Rap star Lil Uzi could be forced to remove a pink diamond he recently had implanted into his forehead. The Philly rap star took to Instagram to show a photo of blood pouring from behind the diamond, which is right between his eyes.
“If I don’t get it took out the right way I could die…no seriously,” he wrote on Twitter.

Uzi recently had the $24 million piece of jewelry surgically inserted between his eyes by celebrity jeweler Elliot Eliantte. Uzi revealed he had been saving since 2017 to purchase the 11-carat, flawless pink diamond after he fell in love with the stone.
“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,” Lil Uzi boasted.

On February 3rd, he showcased the results of the surgical procedure to have the diamond planted into his forehead.
Lil Uzi’s $24 million flex drew mixed results. Some of his fans praised him for making a fashion statement, while others felt he had may have signed his own death warrant for having such a valuable jewel embedded into his face.

However, the harshest critic may have been Houston, Texas rapper Sauce Walka.
Sauce accused Uzi of biting his style, in a scathing post shortly after the Eternal Atake rapper went public with the “pink diamond in his forehead” stunt.
In December of 2020, Sauce Walka revealed he had undergone the knife, to have a $250,000 three-carat diamond implanted under his left eye.
