Marvel fans think Lil Uzi Vert might want to be careful before he ends up like Vision. The Philadelphia rapper got a $24 million pink diamond embedded in his forehead this week. Besides being a wild flex, a lot of the Internet commenters immediately drew a straight line between all this flossing and how Thanos plucked the soul stone out of Vision’s head in Avengers: Infinity War. Memes were flying, the most popular of which would be from @Akeemx_x, who captured that vibe perfectly.) Years ago, the superstar contacted Elliot Eliantte about getting some jewelry commissioned. But, when he saw that 11-carat diamond, he started making payments on it for a while. It was the first time the rapper ever saw a natural pink diamond, and that was clearly enough to buy-in.

Literally putting a target on your head.

 

[TheMan]

This is some next-level dumb fuckery. Good for him though, getting those clicks any way you can.

 

[Party McHardy]

Someone had to be the first I guess.

 

[eddie4]

TIL Lil Uzi Fart has 42 mil to blow on stupid shit.

 

[sackings]

better hope that shit doesnt ever get infected

 

[Cyberpunkd]

why are rappers always so Lil

Because they are stupid little shits, just with a lot of money.

 

[DESTROYA]

Someones going to kill him to get that diamond.
Hope it falls off while he sleeps and never finds it.

 

[BaneIsPain]

 

[Richard Packer]

It pairs well with his face tattoos.

 

[belmarduk]

Era says its racist to say Lil Uzi Vert looks ridiculous... but I can't help but feel anyone would look ridiculous if they did this.

 

[Jeff Spicoli]

Dumbest man ever?

 

[MudoSkills]

You really can't buy taste.

 

[LisaMariaMartin]

Hope he has good bodyguards

 

[MDSLKTR]

Not just the jewel, take the whole damn head off

 

[KrakenIPA]

It's so bizarre. Like, there's gotta be a time later in life where he's like, 'man I'm getting short on funds, time to cash in the diamond and walk around with a hole in my forehead.' He could have just glued a cheap one on his melon. Is he even Indian <shrug>? Not to mention the Vision jokes he has to hear for the rest of his life. Yikes.

 

[Woo-Fu]

Once his rap career is over he can get a job as a glass cutter. Every day he'll hear the same joke, "That's using your head, man."

 

[haxan7]

He posted pics of it bleeding

 

[Manus]

Is it a requirement to be dumb if you're a rapper?

 

[kamkamkam]

 

[EverydayBeast]

Home run f the haters

 

[INC]

Thats an expensive penis to be attached

 

[GymWolf]

You already lost me at lil uzi vert...

 

[Cockles & Whelks]

This is why I laugh when the music industry moans about piracy. Never heard of the guy and he can afford to do this?

 

[Duellist]

Lil uzi vert?? Fucking LOL

 

[TheContact]

when face tattoos are just too inexpensive....

 

[Cutty Flam]

Definition of a mark lmao. Doubt he survives more than 5-8 more years

 

[Prison Mike]

 

[poodaddy]

It's crazy that an artist can be that successful and rich and I've never even heard of him or heard his music. I really am out of touch in a big way. Is he any good or is his music as moronic and pointless as he is?

 

[Revolutionary]

I give it 2 months tops before he's found dead with a pair of pliers by him

 

[Mistake]

I give it 2 months tops before he's found dead with a pair of pliers by him

I was thinking the same thing. Idiot put a target on his head that says “Rob me! Rob me!”

 

[Max_Po]

remember that Indian guy parading around with his gold shirt... ammm yeaaaah

 

[Arimer]

To most of us average people this is incredibly stupid because we think about all the other things you could do with it but in this man's line of work being stupid and flashy is a selling point. So Its either genius or . . . . Ok no it's stupid.

 

[Peggies]

 

[Karmic Raze]

 

[Atrus]

I'm wondering how its embedded into his forehead. Is there a setting fixed to his skull?

 

[Nester99]

Well he is going to be dead by the end of the year.

I bet it’s fake AF, still does not change my first statement.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

That's one way to put a price on your head....

Literally.

 

[rofif]

that's a 24mil infection

 

[ThatStupidLion]

I'm wondering how its embedded into his forehead. Is there a setting fixed to his skull?

this is what i want to know. how has the skin formed around it. i have so many questions about the actual implant

because i'd get a fucking unicorn horn and just start gorging any males who try to take my mares

 

[Great Hair]

 

[SJRB]

I just want to know how this works. I mean, do you ask a plastic surgeon like "yo dude drill a hole in my skull and put this 24 million dollar diamond in it, fuck me up fam" and a surgeon is like "sure thing dude lie down".

 

[Virt McPolygon]

Probably attached to some sort of piercing. Looks dumb as fuck, but honestly, nobody would get away with snatching the diamond. How would you be able to sell it?

 

[Ionian]

I bet it’s fake AF, still does not change my first statement.

My bets on that, no way it's real and worth 24 million.

 

[Alebrije]

My bets on that, no way it's real and worth 24 million.

The record price per carat for a pink diamond was set in 2018, when The Pink Legacy, a 18.96-carat rectangular fancy vivid pink diamond, fetched CHF50. 4 million, or US$2.6 million per carat, at a Christie's sale in Geneva.10 feb. 2020
