Fans were not feeling those prices.

Drake is someone who lives a life of luxury. Overall, this is mostly due to the fact that he can actually afford it. Although he may not be the richest rapper in the world, he still has hundreds of millions of dollars to his name. Furthermore, he is someone who enjoys the finer things in life. From watches to shoes to cars to colognes, Drake likes it all. Additionally, back in 2019, he bought himself a private jet for just under $200 million. This jet was dubbed "Air Drake" and it continues to patrol the skies.

Now, however, Drake is looking to turn "Air Drake" into much more than a plane. In a new post from the Drake Related Instagram page, it was revealed that the artist would be dropping a new line of luxury goods. This is all part of the celebration for the four-year anniversary of Drizzy getting his new ride. Interestingly, there will be a bathrobe, a blanket, a sleeping mask, and even some socks. Although, the prices are ridiculous. For instance, the mask is $995 USD. Additionally, the socks are $415 while the bathrobe and blanket cost thousands.

Air Drake Continues Its Luxury Streak

As you can imagine, a lot of people are finding these prices to be absolutely laughable. Although the socks are made out of hand-spun cashmere, $415 for any kind of piece of clothing is just ridiculous. In the tweets down below, you can see exactly how people felt about this. "Nah Drake releasing $400 socks and a $4000 robe is wild and some crazy stans are going to purchase that, thats why I put him on my Top 5 crazy stans list smh," one user wrote. "Drake gotta be outta his dam mind selling 1 pair of socks for $415," said another.

Twitter Reacts

Ultimately, there are going to be a ton of people looking to cop these. The artist is one of the biggest stars in the world, and when he drops new merch, people line up for it. Moreover, it is kind of a flex to say that you own a pair of socks for that much money. Whether or not this latest endeavor does, indeed, end up working for the artist, still remains to be seen.
