Chris Brown's 'Kirby' necklace is throwing it back with old-school style. The singer was snapped getting out of his car with a sparkling Kirby hanging around his neck. Undoubtedly a huge fan of the classic [Nintendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powera-1) game, Brown isn't afraid to show his gamer pride.

Although this may be a strange accessory choice for Brown, you can't deny that this [Kirby necklace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/racer-worldwide-racerpods-necklace) is still super cute. Check out Chris Brown fronting this [classic Nintendo jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-and-godiva) piece in the featured gallery.
