The Notorious B.I.G. passed away at the young age of 24 and, today, he would be celebrating his birthday. If he were still alive, the rapper would have been 48-years-old. It’s crazy to imagine how things would be if he was never murdered on that fateful day in 1997. Would he still be releasing music? Would he have helped some new rappers come up? We’ll never know.

As we celebrate one of the all-time greats on his birthday, Snoop Dogg came through by showing us a dope chain and pendant that he’s got in his collection, tributing the legend.

The West Coast rap icon shared an image of his pendant, which shows Biggie wearing a crown and looking stoic. The gold version of the rapper is wearing a chain himself, stunting a Jesus piece in a little bit of chain-ception. 

Snoop Dogg is one of many that has been thinking of The Notorious B.I.G on his birthday. Having come up at the same time as the rapper, Snoop has stories for days about his work ethic and his relationship with Tupac Shakur. 

Take a look at his chain below and let us know if you would rock this. It’s definitely pretty unique.

Gucci Mane gifted his wife, Keyshia Ka’oir, a blindingly icy chain as an anniversary present, as he declared her “the Queen of 1017.” On Thursday (May 14th), Gucci shared a brief clip on Instagram to show just how shiny and sparkly his wife’s new anniversary ice looks in the light. “Happy Anniversary to the QUEEN of 1017 !! My Wife @keyshiakaoir,” Gucci wrote in the caption. The chain bears a massive diamond “1017” pendant, to represent his record label, of which Keyshia reigns as “queen.”

Although he indicates that they are celebrating some sort of anniversary, he does not specify which one. The couple got married on October 17th, 2017, the same number as Gucci’s collective, so today definitely doesn’t mark their wedding anniversary. However, with a gift like that, it even doesn’t matter what they’re celebrating.

Gucci recently gifted both Lil Baby and Young Thug some similar pieces of 1017 jewelry. Back in March, Baby received the gift from Gucci, and proceeded to show off his new ice on the ‘gram. Thug also flaunted his new jewels on social media just last month, although his chain is a little less flashy than Keyshia’s. It’s almost like Gucci is having these 1017 chains produced in bulk, but you know what they say: the more the merrier!

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few hours, you know that Tekashi 6ix9ine made his return to the music scene earlier today by dropping his new single, "GOOBA." He accompanied his first post-prison track with some aptly-themed rainbow visuals, in which the rapper is surrounded by tons of colourfully-clothed ladies, one of which is his girlfriend, Jade. 6ix9ine also conducted his first Instagram live session since his early prison release last month, and while many were focused on the record-breaking live stream, in which he actually explained why he snitched in court, others were too distracted by his new Disney-themed ice around his neck.

The "GOOBA" visuals open with an animated, rainbow shark chomping down its sharp teeth, which diehard Pixar fans will recognize as Bruce from 2003's Finding Nemo. It looks like 6ix9ine's a big fan of Bruce, since he even had a diamond-encrusted chain made of the Disney character. 6ix9ine holds up the flashy jewelry at one point, mimicking the shark's wide, menacing smile.

Bruce also appears as a painting on the wall in the visuals, as well as on 6ix9ine's yellow hoodie in some of the shots. Perhaps the Disney shark will serve as 6ix9ine's new mascot?

Regardless, some keen observers noticed that this wasn't just any shark, and proceeded to lose it over the diamond pendant. 

There’s a reason we have implemented an “Antics” category into the mix, especially considering the role social media plays within the hip-hop landscape. Beefs are ignited and intensified, relationships are developed and aired out, even “likes” are placed under a microscope. Over the weekend, rising rapper Lil Tjay spent some time engaging in some pretty hefty antics, embroiling himself into a beef with Don Q and — though inadvertently— A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie.

It all seemed to stem from a chain-snatching that allegedly saw Tjay nabbing a Highbridge chain from one of Don Q’s associates, though A Boogie later claimed the chain had been lost a “long ass time ago” in an unrelated incident. Perhaps A Boogie’s disappointed tone was enough to open Tjay’s eyes to the error of his ways, as the young rapper recently took to Instagram to issue an apology for his behavior — while he didn’t exactly offer up specifics or name names, he did appear to be sincere for the time being. 

“Today’s a new day man, I’m chillin’,” he admits. “I don’t feel like arguing with anybody today. Real shit though, I swear I’m going back to the old Lil Tjay. This is why I’m not posting a lot, cause I can’t control myself. Start getting out of hand and shit. My fault for getting out of composure. May 8th, State Of Emergency Mixtape be dropping.”

Check out Tjay’s apology below, and sound off – should rappers prioritize music over antics at all times? Or do you quietly appreciate the extra-curricular activities that tend to transpire on social media? 

This was one of the most media-heavy weekends in the short career of New York rapper Lil Tjay, who was trending on social media for much of Saturday and Sunday. Previously referring to himself as the Prince of New York, the 19-year-old is taking a step up and calling himself the King now, throwing people like A Boogie wit da Hoodie and Tekashi 6ix9ine under the bus.

It all started after Lil Tjay flew out rapper Rubi Rose to spend his birthday with him before seemingly refusing to book her a flight back home. This kicked off a myriad of feuds between Tjay and other New York veterans, including A Boogie and his crew, including Don Q, Trap Manny, and others. The “F.N” rapper threatened to snatch a Highbridge chain, which represents A Boogie’s label, and he actually ended up getting his hands on one, which caused his new rival to respond on Instagram.

Flexing with a Highbridge chain and bragging that it took him less than 24 hours to grab it, Lil Tjay was deemed a clown by A Boogie who explained what actually went down.

“One of the Bro’s DROPPED/LOST his chain a long ass time ago while we dragged a n***a and that’s word to Melody,” said A Boogie wit da Hoodie, putting his word on his daughter’s life. “N***a got the audacity to buy it off a random n***a, shoot a vid with it and front like he did something. Lost all my respect for you smh.”

Both Lil Tjay and A Boogie wit da Hoodie are huge names in New York so it’s upsetting to see them on opposing sides. 

Who are you riding for?

Chick-fil-A are bringing their top notch service to the comfort of your home. The chain restaurant announced that they’ll soon be launching a new product in the form of at-home meal kits complete with ingredients to prepare Chick-fil-A meals from home. As the coronavirus pandemic has forced dining establishments to close their doors to their loyal customers, many have been surviving off of take-out and delivery services. Companies that specialize in meal kit products have also seen a boost in sales since the pandemic escalated, according to CNN. Although Chick-fil-A first started testing out their new meal kit product back in 2018, they decided that there was no better time than the present to launch.

“Customers are asking us to serve them at home,” Michael Patrick, a member of Chick-fil-A’s Beyond the Restaurant team, said. “So we brought it back.” Meal kits can be ordered for pick-up or delivery, but unfortunately, there’s only one food option available: chicken parmesan. The kit comes with two breaded filets, marinara sauce, cheese, and a side of creamy garlic and lemon pasta. However, there’s a customization option that allows customers to swap the breaded filets for grilled or spicy chicken, and the meat will be pre-cooked, so customers just have to reheat it.

The chain will begin offering these new meal kits, which cost $14.99 and serve two, as soon as May 4th. While each individual restaurant will have the choice of whether or not they’d like to offer the product, the company expects at least half of its locations will opt to do so. You can also purchase Chick-fil-A’s signature and Polynesian sauces in select stores.

The Atlanta rap music scene appears to be pretty close-knit, featuring some characters that will always stand at the forefront. Young Thug and Gucci Mane are two of the most well-known figures from the city’s hip-hop imprint, both classing their own labels and putting on talent from their hoods. Gucci Mane has his 1017 Eskimo hustle, which he is currently revamping with a bunch of new artists and rappers that he believes in. Young Thug has his YSL Records project, which houses names like Gunna, Lil Duke, Lil Keed, and more. Although their worlds may not always intertwine, Gucci Mane made sure his friend Young Thug always has a piece of him wherever he goes, gifting him an icy new chain.

Much like he did recently with Lil Baby, Gucci Mane is back on his East Atlanta Santa tip. Good ole’ Saint Nick came through with an expensive gift for Young Thug, dropping off a new very, very shiny diamond pendant at his door and allowing him to represent the 1017 Eskimo gang whenever he pleases.

This week, Thugger showed off the chain on Instagram, pairing it with a handful of other necklaces and flaunting his very frigid neck. Guwop was excited to see that he was already enjoying the present, commenting on the post that they’re officially “twins.”

“Everything is perfect now,” wrote Wop, forgetting that the world outside has absolutely gone to trash for a moment.

We may all be sequestered to our respective homes, but that doesn’t mean you can’t communicate with the ones you love. Whether it be virtually or through the good ol’ fashioned mail, there are ways to reach out and send your love to your friends and family, and if you choose the latter method, you can even send more than love– you can send a care package filled with goodies.

We don’t know if this is what Gucci Mane did when he sent Lil Baby an icy new chain, but we’d like to imagine it is. “How The Fucc You Get A 1017 Ain’t You 4PF,” he postures to his followers in the caption. Gucci, for his part, has been busy signing new artists, and asking his fans who he should sign. Among those new signees is Ola Runt, whom Baby shouts out in his caption.

In response to Baby sharing his iced out 1017 chain with the world, Gucci also commented and big upped the rapper in the process– quite the compliment coming from Gucci– he replied, “U saved the city Vato.”

What do you think? Did Lil Baby save the ATL? Peep the chain below.

Kobe Bryant’s untimely passing is still shocking to many of us who used to watch him play. He was a transcendent NBA star who will forever live on in our hearts and memories. Over the past few months, numerous athletes and fans have gone to great lengths to pay homage to the legend. Recently, NFL running back Derrick Henry decided to get a tribute of his own, in the form of a diamond chain, according to TMZ.

The chain was made by ZoFrost and contains a total of 35 carats worth of diamonds. This chain is in the shape of Kobe’s Nike logo while a Black Mamba snake is wrapped around it. These aesthetics play into Kobe’s nickname of the same nomenclature. As you can see from the video below, the chain is shining bright and will certainly be a piece Henry wears frequently.

Henry reportedly paid $85K for the chain which is an amount he can definitely afford. Henry is up for a brand new contract although the Titans recently hit him with the franchise tag since they were worried about him signing somewhere else. It remains to be seen what kind of contract he will get although we’re sure it would afford him even more pieces of flashy jewelry.

Let us know in the comments below what you think of the chain.

Post Malone decided to update everyone on his growing jewelry collection by paying a visit to GQ for their “On The Rocks” segment. where he showed off the latest pieces in his expanded stock. Posty appeared on GQ‘s “On The Rocks” segment a whole 3-and-a-half years ago, where he mostly just showed off various gold chains, but now, his collection boasts more expensive and refined items.

Since his last appearance on the segment, the jewelry afficionado has added a series of luxury watches, including a factory diamond-set Nautilus and an army green Patek Philippe Aquanaut. His most notable set of belongings in the watch department is a trio of Richard Mille pieces, which includes his post expensive timepiece: a $1 million RM-052 Tourbillon Skull Asia Edition. While he doesn’t consider himself a “ring guy,” Post owns a number of icy bands, including one diamond number that he wears on his opposite ring finger “to marry myself, because no one will ever love me like I love myself.”

Among his pieces are several gifts from fellow celebrities and past and present tourmates like 21 Savage and Swae Lee. Of course, he had to flaunt his now-infamous Dallas Cowboys star chain, which is said to have cost $250,000. Watch the full segment above, and catch his previous “On The Rocks” video below to compare.
