N.O.R.E. has become a watch savant, but he will tell you he needed help. Speaking with the Wrist Check podcast, the Drink Champs leader revealed he checks in with JAY-Z before buying a watch.
“I won’t buy a watch unless I speak to certain people,” N.O.R.E. said. “JAY-Z’s top of the list. He does not answer me all the time. But I think that’s respect. I think that if he doesn’t like the watch, he won’t say, ‘N.O.R.E., don’t do that.’
“When I got the Nautilus and when I got the Aquanaut, I sent him both pictures. And his exact words were, ‘Get both them bitches’”
You can hear it from N.O.R.E. below.

In other Ye news, he has been sued by George Floyd’s daughter for $250 million. According to Complex, Ye is being sued for his fabricated comments about the death of George Floyd in an episode of the Drinks Champs podcast. Ye stated Floyd died from fentanyl use, not former officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on his neck.
Roxie Washington is acting on behalf of the sole beneficiary of Floyd’s estate, her minor child, to sue Ye. Washington is working alongside Witherspoon Law Group and Dixon & Dixon Attorneys at Law in seeking $250 million in damages.
“Kanye’s comments are a repugnant attempt to discount George Floyd’s life and to profit from his inhumane death,” attorney Pat D. Dixon III said.
Also named in the suit are Ye’s “business partners” and “associates.” The suit cites “harassment, misappropriation, defamation, and infliction of emotional distress.”
