In case you somehow lost, last week’s news was that Lil Uzi Vert had a $ 24 million diamond implanted on his forehead, why not. Uzi spent years paying for the diamond and finally achieved his goal and incorporated it surgically into his body. Comparisons with the Marvel Vision character were quick to follow.
Perhaps you’ve spent some time thinking about Uzi’s new third eye. Maybe you really stayed up at night wondering how the hell is that possible. Well, good news for you: Rolling Stone I put together a short interview with the jeweler from Uzi explaining exactly how it all happened. The magazine interviewed Simon Babaev of Elianntte & Co., who specializes in personalized jewelry for celebrities. Among Babaev’s revelations: The company didn’t think Uzi was serious at first, his implant is as safe as any other piercing, and they created a “specific assembly” made with precious metals that differentiates the process from a standard piercing, which should be made with stainless steel or surgical grade steel. A farewell thought by Babaev is that the Uzi diamond makes him a “trend setter”.
Perhaps Uzi will become a trend setter again. In the same week that his new pink helmet debuted, the notable sane person Grimes suggested that they both incorporate brain chips. This fit in with Elon Musk talking about his new venture Neuralink, which allows monkeys to play video games with each other and / or is like a Fitbit “in his skull with tiny wires going into his brain”.
The knowledge of the Gods. Haha.
