Kid Cudi Helps Drake Add Another Vintage Pharrell Chain To His Collection

This is the most recent Pharrell composition to appear in Drake’s collection.
 
Drake continues to add to his incredible jewelry collection, which includes many of the pieces that were once owned by Pharrell Williams. We now know that the Toronto teen has stolen another of the producer’s timeless songs from teen Cudi, due to a recent post on his Finsta account. 

A photo posted to Champagne Papi’s backup account shows that he is now the proud owner of Pharrell’s white gold brain pendant necklace, which has the logo encrusted in stunning blue diamonds and has 44.92 carats of white, blue, black, and natural pink diamonds. The piece was created by Jacob “The Jeweler” Arabo in 2005, and Kid Cudi paid $725,000 for it at Pharrell’s Joopiter auction in 2022. Drake placed the winning offer at $243,750 when he re-auctioned it off. 

This is only the most recent item from Pharrell’s vaults to reach Drizzy, who also bought a number of items at Pharrell’s initial auction. This includes a nine-carat pair of Oakley sunglasses, his famous 2005 N.E.R.D. necklace, his dual skateboard pendant, and another brain pendant chain that is composed of yellow gold rather than white. Many of these songs were included in Drake’s “Jumbotron Sh*t Poppin” music video. Six months later, on “Meltdown,” he threatened to melt the renowned items and made fun of the creative director of Louis Vuitton.

Pharrell clarified why Drake’s acquisitions and threats to destroy them had no impact on him in an interview with GQ published in November 2024. 

He responded, “No, because I think beyond all of the ongoings, at the heart of all of it, he’s a fan of music,” when asked if he was concerned by Drake purchasing his old pieces. He enjoys seeing history unfold, and I am a part of it, and those objects are part of it. When questioned about Drake’s threats to melt them down, he continued, “I guess some things are not for me to understand.”

“When you let things go, a huge part of it is actually letting go,” he continued, referring to the fragments. Not simply of the tangible object, but also of the memory or your attachment to what it should represent. Literally, you’re letting them go. That was the goal.
