Key auction items include:

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

The items were seized during an IRS raid of 6ix9ine's Florida home in April 2023 due to alleged nonpayment of taxes over four years. The rapper recently confirmed the raid on Instagram, explaining he was unable to leave the Dominican Republic at the time. He mentioned that a video he posted showing a safe full of jewelry (not cash) prompted the raid.

Separately, 6ix9ine is currently pursuing legal action against LA Fitness, seeking over $1 million in damages following an attack at one of their Florida locations in 2023. The lawsuit cites inadequate security measures as the basis for the claim.
