Watson in the bath with £20 notes all over him
A brazen drug dealer has been JAILED for seven years after being snared by Instagram pics showing off his champagne lifestyle.
Levi Watson posted boasting snaps on the social media site featuring Lamborghinis, Rolex watches, a bath full of cash and a Premier League footballer.
Watson, 29, was jailed for his role in a DRUGS ring supplying cocaine and heroin, as part of a huge drugs bust by West Midlands Police.
Dealers in the ring have received sentences of more than 130 years behind bars between them.
In snaps and videos posted on his Instagram page, which has more than 4,500 followers, Watson regularly boasted about his lavish lifestyle abroad despite telling cops he had no steady income and lived in Wolverhampton.

In a series of pictures taken six weeks ago, he is seen enjoying a helicopter ride and posing on the bonnet of a white Ferrari.
Another snap shows him relaxing in a bubble bath surrounded by £20 notes.
Another image, featuring three watches wrapped around a Porsche Panamera gear stick, is captioned: "Have you seen a 100k well if you haven't this what a hundred k plus look like."
A third image, showing a gold watch surrounded by Jamaican thousand dollar bills, is captioned: "When your sitting on over quarter of a million but you tell them it's pennies."
Despite being jailed last Friday, Watson has been posting on his Instagram account as recently as Tuesday evening.
In one post, alongside a picture of rapper Bobby Shmurda, gloating Watson said: "They gave me Shmurda years, I smiled at the judge when he said 7."
He was making reference to Shmurda, from Brooklyn, USA, who last week was also sentenced to seven years in prison for conspiracy and gun possession charges.
He is also pictured with Premier League footballer Andre Gray, who plays for Burnley, partying in Marbella.
The footballer was praised by drug-dealing Watson for winning the Championship player of the year last year in one post where he described him as "family".
As well as his Instagram exploits, Watson has also had several rap music videos made under his music name Prezi.

His most popular song about drug dealing and bathing in money, entitled Hells Kitchen (Gordon Ramsay), has been watched more than 27,000 times on YouTube.
Watson, from Orslow Walk, Park Village, was jailed for his drug dealing last week, alongside 12 others. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply Class A drugs.
Richard Chapman, aged 22, from Ellerton Walk, Park Village, Wolverhampton, was sentenced to five years while Adam Whiteley, 35, of Wheatsheaf Road, Oldbury, was sentenced to eight years.
The other 10 sentenced were from Birmingham and Nottingham, including ring leader Asmirald Miraka, 25, from Margaret Grove, Harborne, who was locked up for 16 years and three months.
Detective Constable Warren Moore, from West Midlands Police's Serious and Organised Crime Unit, said: "This was a sophisticated operation involving large amounts of cocaine and heroin.
"Drugs can ruin lives and communities and these sentences should act as a strong warning that those involved in such crime will feel the full force of the law."
West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner David Jamieson said: "Hopefully the memory of his cash-filled bath and pink champagne will keep him warm at night while he spends the next seven years behind bars."
