Police Discover Lil Wayne's Reported $30M Art Collection In Raid

Lil Wayne has seen his fair share of legal troubles recently, but none seem to have unearthed a discovery as big as his latest. Police recently raided his Miami Beach mansion Tuesday after a judgement was issued against the No Ceilings rapper in a case against a private jet company. When the police completed their raid, they reportedly found a whopping $30 million art collection inside of Weezy's home.

The dispute began when Lil Wayne was sued by a private jet company, Signature Group, over an unpaid $55,000 per month lease for a Gulfstream II jet. After some wrangling in court, the Signature Group won a $2 million settlement against Lil Wayne. The group obtained a court order on Oct. 30 according to Artnet, allowing authorities to enter Wayne's home and confiscate some his assets to collect their $2 million. The police were accompanied by an evaluator to determine what to seize.

According to TMZ, cops were seen leaving the property with some of the pieces, loaded them into a truck and drove off with them. It isn't clear what pieces they took or what Wayne has in his art collection that would have it valued at $30 million.

Deputies also seized several plaques of Wayne's, though it isn't known which of the many plaques he has acquired over the years were taken.

It has been a tumultuous year on and off the stage. Tha Carter V remains embroiled in Wayne's protracted lawsuit against Cash Money Records, but that has not stopped him from releasing new music. He released two mixtapes, Sorry For The Wait 2 and Free Weezy, with No Ceilings 2 coming on Thanksgiving.
