When a fan told the musician to put the diamond in a ring instead, he responded;
If I lose the ring yeah U will make fun of me more than putting it in my forehead. And yes I do have insurance.
Some fans told Lil Uzi Vert the stone looked off center, but in a video shared by HipHopDX, the rapper denied that.
His response made it sound as if the gem is removable, like a piercing, rather than permanent.
He said;
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 Vert heard y’all say his forehead diamond was off center 💎
