Post Malone Tells Story of Lost and Recovered Diamond

On Monday (Oct. 2), Esquire debuted its new cover story featuring Post Malone where the rapper spoke about his latest album, Austin, life on the road and his future plans. During the interview, the rhymer also opened up about the time he dropped a $600,000 diamond fang in the sewer while eating Chicken McNuggets during a tour stop in Rome.

"I had the left one in my hand, and I dropped it right into the sink hole," he told the publication. "I’m like, 'F**k, man, I’m going to have to go into the ancient Roman sewers.' "

Luckily, Post revealed he used MacGuyver-like methods to retrieve the diamond tooth ornament, which included a pair of pliers and a takeout-pizza tripod.
