Uzi began paying Elantte since 2017 and this year, finally finished paying off the stone. Many online ended up viewing that as a huge waste of money.

In the clip posted, Uzi is making faces with JT, as they also end up sharing a kiss together at he end of it.

Uzi definitely looks like he was able to safely remove that stone from his forehead without any major health issues coming with it. In February, he revealed on social media that if something ever went wrong with removing the stone, he could possibly face death. This could possibly be due to many blood being lost from his both and also some infections playing a role in that as well. Thankfully, this was not the case at all and seems to be okay.
