Buys his big ass chain and world record pendant in 2007 as a publicity stunt for his upcoming album Crunk Rock. However due to the bankruptcy of his record label, the release of his album was delayed in June, 2008 and only sold 15,000 copies in the United States.
A $500K chain “investment” for revenues of about $15,500 on his three-year too late Crunk Rock album.
“I got the chain as a message for the haters! You know how they said ‘Punk ain’t dead’ or ‘Rock and roll is dead’ ? They tryin’ to write me off, so I got this diamond pendant with a thick ass gold chain.” — Lil’ Jon
Even through…
- his record label, TVT, bankrupted in 2008.
- his Crunk Rock record only sold 14,000 copies in 2010.
- only make $40,000 from Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice in 2011.
- And we never heard of him ever since.
Draw your own conclusion.
I don’t doubt the value of his wonderful Bling but I doubt his financial health.
