Lil Yachty may have a bright future in the rap game, but he definitely doesn’t have a bright future as an ear piercer if his work on celebrity jeweler Greg Yuna is any indicator.
The two shared a video on social media where, instead of receiving jewelry, Yachty played the role of an ear piercer and pierced Yuna’s ear.
Before Yachty did any piercing on the famous jeweler who designed Ariana Grande’s engagement ring and has had his designs worn by celebrities like Floyd Mayweather and Meek Mill, the rapper put the piercing gun in the wrong place — but neither he nor Yuna noticed it.
Next came the actual piercing. With the click of a button, Yachty pierced Yuna’s ear, then the rapper realized he didn’t know what to do next. "Is it stuck?" asked Yuna, prompting Yachty to respond nervously, "It’s in there."
Then came the million-dollar question from Yuna: "How are we going to get it out?"
Yachty, who’s usually a great talker, was stumped. "Oh, I don’t even know," the rapper admitted. "I didn’t look at that part."
After a bit of panicking and fiddling, Yachty was able to remove the gun from Yuna’s ear to reveal his brand new ear piercing. When Yuna and Yachty saw it in a mirror, they realized the rapper’s hilarious mistake: he pierced the bottom of Yuna’s ear instead of in the middle of his lobe.
"It’s in the wrong place," remarked Yuna with a smile. "Who pierces an ear like that?"
It’s safe to say Yachty won’t be piercing anyone else’s ears in the new future.
Yachty did pierce the hearts of Yeat’s fans when he popped up as a surprise guest for the latter’s show during Complex Con 2025.
Yachty took the stage to perform his track "Coffin" from Lil Boat 3.5.
