Lil Uzi Vert, an American rapper, has finally made good his promise to implant a pink diamond worth millions of dollars into his foreh
The rapper spent the past four years paying for the nearly “10 to 11 carats” natural pink diamond worth $24 million
He is renowned for his proclivity for splashing exorbitant amounts of money on watches, clothes, cars, and all types of jewelry.
But he took his love for the good things of life to another level on January 30 when he announced that he had just finished paying Elliot Eliantte, his jewelry designer, to acquire the expensive diamond since he started doing the payment in 2017.
“I’ve been paying for a natural pink diamond from Elliot for years now . This one stone cost so much I’ve been paying for it since 2017. That was the first time I saw a real natural pink diamond. A lot of M’s in my face,” he had written.
He had also stated that the diamond costs more than he has ever spent on cars as well as his home.
“Yes my Bugatti can’t even pay for it … all my cars together, plus home, this took so long now I can get this money,” he had replied a fan while explaining the worth of the diamond.
In series of posts on his social media pages on Wednesday, the ‘XO Tour Llif3’ crooner said he had eventually implanted the diamond on his forehead.
In another development, he could be seen in a video shared on his Instagram page flaunting the pink diamond while dancing to a song. He had accompanied the video with a brief post reading ‘beauty is pain’.
The entertainer also shared other clips on his Instagram Stories, with one of them simply captioned “true” — a response to the curiosity over whether or not he had carried out the implant.
The development has since ignited an excess of mixed reactions on social media, especially Twitter.
“I am fine with Lil Uzi Vert having a forehead diamond but the forehead diamond being off-centre is unforgivable,” a user wrote.
