   On Wednesday (Feb 3) Uzi revealed that he went through a technical surgery procedure.

   The rapper revealed that there is a long bar that was placed behind the pink diamond stone.

   Many fans trolled Uzi, claiming the stone did not look as if it was in the centre of his head.

   

   However the rapper cleared up the claims by showing fans how it's able to move.

   "So, it's actually in the middle," Uzi began. "This jawn in the middle. I just got a long bar in it because I just got it pierced and the swelling, when the swelling goes down..."

   He continued "Short bar, so it won't move. Y'all keep talking about it's off. It's ’cause I got a long bar in it so it can move ’cause it's swelling. But when it go down, we gon‘ be right there."

   Lil Uzi Vert did not name the specific surgery he had.

2. How much is Lil Uzi Vert pink diamond worth?

   Lil Uzi Vert reportedly spent a whopping $24million for the natural pink diamond that is implanted in his forehead.

   The rapper revealed that he spent the last four years paying for the high valued diamond.

   The pink diamond is between 10 and 11 carats, from jewellery designer Elliot Eliantte.

   On Jan 30, Uzi tweeted "I’ve been paying for a natural pink diamond from Elliot for years now."

   He continued "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." Alongside his tweet, he shared 24 dollar bag emojis.

3. Why is Lil Uzi Vert being compared to Vision from the Marvel Universe?

   Lil Uzi Vert became trending on Twitter after revealing his pink diamond.

   While many fans complimented the rapper and questioned the rapper, others compared him to a Marvel superhero.

   'Vision' was empowered by the Mind Stone that was similarly implanted in his forehead.

   Paul Bettany plays 'Vision' in the Marvel movies and the recent Disney+ series WandaVision.

   One fan took to Twitter and wrote: "Dude really went from Lil Uzi Vert to Lil Uzi Vision.".
