This was basically an ad for Rolex. I'm sure the DJ didn't pay for them or at least got them at an incredible discount in return for this sponsored content. You would be amazed at how many posts by celebrities on Instagram are not only sponsored ads but the amount they are paid for them.

The DJ was also assuredly paid for whatever bottle of wine that was he clearly showed in this video.

I'm not a big fan of DJK but this is a nice gesture by him, pretty sweet to have a Rolex gifted to you for being a good friend.

I dont think Rolex sponsors or endorses ANY rapper. They are not into that.

And another shoutout to how good of a businessman he is. That bottle is probably owned by his company and/or record label. Its free advertising for himeself.

Just the same way Birdman advertises GTV Vodka or P Diddy advertises Ciroc. Same thing its just good business of course you would take the opportunity to promote your own beverage label. Thats why they are successful - you think rappers arent that bright but some of them are the most business minded ppl.

Just look at Dr Dre, P Diddy and Master P.

You could very well be right about him having ownership in that bottle.

But I also guarantee you there was a sponsorship side to that Rolex part.

Would have been cooler if he did it privately rather than as a "look what such a good guy I am" stunt...

I dunno, to me if it was just for the guys and not to self promote then there shouldn't be a video.

My opinion could be an indication that I am getting old though lol.
