Earlier this year, word got out that Macklemore owned an oil painting of a naked Justin Bieber, with syrup dripping off his chest onto a pancake where his manhood should be.
Well, the paparazzi recently asked Macklemore about it, and he joked, “It’s an investment piece. I think that that painting is going to be worth a lot of money. I search eBay and Etsy for fine pieces of art.
“It cost me about $20, I’m pretty sure that the minute that the Justin Bieber album went #1, I’m pretty sure that painting went to about $30, $33. Do the math.” Then, he got serious and said he bought it for a ‘white elephant’ gift exchange, but the person left it at his studio, and so he just kept it.
