Drake Buys Tupac Shakur’s Ring For $1 Million
The Hip-Hop industry is an ever-evolving and mutating industry with the culture of rap music going worldwide and blending in with different cultures to become something new entirely. And leading the charts with his unique mixture of RnB and Hip-Hop isDrake, who has now become a global sensation in the music industry in general. Therefore, through his talents and exceptional artistry over his beats, he has managed to amass a net worth of more than $250 Million, which he has recently put to good use.
In a recent auction hosted by Sotheby, which is one of the biggest brokers of collectibles and decorative jewelry in the world, the ring that Hip-Hop legendTupac Shakurwore during his final performance on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1996 before his assassination in the same year was put for sale to the highest bidder. This auction was hosted in honor of the birth of the Hip-Hop music culture on its 50th anniversary.
The sale was stated to put the ring for bidding and was expected to be worth $200,000 when it would exchange hands from the auction to the bidder. But to everyone’s shock and surprise, theHotline Blingsinger went on and single-handedly won the bids and bought the iconic piece of jewelry for a whopping $1 Million, paying five times more to own the ring that one of the greatest Rap artists adorned on his finger before his untimely demise. Later, the Canadian artist also posted a story on his Instagram page highlighting his latest purchase.
Apart from being an important part of history, the ring itself was crafted from precious stones like diamonds and rubies on top of being made of gold. Along with that, Tupac himself was the one who helped in the designing of the jewelry, which makes it that much more special and valuable.
What Is Next For Drake?
While the artist may have dropped a lot of money on a valuable piece of history, it’s nothing compared to how much he’s valued, which can clearly be seen from the sold-out venues he regularly performs at. In his recent show on hisIt’s All a Blur Tourat Madison Square Garden, he announced that he will be dropping a brand new album very soon in the future, which will add to the singer’s popularity even more.
