Drake has extremely expensive taste. The rapper’s Toronto home is worth a whopping £80 million, he has a car collection comprising custom super cars (Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible and Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren includes), and he has appeared in Forbes’ Hip Hop Cash Kings list every year for the past decade. In addition, the “God’s Plan” rapper consistently shows off a penchant for one-of-a-kind pieces of jewellery, including a custom £100,000 Stone Island pendant that boasts a combination of black, green and canary-yellow diamonds with 880 grams of gold.

This weekend Drake further demonstrated his taste for the finer things when he attended a basketball game between Toronto Raptors and the Los Angeles Laker in Canada wearing one of the most expensive pieces necklaces in the world right now. Paired with a black leather jacket, jeans and his new, neatly-braided cornrows, Drake hung an iced-out, diamond-heavy necklace round his neck, from Frank Ocean’s jewellery brand Homer.

Launched in August last year, Homer focuses on producing ultra- fine bracelets, necklaces and rings (it also sells silk scarves, while Ocean has promised shoes and apparel in the future), made with lab-grown diamonds, each of which have monstrous price tags. Case in point: Drake’s Sphere Legs High Jewellery Necklace costs a staggering £1.8 million and was handcrafted in Italy by an artisanal jeweller. Each orb on the pendant boasts a 0.33 inch brilliant cut white diamond with an average weight of 2.326 carats, while the centrepiece of the pendant – a dazzling cut VSS diamond – takes the necklace up to a gargantuan 127.5 carats.
