched to the residence.

Weezy probably wishes that this recent raid was one big hoax. Maybe then some of his prized possessions would still be safe inside his home.
