Hip hop music has always been about hard life experiences, discrimination, oppression and struggles these artists go through to succeed in the music business and in life. So what better way to symbolize their success, status and wealth than to flaunt it with expensive, flashy jewellery that announce their arrival in society?  And these artists definitely arrived, no doubt about it! Here are 5 artists flossin’ about hip hop jewellery that are the wildest pieces you’ll ever see!

With so many rappers and hip hop artists sporting hip hop jewellery that pay homage to themselves, it’s refreshing and nice to see one who pays tribute to another music icon, particularly rock legend, Marilyn Manson.

It also comes with a pendant that features the image of Marilyn Manson wearing a Mickey Mouse hat studded with 55 carat black and white diamonds. The whole piece is estimated at around USD $220,000.
