Tekashi 6ix9ine: Jewellery and personal items auctioned off over unpaid taxes, with pendant exceeding $63,000

Among the most expensive items up for auction are a diamond-encrusted “Bruce the Shark” pendant, which has already received bids exceeding $63,000, a spinner shark chain, currently at $45,500, and a "water" pendant, with bids reaching $36,000.

The Inland Revenue Service (IRS) seized these assets from the 28-year-old, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, in April 2024 after raiding his Lake Worth, Florida home due to unpaid tax liabilities. The agency frequently conducts such auctions when individuals fail to resolve their tax debts, using proceeds from the sales to cover outstanding balances.

Hot New Hip-Hop reported that Tekashi 6ix9ine was released from prison on December 12, 2023, after serving time for violating the terms of his parole. His parole violation stemmed from his conviction in the RICO case against the Nine Trey Bloods gang, for which he was sentenced to two years in prison in 2020. Following his latest release, he has been placed under an additional year of probation and electronic monitoring.

The rapper has also been involved in several other legal disputes. His criminal history dates back to 2015, when he pleaded guilty to charges related to a child sex video, receiving four years probation, according to Rolling Stone. Additional incidents include multiple assault charges and a 2021 lawsuit in which a woman accused him of throwing a champagne bottle at her in a Miami strip club. In 2023, after failing to appear in court, a jury awarded the complainant nearly $10 million in damages.
