It was recently reported that a ring belonging to Tupac had been sold at auction for over a million dollars, making it the most expensive piece of hip-hop memorabilia to date. It was revealed shortly after that Drake was the lucky owner of this precious jewelry.
CNN reported that the gold, ruby, and diamond crown ring was seen on the late rapper’s finger during his final public appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1996. It was auctioned for $1 million in New York City, and Sotheby’s Auction House estimated it to only go for a maximum of $300,000.
On July 28, 2023, Drake took to his Instagram story to promote a featured song he had on Travis Scott’s latest album, Utopia. He displayed the ring in the story, and it sent the internet into a frenzy.
The ring had been advertised on Sotheby’s Instagram page weeks prior to the auction, which took place between July 18-25, 2023. Tupac had personally designed the piece, and his godmother, Yaasmyn Fula, helped commission it. She stated that whoever wore the ring had a responsibility to have an impact on the world. It was inscribed with “Pac & Dada 1996”, Dada being Tupac’s fiancé at the time.
The iconic ring has a long and meaningful story, and it is now in the possession of one of the world’s most popular rappers. Although the murder of Tupac Shakur is still unsolved, Nevada Police have recently followed a new lead.
