Lil Uzi shows off his pink diamond
In related news, Briefly News reported in February 2020, Lil Uzi showed that one could put their money on the forehead and show off how much they are worth.
This was after the rapper implanted the $24 million natural pink diamond on his forehead and arguably had the most expensive head in the world.
Uzi had, in January 2021, told fans that he had finally cleared payment on a diamond from Elliot Eliantte, which took him since 2017 to do so.
He said it was the first time he had seen a natural pink diamond, and it was almost 11 carats, with each going for $2 million.
He shared videos while in the studio flaunting his new piece of jewellery, which he noted was yet to heal fully.
The expensive piece appeared attached at the top end, allowing it to move a bit, making it a bit easier to carefully remove it.
His new style saw many mimic him. Celebs like Tory Lanez ridiculed the move by attaching expensive jewellery to his forehead.
