A video has emerged of Drake trying on his new chain and it’s the kind of thing that a pirate’s dreams are made of.
The chain, made by jeweler to the stars Ben Baller, was delivered to Drake in Manchester as he continues his tour of the United Kingdom, and the Canadian rapper looked bloody well chuffed with the new piece, as the Brits would say.
According to TMZ, the chain is made from almost a kilo of gold and is adorned with black, green and yellow diamonds. The video that Ben Baller shared to his Instagram shows the chain sparkling as it’s removed from its packaging. It didn’t come cheap, though, TMZ has reported that the chain cost around $100,000.
Baller also shared some reflections on his history with Drizzy.
“I met @champagnepapi at the Apple Store in the Beverly center in 2008. From that day on I fucked with The Boy heavy. I was picking him up from the airport, getting him cars, trees and showing him my city like a real big homie does. #SoFarGone dropped and shit hit the fan. Then #ThankMeLater, then #TakeCare and He would take me on tour to be apart of the show giving out chains to random girls in the audience. One time at a sold out show in San Jose, Drake forgot where we were because he screamed out ‘LA what’s good???!!!!'”
“And that Bay Area crowd boo’d ?LOUD?. It felt like that southwest commercial, Wanna get away? I back stepped off that stage dumb fast ? In 2012 I started my family and he became the biggest superstar in the ? and we lost communication… So 9 years later were here in Manchester U.K. to finally have our full circle moment. More life and more jewels to come bro.”
Drake shared some shots of him in the chain, as well as a CeeLo at the Grammys-inspired meme.
Cool news man, this had had such an impact on my day. Life changing shit right here
LMAO Im dead
Meek’s D.C chain cost 4x the price of drake’s new chain #Fakts #DC
Drizzy got way more money than Meeka.
Probably did cost more but those bedazzled chains usually go 99% off when you’re broke. Drake’s chain just looks like solid gold and not made from 20000worthless diamonds mounted on mostly tin.

another rapper wearing an expensive chain, wow didnt saw that one coming!
He pushin that accent hard lol
I can’t respect this. So many people with nothing! Tupac shaking his head!
it’s disgusting, honestly.
more than half the country is poor (earning equal or less than $50K a year) and these dudes are out here flaunting their opulence like we’re supposed to congratulate them for it. Fuck that.
spend your money how you want it but keep that shit to yourself.
Tupac is a joke. He wrote shit lyrics and tryed to be flashy gangster too. He was the kayne or drake of the 90s.
He should do something really NEW and write his own raps.
Music industry similar to a plantation. Rappers/slaves in chains.
Well, we’re all slaves to something. In that case I’d rather be a rapper so my chains are more expensive and I can fuck better bitches more frequently.
Chaining Tatum…
J cole laughing at this dude right now.
Fake Drake is compensating for Losing the biggest Album Categories at the Grammys, Best Rap Album and Album of the Year…Fake Drake starting off the year with one of the Biggest L’s of his Career…Losing Album Category Grammys for the biggest album of his career. LOL #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK #THE 6FRAUD WITH VIEWS FROM A BITCH
Welp, I make more than that in a year so I guess I’m in the minority…Pun intended:_
Drake is trying to be black.
Somhairle Cinnsealach—–The absolute worst to ever do it hands down
Any man that is proud to wear a necklace is gay.
You know he wanted a buck black dick pendant… closet homosexual ass drake… Lietrally a fake nigga.
You know this makes you a suspect, right? Maybe u need to come out of the closet.
Don’t add up.. A kilo of gold (1000 grams) at over 2k a gram plus the diamonds would cost way more just in raw materials
