US rapper Lil Uzi Vert has had a massive 10-karat pink diamond embedded into his forehead, showing off his unusual body modification on Instagram.
The Philadelphia artist boasted he spent four years making payments to New York-based jeweller Elliot Eliantte for the $24million (£17m) huge stone.
In the clip, he tells fans that he had just got the diamond pierced onto his forehead and the area is still swollen.
Lil Uzi Vert says: “I just got a long bar in it because I just got it pierced and its swelling.
“When the swelling goes down I’ll get a short bar so that it doesn’t move.”

He then slightly touches the gem to show how it can swing from side to side on his skin.
In another clip the rapper dresses in a pink varsity jacket, matched with his pink diamond earrings and the prominent face jewellery, as he rehearses at a studio.
In a tweet he wrote on Saturday, he admitted the diamond is so expensive that he has been paying for the jeweller since 2017.
“Yes my Bugatti can’t even pay for it…all my cars together, plus my home, this took so long now I can get this money,” the rapper added.
Fans were stunned when they see Lil Uzi Vert’s unusual body piercing. Some even compared it to a powerful figure in superhero movie The Avengers.

One commented with a picture of Marvel’s Vision and likened it to Uzi’s new piercing.
Another made reference to the movie, adding: “Man, why Uzi really looks like Vision.”
A fan said: “Do yourself a favour sunshine and just go to Claire’s Accessories and get some cheap plastic, coz if you come to my manor again you’d better do more than hide behind your boy. I’ll punch the diamond straight out of your face!”
Others, however, pointed out that the diamond was set “slightly off-centre”.
But Uzi answered: “It’s in the middle, and yes I do have insurance.”
