A Quiet 2025 for Uzi — Until Now
So far, 2025 has been relatively low-key for Lil Uzi Vert, who identifies as nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. Uzi has not released any solo singles this year, though they did feature on Skrilla’s track “Walking Dead” back in February.
Their last major project, Eternal Atake 2, dropped in 2024 and debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, moving 59,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. While it didn’t quite match the seismic impact of their 2020 release, the project reaffirmed Uzi’s place in the upper echelon of contemporary rap.
Recent Headlines: Music & Controversy
Before the health scare, Uzi made waves for a jab at Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts earlier this year. The rapper posted to their Instagram Story flaunting their lavish lifestyle, captioning a photo of Hurts with the line:
“Diamonds are better lil big bro.”
The playful or provocative tone of the post sparked online chatter, but Hurts has yet to respond.
Fans React: “Get Well Soon, Uzi”
Social media erupted with messages of concern and support for the rapper after news of the hospitalization broke. The hashtag #GetWellUzi began trending within hours, with fans praising JT’s loyalty and expressing hopes for Uzi’s full recovery.
“Say what you want about Uzi, but JT holding it down like that is love,” one fan tweeted.
Another wrote, “We love you Uzi. Hope you're okay. Come back stronger.”
What’s Next for Lil Uzi Vert?
As fans await further updates, it remains unclear whether this health scare will delay any upcoming projects or public appearances. What’s certain is that Lil Uzi Vert's influence remains strong, and their presence in music and pop culture continues to be felt—even when they're silent.
