A lot of people might give you modest answers like – donate it to a charity, opt for a smart investment etc. Then again, the truth of the matter is, we all know that we’ll spend at least some amount of that wealth indulging ourselves with unnecessary purchases. Just like this up and coming rapper did.
For Lil Uzi Vert, the unnecessary purchase that we’re talking about presents itself in the form of a natural pink diamond that he plans to have embedded in his forehead. Nope, we’re not kidding.

Rapper Lil Uzi Vert is known for his hit songs, namely Free Uzi and For Real. He announced this bizarre news on Twitter earlier this weekend, explaining to his fans that he’s been collecting money for this piece since 2017 and that it has cost him a whopping total of $24 million.
This announcement has left many of his fans and Twitter users perplexed as to how the hitmaker could even afford such a luxurious purchase, to begin with. When he was asked bluntly how he’s being able to afford the big blingy diamond –
Here’s what Lil Uzi Vert had to say:
“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.“
As you can tell, the man’s been saving up for this unique piece for more than three years now. He also told another Twitter user that he ‘will never do it again’ and that this is by far his most expensive purchase.
Well, the deets are slightly murky whether the rapper has undergone the luxurious procedure to have the pink diamond implant. Although one image shared on January 30th, showed the stone held to his head with the caption: ‘It’s time.’
According to Uzi, the diamond is almost 11 carats. That means it won’t go unnoticed on his face.
Uzi will be obtaining the diamond from Elliot Eliantte. The latter has reportedly helped rappers with some impressive pieces in the past.
One fan also asked Uzi why didn’t just have the diamond put into a ring and then wear it. Here’s what the rapper said –
To end the conversation, he also assured his fans that he does ‘have insurance’ in case he loses accessory or it causes him any trouble.
