Tekashi 6ix9ine might be in the news for some questionable reasons, but his legacy is quite valuable. Recently, some of the rapper’s confiscated jewelry and music awards were sold at an auction in South Florida, reaching astonishing prices after being taken by the IRS for unpaid taxes. Jacob Kodner, who helps run the auction house, shared that the turnout was incredible. “We saw major buyers acquiring multiple pieces, whether it was several plaques or a combination of luxury items,” Kodner explained. “This wasn’t merely fan-driven, it was a serious auction for high end collectors.”

The results speak for themselves, as over 90 percent of the items sold for more than expected, indicating that Tekashi still has a strong presence in the collector’s market. Some standout items were his platinum music awards, which celebrate important moments in his career. For instance, his popular 2018 song “BEBE” was sold for an impressive $24,320, while the award for his breakout hit “Gummo” went for a remarkable $18,240. “Collectors and fans alike recognized these plaques as irreplaceable pieces of music history. Buyers weren’t just investing in memorabilia, they were investing in legacy. Each award represents a significant moment in music history, and we believe that’s what drove these impressive prices.” Kodner explained.

The auction also featured some of Tekashi’s luxurious accessories, which fetched high prices. A fancy Hermès Birkin bag sold for an eye-popping $23,680, and a Cartier Santos watch went for $22,080. It was clear that people were eager to own a piece of his extravagant lifestyle, even amidst his controversies. This auction highlighted the lasting impact of Tekashi 6ix9ine’s rise in the music world. Whether people love or dislike him, there’s no denying that his influence still holds weight.
