Lil Uzi Vert says he was surfing above the crowd at a recent music festival when someone ripped off the jewel embedded in his forehead.
"I had a show at Rolling Loud (festival), and I jumped into the crowd and they kind of ripped it off," he told TMZ of his July performance in Miami.
But don't worry, as the artist said it "feels good" and he still has the diamond.

"I've been paying for a natural pink Elliot diamond for years," he tweeted.
"This stone cost so much that I have been paying for it since 2017. That was the first time I saw a real natural pink diamond. Lots of M's on my face."
The place where the diamond was is now occupied by a pendant.
