A $24 Million Diamond?

In a video shared on Instagram on February 3, 2021, Lil Uzi Vert exhibited a pink diamond attached to his forehead, claiming to have spent $24 million on this extravagant piece. Supposedly saving up for four years to acquire the 10-11 carat diamond, Lil Uzi asserted that this gem surpassed the value of his entire car collection and home. However, the authenticity of his claims and the actual value of the diamond remain unconfirmed. Up to that point, our tracking estimated his gross income at $30 million. Considering this, the $24 million spent on a single diamond seems improbable. The NYPost article that broke the news also appeared to heavily promote the jewel’s designer.

Early Beginnings

Symere Woods, now known as Lil Uzi Vert, was born on July 31, 1994, in Francisville, North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His musical journey began when he acquired Mike Jones’ debut album as his first purchase. Influenced by artists like Ying Yang Twins, Wiz Khalifa, Marilyn Manson, Paramore, and Meek Mill, Lil Uzi Vert initiated his rapping career in tenth grade after witnessing a classmate freestyling over a remixed Chris Brown instrumental. Starting a rap group named Steaktown with two friends, Woods left high school and briefly worked at a grocery store before dedicating himself to rapping following a familial dispute.

Professional Path

Adopting the moniker Lil Uzi Vert based on a compliment regarding his rap delivery resembling the speed of a machine gun, Woods released his debut project, the EP “Purple Thoughtz Vol 1.,” on January 19, 2014. Notable for its psychedelic and “trippy” production, the single “White Shit” went viral in 2017, catapulting Woods into the mainstream music scene. Attracting attention from ASAP Mob and Don Cannon post-album release, Woods signed with Cannon’s The Academy label and unveiled his initial mixtape, “The Real Uzi,” in August 2014. Securing a record deal with Atlantic Records, Lil Uzi Vert collaborated with Rich the Kid and ASAP Ferg on Carnage’s single “WDYW.”

Launching his third mixtape, “Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World,” in April 2016, Lil Uzi Vert secured a #37 debut on the “Billboard” 200 chart with a 55-week stay. This album later attained Gold certification. Collaboration with Kodak Black on the Parental Advisory Tour in May 2016, inclusion in the 2016 XXL Freshman roster, and the release of hit singles like “You Was Right” and “The Perfect LUV Tape” further solidified Lil Uzi Vert’s place in the music industry.

Notable releases like “Luv Is Rage 2” with the chart-topping single “XO Tour Llif3,” the groundbreaking “Eternal Atake,” and subsequent hit singles like “Futsal Shuffle 2020” showcased Lil Uzi Vert’s evolving musical style with massive success and critical acclaim.

Recently, his involvements in projects like the collaborative effort with Future titled “Pluto x Baby Pluto” and his upcoming album “The Pink Tape” indicate Lil Uzi Vert’s enduring impact and creative versatility in the music industry.
