Lil Uzi Vert recently revealed plans to reinstall the large pink diamond that once sat in the center of their forehead.
The jewel, estimated to be worth about $24 million, first made headlines when the artist had it implanted in 2021.
At the time, the unusual body modification stunned fans and quickly became one of the most recognizable images tied to the star. But the moment did not last long. Months later, during a performance at Rolling Loud, the diamond was pulled from their forehead while the rapper interacted with the crowd.
“I jumped into the crowd and they kind of ripped it out,” Uzi previously said. “But I still have the diamond, so I feel good.”

Now the “Just Wanna Rock” performer says they are considering bringing the look back with a few adjustments.
“I’ve been getting some stuff mocked up,” Uzi shared in a recent interview with Dazed. “I want to get two anchors to hold it in my head.”
The rapper explained that the rare stone holds deep personal value. “This one stone cost so much I’ve been paying for it since 2017,” Uzi said. “A lot of M’s in my face.”
For now, fans will have to wait and see when the diamond returns.
