Lil Uzi Vert was a trending Twitter topic on Wednesday (February 3) after he revealed his $24 million pink diamond forehead implant. But despite Sauce Walka’s claim he’s the inspiration behind the new face accessory, the Eternal Atake rapper has actually credited The Pack’s Lil B — the BasedGod.
Taking to Twitter, Lil Uzi shared a screenshot of Lil B from the “Tiny Pants Bitch” music video that features the Bay Area native rocking a jeweled bindi. Talking to HipHopDX, Lil B was thrilled to be behind the look and noted the feelings are mutual.
“That’s love,” Lil B told DX. “Uzi is a legend and one of the G.O.A.T.S in music, so all real musicians pay respects to other artist that have impacted the culture. He inspires me too currently as we speak.”
Lil Uzi was forced to defend his lavish purchase in one of his Instagram Stories after fans noticed it appeared off-centered.
“It’s actually in the middle,” he said. “It’s in the middle. I just got a long bar in it because I just got it pierced. When the swelling go down I’ll get a short bar so it won’t move. Y’all keep talking about it off because I got a long bar in it so it can move ’cause of the swelling. When it go down, it gonna be right though.”
As far as Sauce Walka goes, the Texas rapper went on a tirade earlier this week, claiming Lil Uzi was biting his style.
“Keep following The leader lol,” Sauce wrote on Instagram. “YALL LOOK AT @eliantte @liluzivert GETTIN TO COPY A NIGGA DRIP dick munching my style for 4-5 years lol yal still can’t see this shit DRIPGOD IS MY NAME TooMuchSauce lol S/o @liluzivert I KNO IM THE INFLUENCE TO YOUR INSPIRATION.”
why are these new rappers so gay?
You’ve been sleeping under a fucking rock if you think Uzi is “new”.
well at least you didnt deny that hes “gay”
What a fucking clown? Rap is complete shit these days. I hope he gets robbed, because he looks like a little bitch!!!!
So the guy who gets a diamond mounted on his forehead credits the guy who named his album “Im Gay” for his influence ? Go figure…
“Legend”? GTFOH!!!!!! No way hell that he’s a legend. 3 albums and you’re a legend? What a joke. This generation gives accolades too fast. He’ll never be a fucking legend. The only impact he’s had on hip-hop is being the new reference for stupid and clout chaser.
The guy isn’t a legend because he sucks. Nothing to do with how many albums he pot out buddy. Big L, Big Pun and Notorious B.I.G. only out out 2 albums each, respectively. They are all legends. Your point is mute. How this jackass has 24 million to buy a diamond to implant on his face is another story altogether.
Point is moot*

Lil B was revolutionary, however I can’t really sit through his albums. Not even the short ones. This Uzi guy should have done something good with that money, of for none other to ballance the wack bs that some clueless 13 y.o.’s call music.
