American rapper Lil Uzi Vert had the diamond ripped off his forehead by fans last July.
As he rushed into the crowd from the stage, Lil Uzi Vert, real name Symere Woods, did not expect anyone to try to steal “his precious”.
A few months ago, the rapper from Philadelphia had an 11-carat pink diamond, estimated to be worth more than $ 24 million (20 million euros), placed right in the middle of the forehead.
He revealed to TMZ a few days ago that he felt the gemstone slip away, while taking a walkabout during the Rolling Loud festival in Miami.

Fans tried to forcibly appropriate the artist’s jewel, fashioned by the hands of designer Elliot Eliantte, which was finally found a few minutes after the mess. “During the concert I jumped into the crowd and someone snatched the diamond from me,” he told TMZ.
Since this incident, the rapper no longer appears with his candy pink diamond, but sports a much more sober piercing.
Wise decision for a character used to doing crazy things, like buying a planet for example?
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

Last January, the artist spoke about the financial management of this whim.
“This stone is so expensive that I have been paying for it since 2017,” tweeted the 26-year-old multimillionaire.
No doubt a good reason to leave her safe at home for a while …
