6ix9ine’s jewellery is up for auction after being seized
6ix9ine‘s jewellery is being auctioned after being seized by the IRS last year. The Brooklyn rapper had cars and other personal items taken from his home in Lake Worth, Florida, in April 2024 following local police raiding his property.
63 items, including gold and platinum plaques, are being sold across online auction sites. Bidding will begin on March 5th, and the total value is estimated to be hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Some of the items in the auction include a “Bruce the Shark” chain, which is expected to go for $100,000-$200,000, and a “Billy the Puppet” Jigsaw pendant, a diamond necklace that seems to have belonged to his ex-partner, Yailín la Más Viral. Not only that, but gold and platinum plaques for his albums and songs, including Day 69, Dummy Boy, ‘Gooba’, ‘Kika’ and ‘Stoopid’, are also being sold.
6ix9ine wasn’t at home during the raid, reportedly down to “nonpayment of internal revenue taxes,” due to spending time in the Dominican Republic. In a recent post to his Instagram Stories, he wrote, “1 year ago when I was stuck in [the Dominican Republic] the feds made a raid for the entire house because I did not report my income for 4 years.”
He continued, “And for them, it was seen how I was running and hiding in DR when the reality was that I could not leave and get back to the USA. If you don’t live like this without renting you shouldn’t have an opinion.”
6ix9ine claimed that the confiscation of his jewellery was because he posted a video of a safe full of cash. “This was the reason the Feds did the raid,” he said. “They broke into this safe thinking there was money in there but it was only the jewellery.”
In January 2024, Dominican Republic authorities arrested 6ix9ine on charges of domestic violence after being accused of assaulting a local music producer, having recorded at his studio with Yailín la Más Viral, who was his partner at the time.
6ix9ine released his last studio album Leyenda Viva in June 2023. More recently, he dropped his Blackballed EP in January 2024, consisting of nine songs with an appearance from Kodak Black on ‘Shaka Laka’.
