Busta Rhymes has seen it all in his 30-plus-year career, but his latest jewelry purchase was enough to leave him picking his jaw up off the floor.
In a clip posted by celebrity jeweler TraxNYC, the Brooklyn rap legend receives an enormous diamond ring that arrived in a one-of-a-kind custom case that was almost as flash as the jewelry itself.

Matching a chunky bracelet that Busta had already purchased from Trax (real name Maksud Agadjani), the ring was imprinted with a dragon symbol, a nod to both the rapper’s “Dungeon Dragon” alter-ego and the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese calendar.
After laying his eyes on the ring in its ornate case, which was adorned with his logo, Busta says: “Jesus Christ! Do you see this shit?! What the fuck is going on here?! The dragon’s lair!”

The ring is then shown to the camera up close as the Flipmode Squad frontman remarks: “Them are big shit stones, we not playing with them little shits. You see them big bitches.”
After finally trying it on, he says: “The fit is so perfect. This shit takes up the whole finger. Close my fist, it fits right. The weight, the science, the geometry, the algebra.”
Busta then lights a cigar for him and Trax to celebrate his stunning new conversation accesory.
The hefty chain Busta Rhymes is wearing in the clip is the same one that 50 Cent joked about when the two were on tour together last year.
In a video of the two New York rap veterans hanging out backstage, 50 proceeded to rib Busta about the size of the chain.
“Tell him the chain too big!” the G-Unit mogul said. “Tell that n-gga his chain too big! He got no friends, they not telling him!”
Fellow New Yorker Jim Jones was also stunned by the size of Busta’s neckpiece when they ran into each other at Usher’s Lovers & Friends festival in Las Vegas last year.

“That [chain] is fucking retarded,” the Dipset rapper said in disbelief. “That shit look bigger in the daytime, ya heard? That shit look like it’s growing.”
