<p data-pm-slice="0 0 []">The saga continued yesterday about who started the <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/sauce-walka-and-tory-lanez-speak-out-about-the-diamond-implanted-on-lil-uzi-verts-face-video/">diamond implant </a>trend. Lil Uzi Vert seemingly responded to Sauce Walka after he claimed Uzi was following him in an Instagram post after Uzi implanting a reportedly $24 Million pink diamond into the middle of his forehead. Uzi went to Twitter, where he shared a photo of Bay Area rapper Lil B The Based God with a diamond implanted in his face from 2012, shutting down Sauce’s claims that he started the trend. Lil B caught wind of Uzi’s tweet and responded, “FAMILY XOXXOXO &#8211; Lil B.” The photo came from Lil B’s 2012 music video for his song, “Tiny Pants Bi**h.&#8221; In the video, Lil B has a diamond bindi.</p>

<p>Many fans commented under the thread recognizing Lil B for being ahead of his time. One commented, “They might have forgotten who started all this swag s**t. Ni**as used to clown him now 80% of the rappers doing what Lil B been done.” Another commented, “OMG BASED GOD YOU STARTED ALL THE TRENDS !! Love YOU Stay Blessed.” Now, if you’re unfamiliar with who Lil B is, he was a member of the once-popular rap group, “The Pack,” which had a big hit song “Vans” in 2007 during the Hyphy Movement.</p>
<p>He is also known for putting the Based God curse on NBA baller Kevin Durant in 2011. Kevin <a href="https://twitter.com/KDTrey5/status/31444608244260864?s=20">tweeted</a>, “I tried to listen to Lil B, and my mind wouldn&#8217;t let me do it&#8230;.can&#8217;t believe this guy is relevant.”</p>
<p>Lil B challenged Kevin to a game of one-on-one. Kevin seemed to entertain the idea for a bit before ultimately ignoring Lil B. In May 2011, Lil B made the infamous <a href="https://twitter.com/LILBTHEBASEDGOD/status/73599288378277888?s=20">curse</a> tweet, “KEVIN DURANT WILL NEVER WIN THE TITLE AFTER HE SAID, &#8220;LIL B&#8221; IS A WACK RAPPER. &#8220;THE BASEDGODS CURSE&#8221; #THEBASEDGODSCURSE ON DURANT.”</p>
<p>Many believe the Based God curse had something to do with Kevin not winning the Larry O&#8217;Brien trophy in 2012. James Harden even came victim to the Based God curse in 2015 after Lil B claims he stole his dance. The curse may have been to blame when James’ former team, the Houston Rockets, lost in the Western Conference finals.</p>
<p>While some Roommates loved to see Lil B receive his flowers, others felt that it wasn’t worth discussing who started the trend.</p>
