Lil Uzi and his diamond implant have sparked so much conversation on the internet lately, and he finally took the time to explain the inspiration behind getting it in the first place. While speaking with Fat Joe Thursday night, Uzi shared how the whole thing went down.
Uzi spoke about purchasing the $24 million diamond, his experience at the jeweler and some of his other iced out pieces. Most importantly, he explained how he came to the decision to get the diamond implanted into his forehead.
“Imma be real. So I’m picking out the diamond and we were gonna put it in a ring,” Uzi explained. “But imma be honest, I’m Lil Uzi, I’m turnt up so $24 million on a ring is the stupidest idea because imma look down and that ring ain’t gon’ be there. I know me, I wake up in odd places and difference sceneries.”
Initially, he thought about getting the diamond as a dermal in the corner of his eye, but decided against that because it would be much heavier than the jewelry he had there before. After a little more thought, he told the jeweler he wanted the diamond in the middle of his forehead, and Uzi said he was definitely met with some push back.
“You know what, I wanna put it right here,” Uzi said while pointing to his forehead. “They said ‘you wanna put it right there?’ Bro don’t think it was just a ‘let’s go take his money’ nah they argued me down. It’s almost insane to the average person or to any person. But you know, I’m Lil Uzi Vert.”
Do y’all think Uzi should’ve opted for the ring instead, Roomies? Let us know in the comments!
