Why don't rappers understand that wearing tons of jewelry makes them look broke?

i worked at an apartment complex where we had REAL rich people living. i'm not talking about nickel and diming drug dealers or rappers with a few g's in the bank. i'm talking about people with generational wealth. they would own real estate in different areas of the country and they played the stock market. i mean, the real deal. these people wore beat up sneakers and even bought some of their clothes at target. they bought nice toys and clothes for their kids, but they didn't break the bank on $100 shoes for their kids. i get so sick of watching rappers on tv wearing thousand dollar chains when they really don't have any real wealth. its just like when puffy started he was wearing shiny suits, but when the real money started to roll in, he switched up to designer duds that were toned down. am i the only one tired of seeing broke rappers (and broke people in general) trying to pretend to be rich by wearing their "wealth"? is it me, or does it just reek of desperation?
