This necklace the reason
All of my dates been blind dates

from Jay-Z (Ft. Beyoncé) – '03 Bonnie & Clyde Lyrics on Rap Genius

Jay-Z is fond of these kind of puns about the amount of shiny stones in his jewelry. The man did, after all, write a love song to diamonds

Another, more subtle meaning is there too — all of his would-be paramours never had as much bling as him; he didn’t want them to see him for his money but him for his true self, hence, again, the blind dates

This line is reminiscent of another classic Hov necklace-related one-liner, from 1998:

Said she loved my necklace, started relaxing
Now that’s what the fuck I call a chain reaction
