Offset’s Lost $150K Chain During a Crowd Dive Became a Viral Jewelry Mystery

Offset, one-third of Migos and one of hip hop’s most stylish figures, has never been shy about showing off his diamond chains, iced-out watches, and extravagant lifestyle. But in 2021, one of his prized pieces — a $150,000 diamond Cuban link chain — was ripped off his neck during a crowd dive at a packed event.

The incident became one of the most dramatic jewelry losses in recent hip hop history — and no one ever found the chain.

🔥 What Really Happened

It went down during a wild performance at a nightclub in Miami. Offset, energized by the crowd, jumped into the audience mid-song. Within seconds, fans started grabbing at his shirt, arms… and chain.

The 18k white gold Cuban link, encrusted with VVS diamonds, slipped off his neck and disappeared into the crowd.

Security tried to lock off the section. Video clips went viral on social media showing fans diving to the floor, searching for the jewelry like it was a golden ticket.
