Lil Uzi Vert Claims His Faux-Infinity Stone Was Torn Out of His Head at Rolling Loud
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Remember when Lil Uzi Vert was running around with an alleged $24 million diamond in the middle of his forehead? Well according to the Philly rapper, it was ripped out by fans during his set at Rolling Loud. It could have fell out, but we weren’t there. However, while attending the 40/40 Club’s re-opening, Uzi Vert told TMZ the tea. The rapper says he had a $24 MILLION rock embedded as a flashy facial implant, claiming he saved up for years for the pink gemstone and wanted it put in his forehead because he was afraid he’d otherwise lose it. According to Lil Uzi, the implant wasn’t foolproof when he did a stage dive at the Miami hip hop festival … and his fans ripped it right out of his forehead. The good news … he didn’t suffer any ser...
Lil Uzi Vert Calls Kanye West A “Fake Pastor”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jason Koerner / Getty Lil Uzi Vert’s already got enough things going on in his life to start up some new ish, but the Philadelphia rapper has decided to call out Kanye West and his spiritual guidance because, well, we don’t know. In a now-deleted and apparently unprovoked tweet, Lil Uzi Vert took at at Yeezus by bluntly asserting, “Kanye is a fake pastor.” Can’t say we saw that one coming. Though Vert and Kanye have worked together in the past it seems like Lil Uzi is the only big name artist that wasn’t featured on Kanye’s latest album, Donda. Maybe he felt a ways about being left off of it? Heck, maybe he’s doing this in hopes of getting Drake’s attention and hoping on a Certified Love Boy album cut. Whatever the case may be, fans were quick to respond ...
Lil Uzi Vert Bought a Planet—Yes, a Planet—Bigger Than Jupiter, According to Grimes
It’s no secret that music artists are known for making outrageous purchases. Just ask Drake, who forked up $395,000 for a mattress made with gold brass and horsehair. It’s tough to keep up with all the hubris and clout-chasing of the music industry’s biggest stars, but the latest acquisition by Lil Uzi Vert is astronomically absurd. You’ll get that pun in a moment. According to Grimes, the Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist has bought a planet—yes, a planet—bigger than Jupiter. She took to Twitter to claim that Uzi will become the first human to legally own a planet after purchasing WASP-127b, a gas giant exoplanet discovered in 2016. Uzi quickly chimed in to clarify the bizarro claim, which is apparently actually coming to fruition. In hi...
Lil Uzi Vert’s Ex Brittany Byrd Says He Put A Gun To Her Stomach & Hit Her
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Lil Uzi Vert had himself a weekend. Before Lil Uzi Vert had a breakdancing good time at Michael Rubin’s “all-white” 4th of July party that featured other notable guests like JAY-Z, J-Balvin, and James Harden tickling Meek Mill, no seriously he was, Uzi Vert was out here getting physical with his ex Brittany Byrd and fellow rapper SAINt JHN. TMZ broke the news on Friday that “XO Tour Lif3” crafter rolled up on SAINt JHN in broad daylight at the Dialog Cafe in West Hollywood, and a physical altercation ensued. Byrd, who was there when the fracas went down, claims she was there talking “business” with SAInt JHN, and now, the celebrity gossip site is reporting that Byrd is pressing charges. According to Byrd, JT’s boo threatened her with...
Vision No More? Lil Uzi Vert Reportedly Removes $24M Pink Diamond From His Forehead
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: WENN.com / WENN Lil Uzi Vert was seen without his very expensive signature forehead diamond during a Memorial Day Weekend appearance with his girlfriend JT of the City Girls and Future, as well as recent social media posts. The Philly rapper tried to take the stunt game to gawd level when he implanted a big ass $24 million pink diamond into his forehead on February 3rd. Instead of props, the Eternal Atake rapper got jokes and memes suggesting that Uzi looks like Vision from The Avengers with an Infinity Stone stuck in his nugget. And worse, he got a possible health scare shortly thereafter. The 26-year-old Hip-Hop star worked with jewelry designer Elliot Eliantte on getting the diamond crafted and grafted since 2017 and he’s been making payments on his bl...

Source: Prince Williams / Getty One of Rap’s most polarizing personas is about to get even higher on his high horse. The man who has recently affixed an ornament to his face was just given a gem of a compliment from one of the greatest. As spotted on Complex Lil Uzi Vert shared a very interesting moment from his recent travels.

Grimes and Lil Uzi Vert Have Been Working on Music Together
Lil Uzi Vert shocked and excited fans when he revealed that he was working with none other than Grimes – stating that they’re “making hits.” Last year, the synthpop songstress dropped Miss Anthropocene to rave reviews. She followed that up in 2021 with a full remix album featuring numerous high-profile electronic artists, including Richie Hawtin, Tale of Us, and REZZ. As of the publication of this article, their new music is still very much in production. According to Grimes, they still need to finish the project. In 2019, she shared during an interview with Zane Lowe that she had actually produced one of Lil Uzi’s EPs but sadly, the rapper never downloaded the file. Stay tuned as more information regarding the collaboration...
On Sight: Young Thug Likes Lil Uzi Vert’s New Diamond Dome Piece
Source: Prince Williams / Getty Lil Uzi Vert took the jewelry game to the next (and unnecessary) level when he implanted a $24 million dollar pink diamond on his forehead a la Vision in The Avengers. While most of the world reacted with shock and disbelief, Young Thug for one was a fan of the move and praised the Philadelphia’s new and “innovative” manner of stuntin.’ Taking to IG to touch on yesterday’s hottest Hip-Hop news, Thugger threw his support behind Vert’s new iced out forehead saying, “”Slime rule the world, believe it. Young n***as out this motherf*cka spending $24 million on they heads. N***a put $24 M on the front of they head. Y’all hoes get in line.” Why we feel like Thugger might follow suit and start putting ice chips all over his brows and cheek bones? Just sayin.’ Though...
Pop-Punk and Hip-Hop: 2020’s Dynamic Duo
In October, Bad Boy Records’ Machine Gun Kelly topped the Billboard 200 for the first time with his fifth album, Tickets To My Downfall – charting higher with guitar-driven pop-punk songs than he ever had as an emcee. Two weeks later, the top spot on the Hot 100 was secured by “Mood,” a guitar-driven emo-rap song by 24kGoldn and Iann Dior, who have since ruled the chart for most of the last two months. But those feel like only the most prominent tipping points of an unlikely alliance between pop-punk and hip-hop — one that has been everywhere in 2020, bubbling up in recent years to finally reach the forefront of popular music. Once upon a time, hip-hop and punk bubbled out of New York City as parallel movements that intersected often, from Debbie Harry rhyming about Fab Five Fre...
Lil Uzi Vert and Future Join Forces, Toast Themselves on Two New Songs
In a year where absolutely nothing is surprising anymore, and nothing is ever on time, Lil Uzi Vert and Future just reinvented what it means to be fashionably late. The hip-hop powerhouses came through on a promise and sort-of-surprise-dropped two new tracks “Over Your Head” and “Patek,” on Friday afternoon. While the pair teased a joint effort this month on Instagram — with a date of July 31 attached — fans were disappointed to see the release was absent from streaming services on Friday at midnight EST. But even with a tardy pass, Hendrix and Baby Pluto just came through with a pair of emo-trap slappers to help us graduate past Summer 2020. “Over Your Head” sees Uzi — who dropped his sophomore album Eternal Atake earlier this year — taking charge with Future giving the uptempo, sing...
