One of Meek Mill’s artists was dealt a bad hand after getting lucky and escaping a scary car accident with his life recently.
On Friday (April 23), North Florida rapper TAFIA was arrested and accused of organizing a wire fraud. The 31-year old appeared in court on Friday, facing accusations of a complicated fraudulent transfer of money using Walmart’s wire transfer services. The fraudulent transfer allegedly totaled more than $360,000. TAFIA was also charged with grand theft and possession of a firearm.
TAFIA’s arrest comes a week after being involved in a terrifying car accident that nearly took his life. Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Alex Camacho said at around 3:00 a.m. on April 15, TAFIA’s vehicle collided with a tractor-trailer causing it to lose control and crash into a concrete barrier wall. The crash force caused about 100 gallons of fuel to spill onto the roadway, causing the tractor-trailer to burst into flames. TAFIA and the driver of the tractor-trailer escaped with only minor injuries.
According to TAFIA, another vehicle cut him off, causing him to turn right. When that happened, the driver of the tractor-trailer didn’t see him and turned right also, causing the accident to occur. Although he was treated at the scene, TAFIA went to the hospital soon after.
