The Internal Revenue Service of the United States (IRS) auctioned more than 40 items owned by Tekashi 6ix9ine valued in the thousands of dollars to settle his tax debts in that country.
Among the items are various pieces such as chains, charms, watches, and rings that the rapper wore in music productions.
Among the items for auction is a necklace from her ex-partner Yailin La Más Viral with her name, priced at 27 thousand dollars, and some luxury brand bags such as Hermès, Givenchy, and Balenciaga.
In his Instagram stories, the rapper explained the conditions under which these goods were confiscated from him.
"One year ago, when I was stuck in the Dominican Republic for eight months, the federal authorities raided my entire house because I did not report my income for four years, I hid it, and to them, it looked like I was running and hiding in the Dominican Republic when in reality, I could not leave and get to the USA," the rapper wrote in one of his stories.
Tekashi showcased in that ephemeral section the safe where they found the items: “This was the reason why the federal agents conducted the raid. They broke into this safe thinking there was dirty money, but it was just the jewelry.”
