Suge Knight<\/a> doesn\u2019t think Drake<\/a>\u2019s 2Pac<\/a> chain is authentic.<\/p>\n In a recent interview given to the Art of Dialogue from prison, Knight claimed the supposed Death Row Records<\/a> chain that once belonged to Pac and has since been purchased by Drizzy isn\u2019t real.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, I’m quite sure it’s not true,\u201d said Knight near the 40-second mark in the video linked above. \u201cWhen I came up with the idea to make the Death Row chain\u2014one, it had never been done before. Two, it was like wearing a, you know, it was like having your flag, your rag. You can’t tuck it, It means something.\u201d<\/p>\n The Death Row Records co-founder explained that he was the only one who ever handed out authentic chains on behalf of the record label. He recalled giving the first one to Snoop Dogg<\/a>, who later opted for a custom dog paw believing a Death Row chain would \u201ccause too much controversy.\u201d<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n Knight also said Dr. Dre<\/a> and a few close affiliates had chains while noting, \u201cNone of the b**cheson Death Row had Death Row chains. The Dogg Pound [Kurupt<\/a> and Daz Dillinger<\/a>] didn\u2019t even have Death Row chains.\u201d<\/p>\n Following Pac\u2019s release from jail in 1995, Knight recalled telling the rapper he would get him his own Death Row chain, which he refused.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s like, \u2018Shit, you my big bro. Let me wear yours, that\u2019s more important. I don\u2019t want a first one, I want to wear the one you got,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n According to Knight, Pac wore his diamond-covered chain immediately upon his release, and no one else had that piece.<\/p>\n \u201cThat’s not 2Pac\u2019s chain. It’s not a Death Row chain. Whoever sold you that chain, Drake, you need to go beat his motherfucking ass. Crazy,\u201d Knight said, suggesting that he should connect with those who still represented Pac truthfully instead of \u201cweirdos were jealous and hating\u201d on him.<\/p>\n Drake, who is currently touring through Europe, shared photos with the supposedly fake chain in question to his Instagram account earlier this week.<\/p>\n Image via champagnepapi \/ Instagram<\/span><\/p>\n Image via champagnepapi \/ Instagram<\/span><\/p>\n A close-up of the piece shows it has \u201cAll eyez on YOU 1996\u201d engraved on the back.<\/p>\n Drake\u2019s fascination with 2Pac\u2019s legacy, particularly his jewelry, has long been documented.<\/p>\n In 2023, he paid over $1 million at a Sotheby’s auction<\/a> for Pac\u2019s crown ring, later revealing his ownership in an Instagram Story before wearing it publicly. That ring became part<\/a> of Drake\u2019s feud with Kendrick Lamar<\/a>, who rapped during his Pop Out – Ken & Friends concert that summer, \u201cGive me 2pac ring back and I might give you a little respect.\u201d<\/p>\n Drake had also commissioned two diamond chains in 2020 inspired by 2Pac, each valued at about $300,000.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n PARTYNEXTDOOR & Drake – $ome $exy $ongs 4 U – LP (Opaque Red)<\/p>\n OVO Sound<\/span> PARTYNEXTDOOR & Drake – $ome $exy $ongs 4 U – LP (Opaque Red)<\/span> $39.98<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n What A Time To Be Alive [LP]<\/p>\n uDiscover Music<\/span> What A Time To Be Alive [LP]<\/span> $27.98<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory \u2013 LA King\u2019s Edition Vinyl<\/p>\n Interscope Records<\/span> The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory \u2013 LA King\u2019s Edition Vinyl<\/span> $50<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 2Pac Greatest Hits’ 4LP<\/p>\n Interscope Records<\/span> 2Pac Greatest Hits’ 4LP<\/span> $80<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Boi-1da Wants to Know What Drake Haters Listen to ‘When Tings Are Around’<\/span><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Drake Seemingly Shows Off 2Pac’s Death Row Records Chain <\/span><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Drake Takes Shots at Rob Markman and Calls for Tory Lanez’s Freedom Again: ‘Goof’<\/span><\/p>\n For Ta-ku, Creativity Means Constant Change<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Snoop Dogg Criticizes LGBTQ Representation in Kids’ Movies: ‘We Have to Show That at This Age?’<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
