Lil Uzi Vert<\/a>\u00a0made headlines this year when he unveiled an 11-carat natural pink diamond he had implanted into his forehead<\/a>.\u00a0The\u00a0images immediately created a stir across social media, but the situation became even more absurd after it was reported Uzi had bought the stone for\u00a0a whopping $24 million<\/a>\u2014a detail that has led\u00a0Boosie Badazz<\/a>\u00a0to question Uzi\u2019s decision-making skills.<\/p>\n \u201cYou put a $24 million diamond on your head, you gotta have $250 million,\u201d Boosie said during a recent sit-down on VladTV. \u201cYou know, I\u00a0feel like if you didn\u2019t do that, that was a big waste. There\u2019s too many people and people\u2019s families who are hurting to pull off shit like that if you ain\u2019t really living like that.\u201d<\/p>\n Boosie went on to admit he doesn\u2019t know Uzi\u2019s exact net worth, but suspected the rapper probably wasn\u2019t in a position to be spending that kind of money.\u00a0DJ Vlad later told Boosie that Uzi was worth about\u00a0$20 million, but several outlets estimate his net worth to be around $16 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know what he got, but I\u2019m just sayin\u2019 \u2026\u00a0$24 million, you spend that on nobody in your family, everybody in your family should be basically living like you,\u201d he continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n Uzi confirmed he had purchased diamond from New York-based jewelers Eliantte & Co. He teased the piece in a late-January tweet, claiming he had been spent the last several years paying for the stone.<\/p>\n \u201cThis one Stone cost so much I\u2019ve been paying for it since 2017,\u201d he wrote.\u00a0\u201cThat was the first time I saw a real natural pink diamond. \u2666\ufe0f A lot of M\u2019s in my face.\u201d<\/p>\n Uzi has since removed the high-dollar accessory from his forehead, as evident in recent videos and photos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
