Kid Cudi Wore $1.6 Million ‘SPACE’ Chain to Met Gala

Kid Cudi boldly went where no man has gone before at the 2021 Met Gala … with damn near a couple million in bling hanging from his neck!!!

The “Man On the Moon” artist was decked out in a vibrant Louis Vitton getup for the event, but the centerpiece of the look was his not-so-little man on the moon … an opulent, one-of-a-kind piece designed by Ben Baller and KAWS.

We’re told the chain and pendant — museum quality diamond work titled “SPACE” — is a whopping $1,600,000 piece … featuring more than 24,000 clarity E color diamonds, and more than a kilo in 18k rose gold.

The celeb jeweler says, “This is the most detailed and intricate piece of jewelry I’ve ever created in my entire career,” adding that he had to shut down his entire factory for 3 months to focus on completing it.

The piece is a miniature take on Kaws’ famous “Holiday Space” astronaut figure, and Baller says the pendant’s backpack has a secret compartment where Cudi can keep weed — or other small stuff — in it.
