Rapper Birdman And His $1.5 Million Chopard Diamond Watch
"This might be the best piece of art y'all have," says rapper Birdman (aka,"Baby," aka Brian Williams) in regard to a diamond encrusted Chopard watch that he is receiving for the first time in the above video. Taken last summer (I believe), you have an intimate look at the mentality and desires of this type of high-profile timepiece buyer. Aside from being extremely amused by the interaction, I am quite fascinated by the whole thing.Birdman is considered to be the second most wealthy rapper in history behind Jay-Z.
