Why Suge Knight Alleges Drake Got Played Over Tupac Necklace

Rapper Drake has just added another piece of hip-hop jewelry to his collection. But according to Suge Knight it’s not what he thinks it is!

Suge Knight may be behind bars, but that’s not stopping him from still making headlines. This time around, he’s become the talk of the timelines thanks to his recent claims against rapper Drake.

For context, the chatter revolves around a Death Row chain that Drake recently purchased that apparently belonged to Tupac back in the day. If you’ll recall, this isn’t the first time the “One Dance” rapper has owned a piece of jewelry from the late “Keep Ya Head Up” rapper. As we previously told you, in July 2023, Drake purchased a ring allegedly created by Pac. (The piece would later become yet another subject of ire between longstanding beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar).

Now however, it appears the Tupac chain is once again causing Drizzy to come under fire and Knight is the main one blasting him. Specifically, in a recent interview given to “The Art of Dialogue” from prison, he alleged that the chain Drake has actually isn’t the one that belonged to Pac because he was the one who gave it to him years ago and knows a key differentiator that makes it stand apart.

Explaining how the chain belonged to him first and that he gave the “California Love” rapper the diamond encrusted piece once he got out of jail in 1995, Knight said:

“He’s [Pac] like, ‘Shit, you my big bro. Let me wear yours, that’s more important. I don’t want a first one, I want to wear the one you got.’…That’s not 2Pac’s chain. It’s not a Death Row chain. Whoever sold you that chain, Drake, you need to go beat his motherf*cking ass. He played you.”

Knight went on to say that his original chain didn’t have “All Eyez on You 1996” written on the back of it like the one that Drake has and said that the Toronto rapper ought to find people who represent Pac truthfully and not “weirdos who were jealous and hating on Pac.”
