Alright, let’s gab about this… what’s it called? Nicki Minaj Richard Mille, yeah, that fancy watch thing.
First off, who’s this Nicki? Sounds like one of them city girls, all dolled up and whatnot. Anyways, this watch, they say it’s a Richard Mille. Sounds foreign, probably cost a pretty penny.
Now, I ain’t never seen a watch worth more than a good cow, but they tellin’ me this thing costs near a million dollars! A million! Lord have mercy, what kinda fool spends that much on something just to tell time? My old rooster does a better job, and he don’t need no batteries.
- They say it’s pink, all sparkly and stuff.
- “Pink Sapphire” they call it. Sounds like somethin’ a princess would wear, not a hard-workin’ woman like me.
And get this, they only made eight of ’em in the whole wide world! Eight! What’s the point of havin’ somethin’ nobody else can get? Seems mighty lonely to me. I’d rather have a good ol’ quilt, plenty warm and everyone can use it.
This Nicki girl, she’s a rapper, they say. Rappin’, huh? Sounds like a whole lotta noise to me. But I guess if you make enough noise, you can afford a watch that costs more than my whole farm. Makes you think, don’t it?
Folks keep talkin’ ’bout this watch on the internet. That “inter-whatsit” thingamajig. My grandbaby tries to explain it to me, but it’s all gibberish. Seems like everyone’s got their eyes glued to them little screens these days. They’re lookin’ at pictures of Nicki and her watch, talkin’ ’bout how much it costs and how pretty it is. Well, I got a picture of my prize-winning pumpkin right here on my wall, and that’s prettier if you ask me. And it feeds the whole family!
Benny the Jeweler, they say, made a special somethin’ for this Nicki too. A pendant, maybe? Jewelers, always makin’ shiny things. Give me a good strong hammer and some nails any day. You can build somethin’ useful with that, not just somethin’ to look at.
They even got folks on this…uh… “Insta-gram” thing, postin’ pictures of watches. Watchescelebrities, they call themselves. Imagine that, spendin’ your days takin’ pictures of other people’s fancy watches. Don’t they got nothin’ better to do? I got chickens to feed, cows to milk, garden to tend. Ain’t got no time for watch-watching.
And this Nicki, she’s the “Queen of Rap.” Queen, huh? Well, I ain’t never seen a queen wearin’ somethin’ so… flashy. Queens should be strong, kind, leadin’ their people. Not showin’ off how much money they got. But then again, maybe queens are different these days. Maybe they all wear million-dollar watches and rap.
They keep sayin’ Nicki’s gettin’ ready to come back. Back to what, I don’t know. Maybe she went on vacation, took that fancy watch with her. Probably got someone else to carry it for her, though. Can’t be breakin’ a sweat with a million dollars on your wrist. Anyway, she’s gonna talk on that “Insta-live” thing. Live, huh? Like she ain’t alive already? City folks sure are strange.
They’re always talkin’ ’bout the most expensive watch brands. Patek Philippe, they say, is the priciest. Then there’s this Richard Mille fella and some others… Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet. Sounds like a bunch of rich fellas makin’ toys for other rich fellas. Me, I stick with my Timex. Keeps good time, and I ain’t afraid to get it dirty.
So, this Nicki Minaj Richard Mille watch… it’s expensive, it’s pink, it’s rare. And it’s got everyone talkin’. But to me, it’s just a watch. A fancy, overpriced watch. I’d rather have a good pair of boots any day. They’ll get you farther, that’s for sure.
And you know what else? Time keeps on tickin’, no matter how much money you spend on a watch to tell it. That’s somethin’ rich folks and poor folks both gotta understand. So, you go ahead and wear your fancy watches, Nicki. I’ll stick with the sun and the rooster. They tell me what time it is just fine.
