Drake bought a one-of-a-kind Met Gala necklace by Frank Ocean for $1.9 million
In a way, Drake is Drake’s sport of choice, of which he is the MVP and perhaps also his own biggest competitor. When God 6ix arrived at the Scotiabank Arena on Friday to watch his beloved hometown Toronto Raptors play against his also beloved pet city team, the Los Angeles Lakers, he arrived ready to play with a unique 127.5 carat diamond necklace from Homer, the independent luxury company was founded by the elusive chanteur Frank Ocean.
Drake, who was confirmed by Homer as the purchaser of the item, purchased the “high-legged jewelry necklace” for its eye-catching sticker price of $1,898,000. At the game, he paired it with a matching 41.23-carat bracelet, worth $271,500. (Do not worry –Homer electronics store listing please provide free express shipping.)
The necklace, made of 18 karat white gold linked with pavé spheres, features a striking feature 9,226 diamonds: all lab grown (as well as Homer’s MO), clear VVS. The suit was worn only once by Ocean in public at the 2021 Met Gala — though it was more or less overshadowed by his other statement accessory, a neon blue robotic doll named Cody — and has been on display at the Homer store on the Bowery in Manhattan ever since.
This could even be Drake’s most expensive chain eclipsing his OVO owl pendant, crafted by renowned jeweler Ben Baller, using 40 carats of glacial blue, canary and white VVS diamonds… and over a kilogram of gold . Then again, Champagne Papi bet more than 1.26 million dollars on the Super Bowl just a few weeks ago — and won.
Also a few weeks ago, Drake posted a selfie on his Instagram story sports another diamond-encrusted Ben Baller necklace made to resemble Tyler, the Creator IGOR personality, statuary and all. Not to read too much into the tea leaves, but between Tyler and Frank, Drake did tell us he was ready to come back. on the train OFWGKTA? Strange things happened.
