Popcaan Flexes Iced-Out ‘Grillz’ After J$21 Million Pay Day
Popcaan just copped new iced-out ‘grillz’ to complement his growing jewelry collection.
The Dancehall star took to Instagram to show off the new accessory, which features 8 diamond-studded caps covering his lower teeth.
“Cocaine money,” he bragged, in reference to his latest song, which was inspired by his pending litigation against the Jamaica Constabulary Force.
‘Grillz’ peaked in popularity in the late 80s and early 90s, but according to a Rolling Stone article yesterday, they’re making a come back.
“Lil Nas X and A$AP Rocky are flaunting them in their new videos. Robert Pattinson is showing off his own custom-made set on magazine covers, and Madonna — who is never one to miss out on a trend — is touting hers on The Tonight Show,” the publication wrote, in a profile of the most sought-after jewelers, who are leading the trend.
Popcaan’s new bling comes after it was revealed that he was paid over $J22 million for a show in Toronto, earlier this month.
His other recent purchase is an oversized “876 Gud” chain.
Meanwhile, the Family deejay was also recently spotted toasting “to prosperity” with Drake and his entourage at the rapper’s Toronto home. The gathering was to celebrate the earth strong of Popcaan’s friend, Guru.
“I hope that God bless you with all your heart desires in life, and the whole family endorse you,” Poppy said in the toast. “6 God (Drake) deh yah so, and the whole family, more life to you youth. Give thanks, joy, and prosperity,” he added.
“More life,” the men responded.

Drake was also seen on his Instagram Story this week (Tuesday, August 16) flexing some newly acquired iced-out jewels. Champagne Papi picked up a shiny new Richard Millie watch and “The Godfather Ring” featuring 18k white gold and oval diamonds from famed jeweler Alex Moss to celebrate a legendary Billboard milestone.
Drizzy’s Staying Alive single with DJ Khaled and Lil Baby debuted at No. 5 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100, which means that the God’s Plan rapper has now had 30 top five singles on the chart, surpassing The Beatles’ long-held record of 29 that stood firm for 55 years. According to Billboard, Drake’s latest achievement also means he’s had 100 top 20 entries on the Hot 100 — more than any other artist in the chart’s 64-year history.
“100 in the top 20 I can’t do the rubber strap with that stat line,” Drake captioned the video.
