Rappers make excellent financial decisions.

Source:Lil Uzi Vert, who late last month had fans fully convinced he was planning to embed a flawless pink diamond into his forehead, appears to have (maybe) followed through.
The Eternal Atake world builder previously revealed in January that he had recently finished paying for a natural pink diamond from Elliot Eliantte.
“This one stone cost so much I’ve been paying for it since 2017,” he said at the time. “That was the first time I saw a real natural pink diamond. A lot of M’s in my face.” Uzi also suggested the (almost) 11-carat piece was worth as much as $2 million per carat, which brings the total to an objectively whopping amount.

FYI: That’s 22-24 million Mr. Uzi Vert has surgically embedded in his forehead
if he kept this money in a high-interest bank account, the cash flow alone from $24 million is about $1.4 million a year but you can’t embed a lifetime of financial security between your eyes, right?
My friend sent me the story and like you, he doesn’t get it but he also doesn’t want to judge someone for a high fashion decision.
I think we can judge someone when they attach the GDP of a third world country to their face, just to make a statement, but we also need to decide if we hate it for the right reasons.
There’s nothing more fashionable to me than being financially secure and selfless and while people are dying and going hungry, it’s pretty fucking tone-deaf. Not that I care, but if we’re judging the weirdness of it, you have to include some common sense and some real-life comparisons. That’s how you get away with judging people in today’s day and age.
Having said that, Diamonds are traditionally a very solid investment, and depending on the cut, color, and clarity, Lil Uzi Very stands to make money if and when he decides he’s done trying to cop Vision’s look from Infinity War.
Unless someone rips it off his head standing in line at In-And-Out Burger.
