US rapper Lil Uzi Vert has made the decision to part ways with the pink diamond that was previously encrusted on his forehead.
The Philadelphia rapper gained widespread attention when he had the 11-carat $24 million gem implanted on his forehead, but it seems that he has now taken it out.
In recent photos and videos, the rapper has been spotted without the $24 million rock.
In an Instagram Story posted by Uzi’s girlfriend JT, the couple is seen dancing and kissing, but the diamond is nowhere to be seen.
Uzi also shared photos of himself in a City Girls “Twerkulator” T-shirt, and once again, the diamond on his forehead is missing.
Back in February, Lil Uzi Vert made headlines when he had the gem implanted in the middle of his forehead, proudly discussing its magical powers. “I can’t believe I got this Stone either moving super different now,” he tweeted.
However, the stone embedding came with its share of pain when he revealed the bloody injury he suffered while attempting to affix it to his skull.
“If I don’t get it taken out the right way, I could die,” said Uzi.
He purchased the diamond from jewelry designer Elliot Eliantte. It was so expensive that it took four years to pay off. According to Uzi, it cost more than his home and all his cars combined, including his Bugatti.
“I’ve been paying for a natural pink diamond from Elliot for years now,” he tweeted. “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.”
