The auction, managed by Market Auctions, features 63 items including:

  • "Bruce the Shark" chain (estimated value: $100,000-$200,000)
  • "Billy the Puppet" diamond pendant
  • Rainbow grill
  • Multiple chains and rings
  • Gold and Platinum plaques for albums including "Kika," "Gooba," Dummy Boy, and Day 69

The items were seized during an IRS raid on 6ix9ine's Florida home in April 2023 due to unpaid taxes over four years. The rapper recently confirmed the raid on Instagram, explaining that a video he posted showing a safe full of jewelry triggered the IRS investigation. At the time, he was unable to return to the US from the Dominican Republic.

Bidding opens March 5 across multiple online auction platforms.

In related news, 6ix9ine is currently pursuing legal action against LA Fitness, seeking over $1 million in damages following a 2023 assault at one of their Florida locations. The lawsuit cites inadequate security as the primary cause for the incident.
