Drake hasn’t been shy about showing his appreciation for 2Pac, and it appears the 6 God may have purchased another jewelry artifact from the late Death Row rapper.
Drizzy took to his Instagram on Sunday (Aug. 24), posting a photo of what appeared to be 2Pac’s 1996 Death Row Records chain. The menacing Death Row label logo is blinged out while the back of the golden pendant is inscribed with “All Eyez on YOU 1996.”
The post from Drake also included the All Eyez On Me cover art, which finds Pac proudly rocking the Death Row chain.
Moneybagg Yo, Gashi and Gillie Da Kid lent their stamps of approval, while former Death Row rapper Daz Dillinger chimed in. “I GOT MINES WHATS NEW ABOUT SOMETHING OLD ITS LIGHT DIAMONDS NOT HEAVY. LOL FUC DEATHROW,” he wrote.

A fan added his disbelief: “Bruh. The world has been wondering where Pac’s original Death Row Records chain has been at since 1996. Mind blowing.”
Back in 2023, Drake showed off that he was the owner of a gold, ruby and diamond crown ring previously owned by 2Pac. Sotheby’s confirmed that Drizzy purchased the ring for a jaw-dropping price tag of $1.1 million. The ring was worn by the West Coast icon in his final public appearance at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards.
Drake is currently touring Europe with PARTYNEXTDOOR, and they’ll hit the stage in Copenhagen on Monday night (Aug. 25) before heading to Milan for a pair of shows later this week.
