Lil Uzi Vert has $24 MILLION diamond embedded in his forehead

Lil Uzi Vert has always been flamboyant when it comes to his appearance. He has never been shy about his tattoos, piercings, clothes, cars, etc. He took this to a new level recently by having a $24 MILLION (!!) pink diamond implanted into his forehead. Yup, right in between his eyes. $24 million. Forehead. Implanted.

Uzi took to Instagram to show off his flashy new bling from popular celebrity jeweler Elliot Eliantte, captioning the reveal “beauty is pain.” This statement rang even more true after he tweeted a picture of blood running from the piercing.

The since-deleted Tweet left fans worried after Uzi also revealed that he could die if the diamond was not removed properly. Yikes.

I am usually all for artists expressing themselves; I think it’s healthy part of the creative process. However, this seems a little extravagant, even for someone as extravagant as Lil Uzi Vert. To spend $24 million just to end up looking like Vision from The Avengers seems like an exorbitant waste of money to me.

I sincerely hope that he moves carefully going forward before someone pulls a Thanos and snatches it right out of his head.
