Houston rapper Paul Wall is all about that gold. And as it turns out, that silver and that bronze, too. He noticed that Team USA, just finished with a big medal haul in the Summer Olympics, might have that inclination, too.
So, his company is offering a custom gold grill to all medal winners. For free.
Wall is well-known for his grillz, and he needs no provocation to flash them. So well-known, in fact, that he and business partner/jeweler-to-the-stars Johnny Dang started supplying a celebrity and high-end clientele with those and custom jewelry. And a business boomed.
According to several reports including TMZ, Johhny Dang and Co. sent a letter with the salutation "Dear 2016 Olympians." In it, the company expresses pride at watching the athletes compete for the country and wants to congratulate them with the offering.
"Please enjoy your tremendous accomplishment, and contact us at your earliest convenience to receive your free gold grill."
It's signed with much love by "@TVJohnny, @PaulWallbaby, and @DiamondBoyz713."
The grill is "an upper" and will be made with 18K gold. The Olympics logo is front and center. According to Uproxx, the duo made this offer to gold-medal winners in 2012. (Of course, the company is behind Ryan Lochte's controversial American flag grill.)
For love of country, indeed. One hopes fellow Texans, including gymnasts Simone Biles and Madison Kocian, swimmer Simone Manuel and Ovilla shot putter Michelle Carter will take him up on it. And then take a picture. Together. Oh, say can you bling?
