The sensational musician noted that the necklace cost him $450,000 (GH¢7,360,942.50 with the exchange rate dated November 8, 2024), however, due to inflation, it is worth more now.

Miss Amihere, stunned by the gold chain's worth, probed him about how he could afford such expensive jewellery 10 years ago.

"I have been doing boutique business for over 25 years now. I change money into dollars, I travel outside to buy goods for my shop," he said in his defence.

When asked where he bought the giant gold necklace, GH Birdman, who named himself after American rapper Birdman, noted that he bought it abroad, specifically in Europe.

In the same interview, he noted that despite the gold chain's huge size, it was not heavy and emphasised that it was made out of pure gold.
