Back in the day, rappers took pride in their gold dookie rope and Cuban link chains. Gold was cheaper by the ounce then, so wannabe rappers had no trouble keeping up with their weekly payments to the trunk jewelry dealers.
Then along came rap tycoon Sean Combs, aka Puff Daddy, who changed the game with his diamond baguette bracelets, iced out pendant necklaces, and Rolex watches. Puffy made diamond bling a perquisite to baller status.
Fake wannabe rappers had to sell more weight on the corners just to keep up with Puffy and his crew. They couldn’t afford to purchase their luxury goods from authorized dealers.
The rappers found their answer in a friend of a friend who was a dealer of cheap knock off timepieces. They could pay $3,000 for a $30,000 watch.
For a while hip hop was flooded with fake Audemars Piguet, Rolex and Hublot watches that ran on batteries. But now an anonymous Instagram user is exposing celebrities with fake watches, such as Future, Ciara, Carmelo Anthony, Rick Ross, Waka Flocka Flame, and Lil Scrappy.
From Allhiphop.com:
After first exposing non-celebrities with fake watches on Instagram, the European who goes by “The Horological Batman” started pointing out celebrities that attempted to pass off knock-offs as real. THB talked about busting Carmelo Anthony and receiving threats of legal action against him.
“I get a cease and desist letter almost once a week. Instagram shut down my first account after I busted Carmelo Anthony with a fake Audemars Piguet and a fake Panerai,” said the self-described “watch geek”. “He is clean now but there was a lot of drama with his sponsors after I exposed his replicas.”
FakeWatchBusta got back up on the site and started targeting rappers.
Buy her a real watch? In re to Sundy Carter? How about Larry buy her azz some self respect and/or some common SENSE.
Fugg a real watch.
Auntie, aren’t you a watch aficionado?
Really, I hope they did not spend a lot of money on these fake watches.
I bet this dude gets zero puzzy.
Puffy made diamond bling a perquisite to baller status.

Did he? Well I wouldn’t know. Never did like that nig
How about spending your money on more important stuff? Investments, a home, a business…something. A damn watch. Yeah good luck with that.

I can’t wait for the other pages to pop off though. Fake J’s, Butts, Breast, Handbags cause the list for a Berkin is super long and has been since like 98 and everybody has one
That’s just like fake purses. What is the point?? I aint never understand that shyt
I follow this account on instagram and he is always going in.

Man I got me a cubic zirconia bracelet from Banana Republic some time ago…shyt still like brand new
Glistens in the sun and errythang..fukk ima go broke for a real diamond bracelet for? For who? For a nigga to pull a caper on me?!
No thanks… I stay in my lane and be great. Them pretentious losers?
$3000 on fake watch, are you crazy? Who does that?
Remember I had certain bag and this chic asked if she see the inside of the bag. Was confused as to why….Later she threw it in my face that I was making her feel bad, cause her wasn’t. BISH you asked to see the inside.

Nah, Birkins and hell Hermes in general has depreciated in value, they sell them plain ass bags on rue la la, gilt, and whatever discount online boutiques….
Honestly I really don’t get the hype with those and them Celine bags. I saw them both in Va and I was like…these shyts are so plain looking its STOOPID how much one would pay for it…same with Givenchy. Bag looked like it was made in the same factory as Forever 21, but they slap their name on it.
I will say YSL has some great bags, them and Chloe
and FUKK Louis Vuitton.
Shyt I likes clothes
Clothes, Clothes, and more clothes. Ok and accessories and shoes. I got a prob, but I’m a bargain shopper 
Fake bags kill me especially fake Coach and MK bags cause you can catch a sale, use a Macy’s one day pass or hit the outlet site and ball to you fall.

It might not be $3,000 though because she was cutting byke, It was probably more like $4,000 but we can use it as a point of reference

Exactly. Let me not even front and act like I am balling. I have nice bags, but they were on sale or from the outlet, or ones my momma had from the 80’s. I have more important stuff to pay for. Shoot, my kids like to eat and shyt. lol. But if you can afford it, then ball out. I’m not gonna be all out of my lane and then can’t pay my bills.

I am a fitness instructor *mumbles* but I am a little greedy 
I don’t know about anyone else, but what this tells me is that the people who can likely AFFORD to spend that kind of money on certain $hit – DON’T, while people who CAN’T afford it, go broke trying to buy it because they THINK their favorite celebrity has one and they took their long money to buy the fake one while you’re waiting on taxes to buy the real one.
I’m all for buying what you LIKE and I have middle of the road taste. Definitely don’t do cheap, and I have some things that are considered expensive to ME, but average to most celebrities like $1400 shoes, BUT I buy that kind of stuff because I LIKE it and had to have it – not because I saw someone else with it AND I could afford it.
Hip Hop been rockiN fake stuff .. All the Gucci, MCM, Chanel, Louis V etc they was wearing back in the early 90″s all made by a Guy in NY who could replicate the logo’s and designs. But of course we didnt know it wasnt authenic and dummys out buying the real deal making these designer labels more rich off our money , trying to be like the rappers … And they was all wearing Fake stuff….. SMH Trying to keep up with the Joneses. Check out the documentary “Planet Rock , the story of the Hip Hop and Crack generation” its on youtube
