The move is a testament to the artist’s appreciation for hip-hop’s legacy

A recent social media post from Drake has sent the music world into a frenzy, sparking speculation that he has purchased one of hip-hop’s most iconic pieces of jewelry: 2Pac‘s Death Row Records chain. The rumor began circulating after Drake posted a photo to his Instagram, showing a close up shot 2Pac’s legendary chain off the album All Eyez On Me, which features “All eyez on YOU 1996” on the back of the pendant.

The post featured the caption, “COPENHAGEN NIGHT ONE LESSSGO,” but made no mention of 2Pac, letting the images speak for themselves. This isn’t the first time Drake has paid homage to a hip-hop legend with a high-profile purchase. He previously bought the gold and ruby crown ring famously worn by 2Pac, for over $1 million USD in 2023 at a Sotheby’s auction. The ring became the center of Drake and Kendrick Lamar‘s beef when the Compton rapper changed the lyrics of his diss track “Euphoria,” to call out the 6God, “Give me 2Pac ring back and I might give you a little respect.”

The original chain was first seen in photos of Tupac in the 1990s. The chain, which is a rare piece of hip-hop history, has not been seen in the public eye for many years. Drake’s recent post could be a new acquisition or a replica, as his post was a teaser with no further details.
