Drake has been identified as the buyer of a gold, ruby, and diamond crown ring that Tupac Shakur wore during his final public appearance.
According to a press release, Drake paid $1,016,000 for it at a Sotheby’s auction, which now ranks as one of the most expensive items ever sold at a Sotheby's auction!!!
Before he died, the late Pac designed the ring and wore it to the MTV Video Music Awards in early September 1996.
