6ix9ine‘s jewelry and Gold and Platinum plaques are being auctioned off after being taken by the IRS last year.
The collection of 63 items can be found on several online auction sites, and bidding is scheduled to begin on March 5. The total collection’s value is estimated at hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Among the items included are the rapper’s “Bruce the Shark” chain, created by Houston jeweler Jimmy Phan and expected to go for between $100,000-$200,000; his “Billy the Puppet” Jigsaw pendant; a diamond necklace that appears to have belonged to former girlfriend Yailín la Más Viral; and Gold and Platinum plaques for 6ix9ine albums and songs including Day 69, Dummy Boy, “Gooba,” “Kika,” and “Stoopid.”
The IRS raided the controversial rapper’s Florida home in April of last year, claiming “nonpayment of internal revenue taxes.”

6ix9ine himself seemed to confirm this in a recent post to his Instagram story, which also showed his Florida property.
“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 wrote.

“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.”
He also claimed that a video he posted of a safe full of cash led to the confiscation of his jewelry.
“This was the reason the Feds did the raid,” he said of the video. “They broke into this safe thinking there was money in there but it was only the jewelry.”
In other 6ix9ine legal news, last month the rapper filed a lawsuit against LA Fitness, where he was the recipient of a brutal beatdown at one of their Florida locations back in 2023.
TMZ obtained documents from the suit on January 17, revealing the “GUMMO” rapper is seeking over $1 million in damages for what he says was “failing to provide adequate security” to prevent the attack.

In his suit, 6ix9ine alleges the staff wasn’t “properly educated or informed” on security protocols and failed to call the police as soon as they were aware of what was happening.
The requested number is for pain and suffering that included both physical ailments and humiliation, medical expenses, loss of income and diminished quality of life.
