6ix9ine’s Jewelry & Platinum Plaques Seized by IRS; Soon-To-Be Auctioned Off
The glitz and controversy surrounding 6ix9ine has taken another dramatic turn. The IRS will soon auction-off the rapper’s extensive collection of jewelry and music accolades. Market Auctions, hired by the IRS, has put 63 of the artist’s prized possessions up for sale, with bids opening on March 5th. In fact, the collection, estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, serves as both a display of excess and a stark reminder of financial mismanagement in the music industry.
Among the standout pieces are the infamous “Bruce the Shark” chain, designed by Houston jeweler Jimmy Phan, which is expected to fetch between $100,000 and $200,000. Other notable items include the eerie “Billy the Puppet” Jigsaw pendant and a diamond necklace allegedly once owned by his former girlfriend, Yailín la Más Viral.
Gold and Platinum plaques commemorating 6ix9ine’s hit projects, including “Day 69,” “Dummy Boy,” and chart-toppers like “Gooba,” “Kika,” and “Stoopid,” are also up for grabs—turning pieces of rap history into collector’s items.

The IRS Crackdown: A Fall From Financial Grace
The auction follows the IRS’s raid on 6ix9ine’s Florida home in April 2023, stemming from alleged “nonpayment of internal revenue taxes.” The controversial rapper later confirmed the government’s actions in an Instagram story. Revealing that his four-year lapse in tax filings led to the confiscation of his assets. He also implied that a viral video showcasing a safe full of cash may have triggered the raid. However, the safe reportedly contained only jewelry. Now being liquidated to settle his debts.
Legal Battles Continue For 6ix9ine
As his prized possessions go under the hammer, Tekashi is also engaged in a separate legal battle. In January, the Brooklyn-born rapper filed a lawsuit against LA Fitness. Seeking over $1 million in damages following a brutal attack at one of their Florida locations in 2023. The lawsuit accuses the fitness chain of negligence. Citing a lack of security measures and a failure to call law enforcement in a timely manner. He claims the assault led to physical injuries, emotional distress, medical expenses, and loss of income.
For 6ix9ine, the auction marks a dramatic turning point in his rollercoaster career. One that oscillates between viral success and legal turmoil. His jewelry and music plaques, once symbols of success, are now cautionary relics of the consequences that come with financial oversight and controversy.
As the auction date approaches, Hip-Hop fans, collectors, and opportunistic bidders will have the chance to own a piece of his turbulent legacy. Nonetheless, the bigger question remains. Will 6ix9ine turn this moment into a lesson learned, or is this just another chapter in his unpredictable saga?
