Drake really DOES need some really big rings … ’cause Drizzy just copped a Toronto Raptors championship ring … and then got an even CRAZIER one done for himself!!!
TMZ Sports has learned … not only did the Champagne Papi get the “official” ring the Raptors received during their opening night ceremony on Tuesday … he also hit up Jason of Beverly Hills to get him a one of a kind ring to commemorate his team’s title run.
The piece is incredible — it’s got 30 carats of diamonds, which is more than any other championship ring in NBA history.
Jason tells TMZ Sports … “Drake had me fly to Turks and Caicos for an emergency design meeting.”
“It’s a championship that’s dear to his heart and he wanted to create an over the top ring that not only paid homage to his city but made a statement above and beyond anything else in history.”
As for the rings Kyle Lowry and Co. received on Tuesday … those have a face made of 74 diamonds (to represent the number of team wins during the season), one large diamond, and custom-cut baguette diamonds to make up the Toronto skyline.
The outer edge of the ring is lined with 16 rubies to go with each roster member’s numbers … and the inside of the ring includes personal messages for each player.
According to the Raptors, it has more than 640 diamonds total — which is a record for most on any pro-championship ring.
