Ace Hood on Rolex Malfunction at the BET Awards: “I Definitely Had to Fire the Jeweler”
Posted by Mr.North under Interviews , New Music , Quotes[9] Comments

Ace Hood caught attention worldwide on social media outlets, but not for his music. The YMCMB/We the Best artist was the hot topic during Sunday night’s BET Awards after the bezel from his Rolex watch fell off during a pre-show interview with Bow Wow and Angela Simmons. Immediately after the watch malfunction, the accusations of wearing fake jewelry and jokes online poured in. Athletes and artists know for their own not-so-good publicity moments also chimed in.
Durng a visit to Power 106 L.A. on Tuesday afternoon, Ace spoke with The Los Angeles Leakers about the moment.
“When you spend so much money on a watch, certain things are not supposed to happen. My jeweler, I definitely had to fire the jeweler. He going through it, man.
I spent $60,000 on that watch, man. I was just as shocked as everybody else was when it did happen. It never happened to any of my other watches or anything. I looked up. I ain’t even know what it was. I figured it was my bracelet. It wasn’t no thing, though. For it to happen right then in that moment, I was like, ‘You could have happened anywhere else. I just performed. I just ripped down the stage, everything. But you chose to let it be there,’ that’s how I know the Devil be working.”
Lesson learned, select your jewelers wisely.

-_- We all know the watch was fake. STOP IT FAM!
Their is no shame in wearing fake jewelry. Why spend thousands of dollars on nonsense your only going to wear once in a while. It’s better to save your money and spend it on things that matter.

No way a $60k watch falls apart like that. Either your jeweler robbed you, or that is a fake watch and you know it.

yep. The Devil made the watch fall off but didn’t make him spit garbage ass raps that mindnumb his community. This is of course the retardation, nonsensical and innate hypocrisy that is religion.

I believe the watch was real. Most of you just want a reason to talk about someone that isnt worried about you. Get paid first and live well before you talk about someone thats doing better then you. Ace is getting paid and living his life, instead of bitching about what he got and what he aint got….what do you have
