I
wanted to do something different. Jason of Beverly Hills, my jeweler, kinda helped me with the idea. He said I should do something with my dreads hanging down, so I could either let ‘em hang down or tie ‘em up. The piece weighs 1300 grams and it has 165 carats.
Once Jason put the [video clip] of the piece being made on Worldstar, everyone started talking about “he paid this much” and “he did that” but they don’t know. I just let them assume. A lot of people love the piece. It’s just certain people that have something to say about it. But, I don’t pay attention to them.
To make the mold of my face, I did a catscan, like an MRI. I had to lay down while they did a scan of my face. I had to turn all different angles and stuff. It was crazy how he did it. He did my wife’s wedding ring, so I’ve been working with Jason of Beverly Hills for a while.
Right now, my group the 1090 Blokk Boyz out of Orlando has the song “Nikki” that’s drawing a lot of buzz. I’m focused on basketball, though, I mainly just do rap during the summer. But I’m on a lot of the 1090 Blokk Boyz’ stuff. We’re gonna try to do something like what the Hot Boys did back in the day. //
I’m not gonna reveal how much it cost, because there’s a little too much going on. People are talking about it and making speculations, and they’re on me bad about it. It’s not that they don’t like the [piece], it’s just with the NBA lockout possibly coming up, they’re saying I wasted money on the piece. But they really don’t know what I paid for it, so they’re just speculating.
