he same ghost character that I have on my chain, I have tattooed on my hand. It’s kinda like my brand or logo for me as an artist and an icon. [It’s modeled after] the ghost Boo, from Mario Kart. I have it tattooed on me, so I just thought it’d be a sick piece. It’s on some whole other shit. I always like to be real creative with whatever I do, so I wanted to make a statement with this chain.

the ghost’s tongue out of red rubies instead of diamonds. I thought that’d be sicker cause everybody has red diamonds, but I’ve got rubies. It turned out sick. It didn’t cost me that much cause I got a good deal over at Highline. I don’t even know what it’s worth, to tell you the truth, I haven’t gotten it appraised yet cause I just got the chain. I gave him my old chain, my old watch, my top and bottom set of my grill; all my jewels, plus some cash out of my pocket. It’s around 30 carats.
