Fans pulled a $24 million pink diamond off an American rapper's forehead, according to the artist. Someone pulled the diamond pierced Lil Uzi Vert's forehead when he was crowd-surfing at a music festival recently. He told TMZ about his performance in Miami in July, "I did a gig at Rolling Loud (event), and I jumped into the audience, and they kind of pulled it out."

The rapper stated that he is "feeling well" and that the diamond is still in his possession. He escaped with no facial damage. Since 2017, Lil Uzi has been paying for the diamond and had always wanted to put it on his face. He had said that the precious stone was a whopping 10-11 karat and it cost more than "all my cars together, plus home".

Earlier this year, the diamond was surgically placed on his face. The diamond has been replaced by a barbell piercing. The 26-year-old Philadelphia native claimed he got it pierced on his forehead because he was worried he would lose it otherwise.

He had previously been questioned why he didn't put the diamond into a ring by a fan. "If I lose the ring, sure U will make fun of me more than placing it in my forehead," the rapper responded. His forehead piercing has drawn comparisons to the iconic Marvel superhero Vision, whose body is powered by an infinity stone placed in the centre of his forehead.
