Rapper and fashion icon Playboi Carti turned heads at the 2025 BET Awards with a jaw-dropping new accessory—a custom diamond-encrusted lollipop chain, designed by celebrity jeweler Alex Moss. The extravagant piece, dubbed the “Strawberry Diamond Lollipop,” blends high jewelry with playful whimsy, reinforcing Carti’s reputation as a trendsetter in both music and style.
A Sweet Statement in Diamonds
The one-of-a-kind lollipop features a pink diamond “candy” portion and a stem fully paved in white diamonds, meticulously crafted to resemble a real confection. Sized to fit in the palm of a hand, the intricate design showcases Moss’s signature bold craftsmanship. Though the exact price remains undisclosed, industry insiders estimate its value in the six-figure range.
A viral clip from Carti’s BET Awards performance captured the rapper playfully pretending to lick the jeweled lollipop, instantly sparking social media buzz. The stunt amplified the piece’s allure, merging luxury with Carti’s signature rebellious flair.
The Mastermind Behind the Bling
Alex Moss, the New York-based jeweler behind the creation, shared detailed images of the lollipop on his Instagram, where it quickly garnered thousands of likes. Known for his avant-garde designs for A-listers like Drake and Tyler, the Creator, Moss has built a reputation for pushing boundaries in custom jewelry.
“This piece is about fun meeting extravagance,” Moss told Vogue in a recent interview. “Carti’s style is fearless, and this lollipop captures that perfectly.”
A Growing Trend in Celebrity Jewelry
Carti’s latest flashy accessory follows a growing trend of unconventional high-end jewelry in hip-hop culture. From grillz shaped like cartoon characters to diamond-embellished everyday objects, artists are increasingly using jewelry as a form of artistic expression.
Fans and fashion critics alike are hailing the lollipop chain as a standout moment from this year’s BET Awards. As Carti continues to blur the lines between music, fashion, and art, one thing is clear: luxury has never looked so playful.
