Drake has dropped a whopping $600k on two diamond necklaces in a bid to pay tribute to late rap icon Tupac Shakur.
The Nice For What hit-maker, 33, splurged on two blinged-up necklaces, which are reported to be worth a whopping $600,000 (£458,000) together.
The bespoke pieces of bling were created for Drake by jeweller-to-the-stars Jason of Beverly Hills.
Taking to Instagram, the jewellery expert shared a dazzling glimpse at the custom made necklaces twinkling in the light.
Each pendant features the head of Tupac and incorporates signature elements from the classic Jesus piece.
The late rapper is depicted wearing a blue bandana on one and a red bandana on the other.

The blue version boasts white gold and diamonds, while the red iteration has yellow diamonds and yellow gold.
Both pieces see the rapper’s face scattered with jewels while a gold crown sits upon his head.
In the caption, the jeweller said he was honoured to have worked on the project.
Alongside a sneak peak at Drake’s new bling, Jason penned: “Thank you @champagnepapi for trusting us with this project. Unbelievable honour to help pay homage to the legend Tupac Shakur.”

Drake also shared a short video on Instagram Stories, proudly showing off his new custom jewellery.
“Always wanted twin Jesus pieces thank you @jasonofbeverlyhills,” he wrote alongside the snapshot.
According to LadBible, each pendant was made using a half-kilo of gold, as they are paired with 70-carat diamond chains.
It is believed that they retail for a whopping $300,000 (£228) each.

Drake’s latest extravagant purchase comes after the God’s Plan artist labelled Maya Jama a “sweet one” in his brand new track with Headie One.
The Canadian musician didn’t hold back as he gave the 25-year-old former BBC Radio One DJ a shoutout in the first line of the tune.
In the song, Drake raps: “Chubbs might jam this yute for a chain, and gave it to a sweet one, called that Maya Jama.”

Fans quickly noticed the flirty mention, with the rapper’s opening line in the song sparking speculation about how Maya’s ex Stormzy would respond.
Maya and Stormzy were together for over four years before they ended their romance in August last year.
She opened up about her split from the rapper, saying on the TTYA Talks podcast: “I was in a relationship for nearly five years and I’ve had a new lease of excitement.
“I don’t allow myself to be down in the dumps about things that are out of my control, like my break-up. I’m one of those hard, nutty people — I’ve been through worse.”
