    Ben a cool ass dude. I remember meeting him years ago on Niketalk before the jewelry. Maybe 2003..2004 ish lol fuck im old. Insane shoe collection. We all saw him build it up and sell it. Fuckin crazy. The og Niketalk was like a myspace before MySpace. We were all posting rare shoes and diamond jewelry. Ben would be posting crazy pics with every celebrity u can think of . Lol wild shit u cant post today. Then Ben got into jewelry and i had wanted to get into jewelry as well. He gave me tons of advice and never asked for anything in return. Anytime i had questions..i could message him and he would message right back. He used to post all the jewelry he was making. Fuckin insane. Somewhere on some old laptop i got pics of Ben and his team making every piece. Pics of rhe Mariah pendant. Fat Joe. Double Game Chains. The Nas N Piece and restoring his old piece. Those were fun times!!

      He’s become very narcissistic and self absorbed. Anytime a guest mention someone he HAS to interject with “oh I’ve Interviewed him” or “ ya that’s my homie” or “funny story I never told before but we actually don’t get along” like nigga stfu. It has no relevance to the guest or his or hers story

So, I reached out to them to ask if it was an official NFL product & he got mad at me and blocked me. I don’t know why I even cared back then because these days I’ve bought items from the Dirt Label and that’s not official. Their Boyz N Da Hood shirt was awful, but their Kendrick Lamar Shirt during the battle was made well. It’s just the Discount Mall online for some items, but there’s actually a lot good unofficial items. Just like the Jordan Shirt Yayo wore. I’ll wear a dope shirt official or not these days. I don’t care. I’m picky about shoes & socks, but I’ll rock a shirt from the Cavier people and the Dirt Label.
