Rap star Drake has been revealed as the new owner of the late Tupac Shakur's crown ring , which he purchased at auction for over $1 million on Thursday. Shakur wore the custom, self-designed ring on his left ring finger during his final appearance at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards, a little over a week before his shooting death in Las Vegas at the age of 25. The adornment had "Pac & Dada 1996" engraved on the band, in reference to the artist's engagement to actress Kidada Jones. Drake confirmed that he was the ring's mystery buyer, posting a photo of it on an Instagram story. Sotheby's, the auction house that sold the piece of jewelry, also confirmed to CBS News in a news release that the Grammy-winning rapper is the crown ring's new owner.
