Twitter reacts after Lil Uzi gets a $24 million diamond implant on his forehead

Last week, the rapper announced that he spent the past four years paying for a $24 million natural pink diamond that he planned to have implanted on his forehead.

When Lil Uzi initially tweeted about the piercing, he revealed that he had been paying for it since 2017. The diamond in question is almost 11 carats.

Twitter users couldn’t get enough of his diamond-encrusted forehead, and subsequently, hilarious reactions began to flood the platform.

Lil Uzi ft Vision

Marvel fans immediately began comparing him to Vision, the Marvel superhero powered by the Mind Stone. While the inspiration behind the rapper’s look is unclear, Lil Uzi is fascinated by anime, the Heaven’s Gate cult, and aliens.

Some fans were quick to make fun of Lil Uzi’s implant, stating that it was not center-aligned.

Whether fans like or dislike Lil Uzi’s new piece of jewelry, it makes for an interesting fashion statement.

However, soon after the piercing was put in, it started bleeding due to the swelling, which is quite common and should not be a significant cause for alarm.

What did Twitter have to say?

There is never a dull moment on Twitter whenever a story breaks, and users are front row and center to catch a piece of the drama.

Twitter had a field day after pictures and videos of Lil Uzi’s diamond implant started doing the rounds. Here’s a look at some of these reactions:

While most users had a good chuckle regarding the matter, comparing him with characters such as Marvel’s Vision and Morty, others had something else to say entirely.

Some users even commented on how Uzi had just turned himself into a walking target by putting a $24 million diamond into his forehead.

Regardless of what people have to say, Lil Uzi seems to be enjoying the attention.

According to his previous statement, once the swelling subsides, a shorter bar will be used to stop the implant from slumping to one side. The 11-carat pink diamond, which cost a whopping $24 million, just might be the world’s most expensive dermal piercing at the moment.
