The personalised Drake phone case is diamond encrusted...
Drake season never ends. Ever since the Toronto born-rapper released his first mixtape back in 2006, he's always been a bit of a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. From So Far Gone and 'Take Care' to Scorpion and 'Nice for What', few artists have ever dominated the charts, the internet and beyond in the way Drake does. Who else could have inspired the 'In My Feelings' challenge? He is a viral king.
With that in mind, it's no surprise that Drake is very wealthy. From his music to his business ventures, he's never not making money. He's recently been criticised for expensive ticket prices but he's also been praised for his generosity and his charity work. When Drake's not earning and giving money though, he spends it (have you seen his house?) and now the internet's losing it over his new iPhone case.
What is Drake's net worth?
Drake is reportedly estimated to have a net worth of over $100,000,000 so he's got plenty of spare cash to treat himself. Still people are divided over his latest purchase. According to bespoke diamond jewellers @jasonogbeverlyhills, the 'One Dance' star has just bought a personalised, diamond encrusted iPhone case with the OVO owl and it is worth $400,000.
The jewellers wrote: "Because we can’t do basic! Diamond iPhone case cover for our friend @champagnepapi" and Drake then liked the post, seemingly confirming that it's true.

Unsurprisingly, fans are split in the comments. Of course it's beautiful but given how easy it is to drop an iPhone case some people think it's a strange investment. Not only that but when a new iPhone comes out, Drake will have to get a brand new one made. Then there are those who think it's wild to spend that much on a phone case full stop.
Comments range from: "Idc if Drake is rich or not, he's a fuckin idiot if wasted $400,000 on a phone case!" and "If you drop your phone, fuck your phone!! You just wasted 400K!! Hopefully they got diamond care, like Apple has Apple care."
Obviously Drake is entitled to spend his own money as he pleases.
