Lil Uzi Vert shocked the world with his new purchase.
In February, Philadelphia rapper Lil Uzi Vert was turning heads like never before. Unexpectedly, he flaunted a natural pink diamond he had implanted in his forehead by jeweler Elliot Eliantte. The stone, worth $24M, inspired plenty of memes and worldwide coverage. He even displayed it in a music video for his song “Movie” in March.
Suddenly, the diamond saga may already be over.
Just a few months later, it seems that Uzi has already moved on from the implant. In the past week, he has appeared in plenty of social media posts with his girlfriend, JT of City Girls. The couple even went on a highly publicized double date with Future and Dess Dior. Shockingly, the rock is absent from his forehead in all of the posts he’s appeared in. In fact, it looks as if it were never there.
Additionally, Uzi appeared in a recent Calvin Klein and Heron Preston campaign with plenty of jewelry around his neck, but none in his head.
Nobody is quite sure what happened to the pink stone. Maybe it will make another appearance in the future. However, it seems to be history for now.
