Lil Uzi Vert has revealed that his fans "ripped" out the expensive diamond implanted in his forehead after he jumped into the crowd at a concert.

The 'Erase Your Social' rapper, 26, unveiled the extravagant accessory, which apparently cost a staggering $24 million, earlier this year in February.

Recently, though, it appears that Lil Uzi was moments away from bidding farewell to the jewel after his excited fans manhandled it.

Noticing he was not wearing the diamond - but a barbell piercing instead - a TMZ reporter asked the performer over the weekend: "What up, Uzi? You still that got that diamond brother?"

To which Lil Uzi responded: "I had a show at Rolling Loud and I jumped in the crowd and they kind of ripped it out."

When asked how he was feeling after the incident, the rapper said: "I'm feeling good. I still got the diamond so I feel good."

When Lil Uzi debuted the pink gemstone in February, his friend CEO Slow claimed on his Instagram Story that it cost the rapper a staggering $24 million.

Lil Uzi also talked about the phenomenal cost of the diamond on his own Twitter, writing: "I’ve been paying for a natural pink diamond from Elliot for years now.

"This one Stone cost so much I’ve been paying for it since 2017. That was the first time I saw a real natural pink diamond. A lot of M’s in my face."

A number of people have since expressed concern over how secure the stone really is, with one person tweeting: "What if somebody rip @LILUZIVERT diamond out his forehead while he sleep?"

Another concerned Twitter user took to the platform to write: "I really hope that diamond is removable because Lil Uzi Vert is going to mess around and snag it on a pillow case or sheet.

"If I can almost rip my damn nose stud (flat) out of my face on multiple occasions... it’s only a matter of time for the pink marquise."

And when a fan asked Uzi why he didn't have the pink diamond made into a ring instead, he responded: "If I lose the ring yeah U will make fun of me more than putting it in my forehead ha ha jokes on you ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... And yes I do have insurance. [sic]"
