Overview

  • Drake shared a close-up of the Death Row Records pendant on Instagram during his Copenhagen tour stop, showing the engraving “All eyez on YOU 1996.”
  • Neither Drake nor any independent source has confirmed whether the piece is the original artifact or a replica, and the post included no provenance details.
  • HipHop-N-More reported that Drake bought the chain from luxury collectibles dealer Alexander Bitar, a claim that has not been independently verified.
  • The chain is associated with Tupac’s mid-1990s era and has been largely out of public view for years, heightening its rarity and cultural significance.
  • Coverage notes the display may carry symbolic weight in Drake’s ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar, which previously referenced Drake’s 2023 purchase of Tupac’s crown ring at Sotheby’s for over $1 million.
