Drake likes to fall in love, get tattoos and buy stuff. Frequently, those things crossover. For instance, Sade now rests comfortably on his ribcage (although he’s only met her once) and then there’s the $100K necklace he may have bought his amour du jour Jennifer Lopez. Since Jen is shopping for jewelry with Alex Rodriguez presently, Drake decided to show himself a little love – to the tune of about $120,000. Drake’s new concept album More Life has just enjoyed its second week at the number one spot. To commemorate this, he had Ben Baller of If & Co. jewelers whip up a little something. The result is a multi-colored stone encrusted chain accompanied by an OVO Owl (his label’s logo) with “More” written on his back pendant. Mercy!
I love the owl pendant. I don’t usually go for multi-stone things but I think that is really lovely. I’m going to pass on the chain. It’s beautiful craftsmanship but not my taste. That gold though. I am a huge yellow gold fan and the more carats the better. De-iced, I’d never take it off.
Drake was so excited about his new little trinket that he shot this video to show it off. Have a care watching it, cinematography is not one of his talents. It gave me motion sickness:
As I have mentioned, I don’t know much about Drake. I have no idea if these will be auctioned off to pay off creditors later or if he is a money whiz with loads of disposable income set aside just for his folly. I’m choosing to believe the latter because I feel less guilty about living vicariously through his purchases. But holy moly – if this is celebrating two weeks at number one, what will he do if it reaches a month? I’m rooting for this to happen just to see. Don’t listen to any haters, Drake – jewelry really can mend a broken heart. Just keep buying and posting.
I am ALL ABOUT rewarding yourself for accomplishments. Oh! Look at that, I just got a new Twitter follower – I think this calls for Louboutins!

He’s 25 sitting on 25 mil, right? I wouldn’t spend my money on a necklace based on the mechanical owl from the original “Clash of the Titans,” but…
Yes! Clash of the Titans. I couldn’t figure it out.
Any time I read or hear of “diamond-encrusted” I think of junk jewelry. More bling for much less bucks.
OMG ARCHIMEDES!!! I love you guys^^^
that looks like junk jewelry you can buy for a couple of dollars at Claire’s
+1
+ 1,000,000
He is just soo tacky. I promise not all of us beige Canadians are this taccckkkyyy…
I really like it!
I wish I could afford to waste $120,000 on ugly, tacky, junk jewelry
In all seriousness this looks like something my 89 year old going-blind grandmother would love…doesn’t seem like something a “rapper” would like.
Well, it’s his money-I would have bought a Faberge egg or a huge vintage Alexandrite piece, but that’s me. You do you, Drake. on second thought, why not a mallard? Maybe a little too on the beak, so to speak.
