Lil Uzi Vert showed off his pink diamond forehead implant on Wednesday (February 3) that allegedly came with a whopping $24 million price tag. But fans on The Shade Room‘s post couldn’t help but notice it looked slightly off-center and comments such as “why it crooked” started popping up left and right.
In one of his Instagram Stories, posted shortly after news of his new accessory began making the rounds, the platinum-selling rapper emphatically denied there was anything wrong with the position of his lavish purchase.
“It’s actually in the middle,” he says. “It’s in the middle. I just got a long bar in it because I just got it pierced. When the swelling go down I’ll get a short bar so it won’t move. Y’all keep talking about it off because I got a long bar in it so it can move ’cause of the swelling. When it go down, it gonna be right though.”
Lil Uzi announced he was getting the diamond implant in a series of tweets on January 30, explaining he’d been on a payment plan with celebrity jeweler Elliot Eliantte since 2017.
