The Notorious B.I.G.’s famous crown was purchased at auction for $595,000 by Jay-Z and worn by his daughter Blue Ivy.

 

 

Last week Blue Ivy, the daughter to Jay Z and Beyoncé, made history when she bagged herself a Grammy award for Best music Video category. She cemented her name as the second youngest person to take home the gold statuette.mmm

 

 

 

While celebrating her win, Beyoncé posted a photo of Blue Ivy sipping from her Grammy and on her head pensively sat a crown. Netizens went ham as the crown was likened to the one won by Notorious B.I.G, famous for hits including “Juicy,” “Big Poppa” and “Hypnotize” during his last recorded photoshoot in 1997, just three days before his murder in Los Angeles.

 

 

 

“Blue Ivy flexing her first Grammy and Biggie’s crown is the best thing you’ll see today!” wrote one Twitter user. Another tweeted: “She’s really so nonchalant about it. She’s wearing Biggie’s crown and sipping out of her own Grammy at nine-ears-old???? Blue Ivy is a legend.” Though it is yet not clear whether Blue was wearing B.I.G’s crown, many noted the accessory looked exactly like the crown synonymous with the hip hop legend.

The crown hit the streets last year when Sotheby launched its first hip-hop auction, a live event in New York comprising of unique artefacts, contemporary art, rare ephemera including flyers and posters among many others.

 

 

 

 

Biggie’s plastic crown, which cost an equivalent of Sh659 at the time, went for $595,000 (Sh65,363,025) at the auction. Many hip hop heads now believe it was Hov and Bey who made the purchase. This, despite the fact that Sean “Diddy” Combs, at the time Biggie’s label owner, did not approve of the crown as he worried that it would make the hip hop superstar look like the Burger King rather than the King of New York. As we take that, in let us look at some celebrity artefacts that were sold at ludicrous amounts
