Lil Uzi Vert, one of hip-hop’s most notoriously flamboyant artists, has outfitted his forehead with an ostentatious piece of jewelry worth tens of millions of dollars.


On Wednesday, Feb. 03, 2021, the rapper born 26 years ago in Philadelphia as Symere Bysil Woods stunted with a new piercing: a reported $24 million pink diamond in the middle of his forehead.


Lil Uzi premiered the grandiose jewel for his 13 million Instagram followers.

Vert’s caption for the video was appropriately worded “𝕭𝖊𝖆𝖚𝖙𝖞 𝖎𝖘 𝖕𝖆𝖎𝖓 💎💕®️,” as it looks like the new piercing caused more than a little discomfort.

On Saturday, Jan. 30, Lil Uzi teased his fans on Twitter, informing them he has been paying down on the $24 million natural pink stone since 2017. “It’s 10 almost 11 carats,” he said at the time.

After getting clowned on Twitter and Instagram, Lil Uzi posted an IG story to repel the haters of his new facial ornament.

“Y’all keep talking about it’s off, it still has a long bar in it so it can move ‘cause of the swelling,” he said. “When it goes down, it gon’ be right there.”

In these precarious times of joblessness and food deserts and a pandemic, Lil Uzi showed that he is well off enough to pay for such exorbitant extravagances. In 2020, his second studio album, Eternal Atake, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts. Then a week later, he dropped Eternal Atake (Deluxe) — LUV vs. the World 2, which is a sequel to his 2016 mixtape Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World.
