IRS agents collected the unique vehicles from the embattled 27-year-old rapper's - whose legal name is Daniel Hernandez - home in Lake Worth, Florida in April.
Images from the seizure show a paper 'Warning' label appended to a windshield that said the car had been part of a 'United States Government Seizure' for 'nonpayment of internal revenue taxes.' One of the cars, a 2019 Lamborghini Urus, was auctioned off by the federal government for $175,043 on Tuesday. The blue Lambo has a custom paint job designed to make it look as if it had been splattered by multicolored paintballs.

Hernandez's second car, a 2017 Bentley Continental GT Speed, sold for $85,000 at auction. The green sports car has the same splatter paint look and 38,803 miles on it.
According to the auctions website, the vehicle's windshield and both side windows have damage and need to be replaced, and the convertible top has tears in it and would need to be replaced. Hernandez's IRS issues are just the latest in a long string of legal issues for the troubled rapper. In January, while spending time in the Dominican Republic, Hernandez was arrested on domestic violence charges.

However, after a week behind bars he was released when his girlfriend, whose real name is Georgina Guillermo, claimed that Hernandez had never physically assaulted her. As of late January, Hernandez was barred from leaving the Dominican Republic without permission from a judge, and he is required to check in with the court every two months.
Back in October, the rapper was also arrested for allegedly assaulting local music producers Cristian Rojas and Nelson Hilario at a hotel. Prior to his legal issues abroad, the rapper was arrested in 2018 for racketeering, along with weapons and drug charges. He could have been put behind bars for up to 47 years if he was convicted on all counts.

In exchange, he agreed to testify against members of the Nine Trey Gangsters, which outraged several other rap stars with a 'no snitching' mindset. As the coronavirus pandemic soared in April of 2020, the rapper was granted early leave from prison and instead was transferred to house arrest, as he successfully argued that his asthma put him at sever risk of complications from the disease if he remained in a crowded prison environment.
His sentence was completed in August of that year. One of his earlier, and most scandalous, legal run-ins came in 2015, when Hernandez entered a guilty plea on a charge of use of a child in a sexual performance. He was sentenced to four years of probation.
