At the time, the unusual body modification stunned fans and quickly became one of the most recognizable images tied to the star. But the moment did not last long. Months later, during a performance at Rolling Loud, the diamond was pulled from their forehead while the rapper interacted with the crowd.
“I jumped into the crowd and they kind of ripped it out,” Uzi previously said. “But I still have the diamond, so I feel good.”

Now the “Just Wanna Rock” performer says they are considering bringing the look back with a few adjustments. Lil Uzi Vert shared in a recent interview with Dazed, “I’ve been getting some stuff mocked up. I want to get two anchors to hold it in my head.”
The rapper explained that the rare stone holds deep personal value. “This one stone cost so much I’ve been paying for it since 2017,” Uzi said. “A lot of M’s in my face.”
For now, fans will have to wait and see when the diamond returns.
