Afrobeats artist Burnaboy spends £1million on a chain

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Always interesting when I see Africans flexing blood diamonds.

Is every diamond from Africa a blood diamond?

For instance, Botswana is one of the biggest diamond producers in Africa…

 

[Low End Derrick]

His money.

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

If I'm an African breh and wanted to flex....fukk buying a chain, buy the whole damn diamond mine.

Of course we already know that the value is heavily inflated because there's an oversupply of diamonds...and the companies restrict what's available to the public to keep the price up.

A musician is going to be loaned $100M to buy a mine, obtain licenses, purchase the reclamation bond, the collateralized equipment, hire engineers etc.

How will Burna Boy get time to make music then?

Imagine coming from the trenches to become a superstar and a coli breh is mad the way you spend YOUR money

No trenches with Burna Boy, he's from a normal family. Nigerian equivalent of growing up in the suburbs.

That African bought diamonds his fellow Africans probably lost life or limb to dig up out the ground. Considering Africa's complicated history with diamond mining you would think dude would show better sense but it's like when nikkas come into money they don't give a fukk.

Arab/Jewish person steals diamonds from Africa for pennies on the dollar, sells it back to the same Africans for hundreds of thousands/millions .

Black people truly stay embarrassing ourselves

Funny when foreigners like and mimic the worst parts of our culture. But at least he happy

He’s not rapping murder murder murder, He made his money legally, he’s not hurting anyone, I’m sure his immediate family and day ones are taken care of so what’s the problem

It’s his money. What do you think he should do with his money brethren?

Like i said it's just stupid shyt fam... i'd say that about ANY artist spending their money on frivolous shyt especially now... that's just me personally... I personally can't condone it.

 

[ORDER_66]

It's really weird how happy these guys are to be getting fleeced by these jewelers. What is so special about a chain? These musicians pull up with a kool-aid smile and act like they won a superbowl by getting these huge, gaudy, iced out pieces, and all the meanwhile, they just put generations of the jeweler's family through college.

Every other race comes around and dumps their junk on us and they get the financial freedom while he get the blinged out slave chains.

Bingo...

 

[old pig]

I wonder if rappers and jewelers “inflate” how much some of these chains were really bought/sold for just to generate publicity…I know dude can easily afford it but it seems like a such a ridiculous god awful waste of money just for a chain…an ugly piece at that…granted that’s subjective on my part but damn

I don’t know if every single individual piece of diamond was literally a blood diamond, no.

But just collectively seeing Africans with diamonds is one of the wildest things you’ll ever see.

Why? Some African companies and government’s legitimately own diamond mines/issue licenses to ethical miners.

While I appreciate any form of education, any joint venture that has anything to do with De Beers is automatically invalid. Their practices are inhuman and Botswanan people got driven out their lands for those mines to placed there.

That specific mine in Debswana may not feature blood diamonds but again, anything connected with De Beers opens up the possibility that there was either blood Diamond or just inhumane treatment.

Tell that to the government of Botswana and the higher standard of the BaTswana enjoy compared to other Africans
