Fred Kerley expressed his gratitude to Snoop Dogg after the American rapper recently sent him a unique piece of jewelry as a present. The athlete’s appreciation for the gesture highlighted their friendship, demonstrating the profound relationships that can exist even when career paths diverge.
Kerley posted a photo on his Instagram story, showcasing himself holding a small red box containing an exquisite necklace. He expressed his heartfelt appreciation with a brief but emphatic message of thanks to the renowned rapper.
“THANK @SNOOPDOGG“
The package featured the brand King Ice along with a hashtag. It also had the name Death Row Records incorporated several times. In the photograph, the necklace, paired with a stunning 24-inch 8mm Miami Cuban chain, served as the captivating focal point, drawing attention with its exquisite design and presence.
It had a lobster clasp and measured 2.3″ in height and 1.4″ in breadth. The item’s construction material was brass, and it was plated with 14K gold for a luxurious and durable finish. Many white-colored VVS diamond simulants were also added to the jewelry to give it a more shiny appearance.
