COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) – Rapper Plies gifted the University of South Carolina’s (USC) women’s basketball head coach Dawn Staley an icy chain ahead of the team’s first round of the NCAA tournament.
What U Exemplify & Stand For As A Person Is What I’m A Fan Of,” Plies wrote in an Instagram post. “The Wins & Losses Isn’t What Drew Me To U. But Your Purpose & Who U Are As A Person Did!! This World Is So Blessed To Have U.”
The large, diamond crusted charm on the chain resembled a glittery replica of the NCAA trophy with the years 2017, 2022 and 2024 on it — the years the team won the national championship.
On the backside, along with Staley’s name and photo, it was inscribed with the text, “‘God is within her. She will not Fail.’ Psalm 46:50.″
“I know you didn’t gift me this piece of treasure for anything but love.” Staley wrote to Plies on her Instagram page along with a photo collage of the chain. “Thank you for your love, your support & your organic belief in @GamecockWBB. I’ll wear it proudly knowing our mission.”
