Drake finally clarified a few things about that cringey custom diamond engagement necklace that he unveiled last year.
The expensive piece, which reportedly cost upwards of $4 million to create, contains 42 engagement rings, allegedly representing each time the rapper thought about proposing, but never did, according to Buzzfeed.
While some fans thought the piece was unique, others heavily criticized the Grammy Award-winning artist for the “embarrassing” move. Some folks even called it “corny” and “disturbing.”
Drake clears the air about the icy necklace on Sundae Conversation
During a recent interview on the YouTube show Sundae Conversation With Caleb Pressley, Drake finally opened about the inspiration behind the controversial piece of drip. According to the “Hot Line Bling” hitmaker, the expensive necklace wasn’t suppose to be a serious thing.
“It was more just a joke,” the 36-year-old said. “But, obviously, people took it pretty literal.”
Since debuting the icy chain last year, Drake has been spotted out and about with the 351.38 carat piece. He even performs with it around his neck from time to time. The rapper, who dubbed the flashy chain “Previous Engagement,” said he was just trying to create an “interesting story” with the piece, but did not expect to get slammed with so much backlash as a result.
You can skip to the 3:40 minute mark to hear Drake talk about the piece in the awkwardly hilarious interview below.
We don’t know which one is more bizarre. The fact that Drake would joke about proposing over 40 times, or that he dropped an insane amount of cash just to create the expensive chain for sh*ts and giggles.
Maybe it’s time for the rapper to settle down soon.
