The announcement came just after Drizzy gifted Khaled with a chain featuring a diamond-encrusted key with an owl. The custom piece is a nod to their respective brands and stands to commemorate their friendship as well as their history of hit-making.
“Khaled and Drake, Drake and Khaled,” Khaled said while showing off the new ice on Tuesday (September 29). “It’s always special when we connect … Look at this, come on, fully iced out. It’s so heavy, the quality … Drake is wearing one, now I got one. It’s called brothers. Drake, thank you so much for your friendship. This is beautiful. Love you for life.”
