Tekashi 6ix9ine has spoken out after four gunmen stormed his mother's home and held her at gunpoint in a shocking incident late on Sunday night (November 16).
The rapper's mother, Natividad Perez-Hernandez, 60, saw gunmen storm into her home at some time on Sunday evening before 10pm, when local Florida police received a call about an ongoing robbery and dispatched a squad of police officers.
A Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson told the Sun Sentinel that the four intruders forced their way into her home, where they pointed a weapon at Perez-Hernandez while ransacking her home in search of any valuable goods.
Perez-Hernandez was then reportedly restrained by one of the men outside of the home, who demanded any information on the location of cash and keys.

However, when Palm Beach officers arrived at the scene, the thieves had fled, with police telling The Independent they may have escaped in a waiting vehicle.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office also confirmed that miscellaneous items were taken from the property, but no vehicles had been stolen. A K9 unit searched the house but was unable to track the intruders.
6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, had been sentenced to several months of house arrest at his mother's address earlier this month after admitting to drug and assault charges, according to Complex.
However, he wasn't at the house when the break-in occurred, as he was livestreaming with YouTuber Jack Doherty, who had been arrested this weekend in Miami on alleged drug possession charges.
In the livestream, Doherty could be seen reacting to the home invasion as Hernandez raced home, as he said: "We were livestreaming with [Hernandez] and in the middle of it, apparently he got robbed, so now there’s like a bunch of cops at his house."
Hernandez has since responded to the incident over on his Instagram Stories, where he described the attack on his mom as being 'cowardly'.
He also claimed it was a deliberate attempt to take advantage of him being away from the residence.
The rapper said: "I'm on house arrest. The world know that. You guys waited till I was on live stream outside of my house to do that.
"Yesterday, they let me leave for work. People saw I was on livestream… they took that opportunity to do some cowardly s***."
"My mom is 60 years old," he further blasted. "Y’all know I’m supposed to be home. Y’all saw me in Miami and did that. Nobody respects that."
