TMZ reports on Monday morning (Nov. 17) that Bronx rap star Tekashi 6ix9ine’s South Florida home was at the center of a scary home invasion.

The active criminal investigation began late Sunday after four armed intruders forced their way inside and confronted the rapper’s mother, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies say the men, masked and carrying handguns, stormed the property while the rapper was away and fled before officers arrived.

The rapper’s 60-year-old mother was alone in the residence when the gunmen confronted her outside the home. Investigators say she was restrained while the others entered and searched the property, overturning furniture and demanding access to cash and car keys. Several people inside the residence contacted law enforcement as the break-in unfolded, describing a coordinated and aggressive attack that left the family shaken.

6ix9ine, born Daniel Hernandez, said he learned about the invasion while livestreaming with influencer Jack Doherty. The moment his team alerted him was captured on video, adding to the growing public attention surrounding the case. Doherty had been arrested the day prior on unrelated drug and misdemeanor charges, amplifying the weekend’s turbulence.
