Drake Purchases Tupac Death Row Pendant Worth $500K

Drake has significantly expanded his collection of rare music memorabilia by acquiring Tupac Shakur’s iconic Death Row Records pendant, a diamond-encrusted piece valued at approximately $500,000 and engraved with “All Eyez on YOU 1996.” This pendant, famously worn by Tupac on the cover of his 1996 album All Eyez On Me, was purchased from luxury collectibles dealer Alexander Bitar. The acquisition follows Drake's earlier purchase of Tupac’s custom gold crown ring for over $1 million in 2023, a piece that sparked controversy during his 2024 feud with Kendrick Lamar. Drake confirmed the latest purchase via Instagram during his 2025 European tour, where some fans interpreted his posts as subtle jabs at Lamar, particularly given their history involving Tupac-related references. Additionally, Drake also acquired a rare Michael Jackson–signed Thriller album, further highlighting his interest in iconic music artifacts. His purchases have drawn mixed reactions online, with some applauding his ability to secure such historic pieces, while others criticize him for perceived cultural appropriation.
