Ouch! Lil Uzi Vert is opening up about a rather painful experience he had with his fans.

While attending the reopening and 18th-anniversary party of JAY-Z's 40/40 Club in New York City last weekend, the 26-year-old rapper spoke with TMZ on the red carpet, where he revealed that fans ripped out the pink diamond he has his forehead when he dove into a crowd at the Rolling Loud music festival in July.

"I had a show at Rolling Loud and I jumped into the crowd and they kind of ripped it out," Lil Uzi Vert told the outlet of the jewelry, which allegedly cost $24 million.

"I'm feeling good," he added, also revealing, "I still have the diamond so I feel good."

Never heard of him.

Inquiring minds want to know!

Good questions. I also wonder if he has learned, it might be to his advantage, not to dive into a mosh pit again?

[albie]

Sounds like the “Hope Diamond”. And frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised.

[StAnDeliver]

Wait til some of his ‘friends’ knock it out — from the back.

[Larry Lucido]

This could have turned into an Indiana Jones movie.

[know.your.why]

Thats one creepy cat raght thar..I dont keer who ya are.

[glimmerman70]

That’s what you get. Let me wear my 24 million dollar jewelry and stage dive.

Should’ve used:

J-B WELD
(903) 885-7696
P.O. BOX 483
SULPHUR SPRINGS, TX 75483

Then there would be a bigger hole in his head.

Lucky he got it back. Was it glued to his forehead. Unless that’s graded as a natural red then it ain’t no 24 million. And it’s ugly. Most NATURAL red diamonds are ugly.

[glimmerman70]

Ok. I thought he was saying red. Well it’s a ugly pink as well.

B.S.

[Covenantor]

Don’t know who this Elliot dude is, but he is one heck of a salesman to get $24 mil for that ugly piece of crap from that fool.

Waiting for the repo man hit story when the fool misses his monthly payment.

[Getready]

Tells you that the “fans” are also the crazy ones. Literally. The nfl...nba...dems...have tapped into the crazy demographic for survival. These people will self destruct but will do lots of damage before.

[aquila48]

Who?

[euram]

he has all his gold teeth too.

[butlerweave]

It was insured ? but what about that big hole

[bgill]

“ripped out the pink diamond he has his forehead”

Neither is the author. So many authors today (everyday) who slept through Writing 101.

[bgill]

Is that dirt or tattoos?

This guy parked his $2 million Bugatti in front of my office about a year and a half ago. He got booted by the NYPD and the damage is probably well over $20,000.
