He had been paying for the Elliot Eliantte diamond since 2017 and it was nearly 11 carats. In an interview for Rolling Stone, Simon Babaev, spokesperson on behalf of the company’s owner Eliott Eliantte, revealed, "once he saw the stone, he really fell in love with it and said he’d think about what he wanted to do with it."
However, just a few months later, it appears the rapper has had the diamond removed. In the interview, Babaev also expressed that the procedure to get the diamond implanted was "safe as any other piercing."
It's unclear if Uzi got the diamond removed due to health concerns or issues, but he was spotted with girlfriend, JT of the City Girls, without his pink gem inserted into his forehead. Check out the reveal below.
