“I had a show at Rolling Loud and I jumped into the crowd and they kind of ripped it out,” he told TMZ at the 18th anniversary of Jay-Z’s 40/40 club last month. The rapper added, "I’m feeling good, I still have the diamond so I feel good." The raper had earlier this year tweeted that he had been saving for the diamond since 2017. The Way Life Goes singer wrote, "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." 

As per Page Six, a fan once asked the rapper about what material possession he valued most to which Lil Uzi replied that it was his pink diamond that he had purchased from jewellery designer, Elliot Eliantte. He further added that the jewel was almost 10 to 11 carats and that he had insurance for it. After the incident, the rapper has not embedded the pink diamond back into his forehead and instead, rocks a piercing on his forehead. The actor reportedly joked and said, "If I lose the ring yeah U will make fun of me more than putting it in my forehead haha jokes on you" when a fan suggested the rapper to place the precious stone on a ring.
