Tekashi 6ix9ine is dealing with a terrifying situation after armed intruders stormed his South Florida home late Sunday night, according to TMZ and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. The incident unfolded on November 17, leaving the rapper’s mother shaken and sparking an active criminal investigation.
Authorities say four masked men carrying handguns forced their way onto the property while the rapper — born Daniel Hernandez — was away. His 60-year-old mother was outside the residence when the gunmen confronted her, restrained her, and demanded access to valuables while others broke into the house.
Inside, the intruders reportedly overturned furniture and searched aggressively for cash and car keys. Multiple people inside the residence called 911 as the invasion unfolded, describing a coordinated and frightening attack.

Tekashi found out about the break-in in real time. He was livestreaming with influencer Jack Doherty when his team interrupted to tell him what was happening.

Suspects Fled Before Deputies Arrived
Deputies rushed to the home and cleared the property using a K-9 unit but found no suspects. Investigators believe the men escaped in a waiting vehicle before officers arrived. No arrests have been made, and detectives have not determined whether the rapper was specifically targeted due to his high-profile lifestyle, legal issues, or online activity.

Family Shaken But Physically Unharmed
While Tekashi’s mother was not physically injured, deputies say she remains deeply shaken by the confrontation. The rapper is expected to reinforce security at the property in the coming days. Surveillance footage and forensic evidence are now being analyzed as investigators search for leads.
For Tekashi 6ix9ine, this attack marks one of the most concerning threats to his personal safety — one that underscores how dangerous the spotlight can be, especially when a celebrity’s location and routine are regularly broadcast online.
