Not sure bout Lil Uzi, but jeweller Elliot Eliantte aint no fool.

Looks better than I thought it would

BBC presents news in Pidgin now?

Wait until someone decides that they want it more than him, and they carve it out of his forehead with a dull knife.

Let's see how good it looks then.

Apparently, Queenie E says "No wahala Yo!"

I was wondering about that, too.

I fear you're right.

The late, great Richard Pryor used to say, "Cocaine is God's way of telling you that you make too much money."

Embedding $24M diamonds in one's forehead falls under that same category. This guy couldn't find a school, children's hospital or food bank to support? Very disturbing...

 

[RadishRose]

I have no words......

A contributing journalist. If a contributing journalist's articles don't boost sales/viewership they don't last long.

 

[StarSong]

I found it smacked disconcertingly of racism and condescension for the BBC to couch this article in urban language, a medium I'd never before seen them use.

Straight up yo. lol. CNN originally reported it.

Here's the story of a man who networked himself into wealth the honest way without bluster.

Chris Rock says it best.

at schools who needed it....and I coulda got a diamond in my wrinkly old forehead........

That’s exactly what I thought; gruesome as it might be, it’s reality. Why do I read this stuff?

 

[Sassycakes]

Just when I think I have heard stupid things people do,I realize there is always more coming.

Reality it is, indeed.

Everything that everybody else has, is everyone else's if they want it, and if they can't have it or get it, they have no problem ending ones life in their quest to acquire it.

A 24 million dollar stone embedded in your forehead (that’s not even properly centred)
Then broadcast it to the world? Why????
Now he’ll need a 50 million dollar body guard.
I guess I’m being judgmental .... lol

ROFLMAO!

I've already started bracing myself for what's next.

I looked it up; it's their West African service based in Nigeria. Dunno how @Robert59 found that one! In trying to find the article on BBC's UK English site, I searched 'rapper' and got this as the first hit:

The Rapper Who Chopped His ***** Off

Maybe there's some kind of rapper headlines challenge...? Dude with the diamond spent a lot more but came out better in the long run.

There's a rapper called Sauce Talka who made a lot of noise a couple months ago about Elliante selling him fake diamonds, but could be he's just talkin' sauce.

 

[Judycat]

Aw. He looks happy anyway.

Maybe the rapper called "Sauce Talka", can get the lid of a salsa jar imbedded into his forehead. ROFLMAO!
