Speaker A

An iced-out Florida license plate, a $500,000 box of crayons, and a literal diamond-plated toilet. These are the stupidest pieces of jewelry ever bought by rappers, with 21 Savage creating a necklace to honor his own head. The 100-carat piece took two months to complete at a cost of $125,000 and was so over the top he retired from buying jewelry afterwards. Every time I meet someone who's very, very rich, like wealthy, I've never seen them with jewelry on, although Lil Pump

Speaker A

apparently ignored the message as he'd have his own face made out of diamonds less than a year later at a cost of $360,000. Lil Pump's chain received comments such as, "Imagine the pain knowing the colossal waste of money." This

Speaker A

was only made worse given others thought it didn't even look like him. I look more like Lil Pump than that chain and it looks like Gollum. Although after showing the chain off in a GQ episode, Lil Pump flexed another piece of jewelry which

Speaker A

was somehow even stupider: the chain reading "drug addict." It was born, bought for $380 grand, which when combined with his ESED and Gucci Gang chains meant Lil Pump spent over a million dollars on jewelry items that are no longer

Speaker A

relevant. However, this is nothing compared to how much Rick Ross spent to put his face on a necklace, given he purchased this atrocity for $1.5 million, or about five regional houses. For whatever reason, the chain also featured its own Rolls-Royce logo, although in

Speaker A

case this wasn't dumb enough, Rick Ross then ordered a second chain of himself wearing the first chain, so Rick Ross could wear Rick Ross who is wearing Rick Ross. The necklace might have been inspired by The Game's equally funny

Speaker A

Jesus Piece, wearing a Jesus Piece. Although in terms of Jesus Pieces, they get much worse. For example, Lil Booy's Christ the Redeemer pendant was bigger than an infant, weighing in at 10 lb or 4.5 kg, which when combined with his

Speaker A

equally crazy Holy Bible chain not only made him look ridiculous but likely also gave him back pain. It's therefore no surprise that after Booy flexed the chains on Instagram, his audience stated, "Bible says don't worship false idols."

Speaker A

This guy gets a Holy Bible gold chain. SMH, this generation, man. And this is wrong on so many levels. Please hire a financial advisor today. Booy claimed to abort the chains because God had given him everything. Although in terms of

Speaker A

God-honoring jewelry, Booy was only the start because at the 2010 BET Awards, Kanye West unexpectedly walked out with the biggest chain ever worn by a musician, honoring the Egyptian god Horus, which hung lower than his waist. The chain accompanied an equally crazy 24-

Speaker A

karat five-finger pyramid ring, with the two items costing a total of $300,000. Complex wrote about the piece in 2016, stating, "This is dumb. This chain is stupid, like 2 + 2 equals 7." Even yet, Lil Baby apparently thought this

Speaker A

equation was normal as he dropped thousands of dollars on a Rolex and iced-out chain for his son's third birthday. This was followed by a further $100,000 worth of jewelry for his fifth birthday, which understandably attracted criticism. Instead of buying his son assets at a

Speaker A

young age, he buys him liabilities. Great parenting. What does a 7-year-old need jewelry for? Let the kid grow up and play with toys. Rappers raising their kids to go broke. Too much resources at too early of an age spoils the milk. Given Lil Baby's

Speaker A

son's next chain might have been a $500,000 box of crayons. Sean Kingston bought the piece at the age of 17 and had to have his sister mail it across the country when the necklace needed repairs. Ever since Kingston's $500,000

Speaker A

chain was stolen from the mail, the authorities were alerted about the missing bling when the shipped package arrived at the jeweler's shop empty. Kingston's sister reportedly only insured the extravagant parcel for just $500, yet this might have been a good

Speaker A

thing. The ugliest necklace ever. Whoever took it did the guy a favor. But this isn't the only ugly necklace that wound up getting stolen. After dropping $1 million on a chain reading "Ice Age," Mike Jones went to bed and woke up to the

Speaker A

piece missing. I was sleeping in my house one day and I woke up and my homie stole it from me, you feel me? Really? Yeah. And while you could argue that the chain wasn't ugly, his negligence made the

Speaker A

story pretty damn stupid. A million dollars worth of jewelry around his neck and he fell asleep without first locking it into a safe. Genius. Although there's nothing less genius than P's entire jewelry collection. After dropping his fourth studio album called Goon, P

Speaker A

celebrated its release by ordering a diamond-encrusted Goon snapback, an iced-out license plate, and so many Goon ski masks it's hard to even count them. However, his stupidest piece of jewelry might have been his iced-out clothing

Speaker A

iron or his ridiculously large gold Cuban chain, which weighed in at 152 lb or 7 whole kilos. My IQ just dropped 20 points by watching this video alone. At least P's jewelry made for a funny story, as the background behind Lil

Speaker A

John's awful Crunk-AE dead chain was nothing short of depressing. Lil John was so confident that the crunk genre of music wouldn't die, he blew $500,000 on the necklace back in 2007, in the process setting a Guinness World Record for the

Speaker A

largest diamond pendant in the world. However, just a year after making the expensive claim that crunk wasn't dead, the genre died completely, leaving Lil John with a totally irrelevant chain. It's therefore no surprise people have said Lil John's 500k Crunk dead chain

Speaker A

really hasn't aged well. Although there's an equally terrible necklace that caused even more damage: T-Pain's big ass chain. After first buying it, he wrote on Twitter, "I told everybody I'm not playing no more. Anybody want to try outdo me,

Speaker A

then we're going at it like next-door neighbors. Believe that. 1 lb, 197 carats, very, very real. I don't know what fake feels like." Unlike almost every other piece so far, T-Pain has since talked extensively about the chain, including the reason he initially bought it. It was

Speaker A

a dare. Some dude on the side of the stage before I went on stage said, "I bet you won't get a chain that big ass chain." How much it originally cost him? How much? Oh, 400, 400, 400,000. Yeah. And

Speaker A

how much it's worth now? It's therefore no surprise T-Pain called the piece his biggest financial regret, the dumbest. Like, I've done some dumb things, but this one up here with the item being so ludicrous, most of the

Speaker A

public thought it was fake. I always thought it was fake. I thought it was fake. I was like, nobody, you know why I always thought it was fake? I was like, nobody would really buy, really buy what should have been fake. In addition

Speaker A

to the big ass chain, T-Pain spent a further $400,000 on a range of liquor bottle jewelry, which he then somehow misplaced completely. So what happened to those bottles? You still have those? You bought those down too? I don't know where they

Speaker A

are. You don't know where they are? Oh my God, I lost them. You lost them? $400,000 just gone in the wind. Yeah, which was something that couldn't happen to Lil Wayne's teeth, but this is also what made them so damn stupid. You see, while most

Speaker A

rappers go for a removable diamond grill, Lil Wayne spent $150,000 to have diamonds glued onto his actual teeth. These don't come out like other diamonds. Oh, wow, meaning he needed to brush them after every single meal and could only take them out with a

Speaker A

highly invasive surgery. Lil Wayne went to jail roughly one year after getting the diamonds, yet was able to delay his sentence by complaining his teeth hurt, with 6ix9ine also showing that jail and bad jewelry often go hand in hand. On the

Speaker A

cheaper end, 6ix9ine spent $750,000 on a diamond-covered Bruce the shark from Finding Nemo, yet there were two more million-dollar chains which were even dumber purchases. Firstly, there was his spinning rainbow 69 pendant, which he proudly covered in water to prove that

Speaker A

it was waterproof, although he should have taken the chance to share his second million-dollar chain, which acted as a water pistol and simply said "water." However, if we're on the topic of stupid functional jewelry, then Soulja Boy's

Speaker A

Lamborghini necklace h-

Speaker A

Lamborghini necklace has to come next soja boy explained that he' bought an actual Lamborghini and needed some jewelry to match so he'd spend 250,000 on a Lamborghini chain which had moving wheels and its own remote control meaning he could drive the chain in

Speaker A

various parts of his house soldja boy eventually gave the chain to a friend as a birthday present although he still had other pieces of Highly speculative jewelry for example he dedicated a different piece to the Transformers movie and spent 500 Grand on a mediocre

Speaker A

chain reading the World is Yours although while soldja boy might have owned the Earth Earth the entire solar system belonged to takeoff the Monstrous piece featured four planets two stars the Sun and its own NASA rocket share the pace was valued by a jewelry expert

Speaker A

who appeared on JQ that setup right there to get done with all those carrots all that ice at least a half a million bucks although the other two Migos members might have taken things even further for example quo spent 250,000 a

Speaker A

put himself in the Ratatouille movie which accompanied two equally wild Yoda and Crash Bandicoot chains neither of which were as crazy as offset's most viral piece a diamond encrusted trap house this is a 250 a quarter it's heavy

Speaker A

too it's more than the chain was helded as being quote ridiculously detailed complete with graffiti and oven and two figurines of offset both of them armed although the Trap House wasn't nearly as gangster as shorty Low's crack vial on a

Speaker A

necklace or Method Man's ice pick chain which he couldn't get past TSA security because they thought it could be used as a weapon ghost faces vachti Med was somehow even more obnoxious especially when combined with his Solid Gold Eagle

Speaker A

bracelet although for Young Jock's hustle nomics chain there are simply no words to explain how bad it is rather we might have to look at the jewelry owned by Lil Deval whose entire collection is designed to mock these other rappers for

Speaker A

example he showed up to a birthday bash wearing a plastic fake ass chain before trolling every other rapper with a diamond encrusted toilet he then post an image of rapper chains to his Instagram where the caption reading my toilet

Speaker A

chain almost 10 years old and I'm still on all of you although if there's one man who could out troll the troll it's got to be flavor flave whose oversized Diamond covered clocks are so damn stupid it makes him an extremely

Speaker A

memorable artist giving off a similar Vibe is Slick Rick's atrocious satellite dish looking Rolex which was shown on GQ with the rest of his chains all of which were bought because of their crazy size I love how he keeps trying to put

Speaker A

meaning behind the reasons he bought his jewelry but it really was just because it was the biggest thing in the store but if refresh shark teeth grill has taught us anything it's that rappers buy these terrible pieces of jewelry so they

Speaker A

can stand out from the crowd and whether that be DJ Mustard's mustard bottle Waker fucker's fog horn leorn rooster or just Blazer's PS3 controller it's safe to say that these rappers have achieved exactly that
