The origin of the hat is unclear, but online sleuths have uncovered an interesting clue. A seller calling himself PabloEscobarEstate once listed a green Boston Celtics hat on eBay and marketed it as a genuine Escobar item. It came with a document signed by Pablo’s brother Roberto Escobar.
The now archived listing reads, “This Boston Celtics hat was once personally owned and used by the infamous Pablo Escobar.” The details allow either purchase at a fixed price or negotiation. While the seller reportedly accepted an offer in January, he did not disclose the final price.
Drake’s takeover has sparked debate about his admiration for Escobar, with some fans praising his adventurous taste and others criticizing his apparent glorification of a violent man. The rapper’s latest purchases further enhance his reputation as a connoisseur of unique memorabilia.
Notorious cartel boss Pablo Escobar, immortalized in Narcos, was shot dead by authorities in Medellín in 1993. His enduring presence in popular culture is evident, notably referenced in Kanye West’s 2016 album, The Life of Pablo, which celebrates its eighth anniversary this month.
