Lil Uzi Vert Delivers Inspiring Message to Youth

Lil Uzi Vert Delivers Inspiring Message to Youth

Lil Uzi Vert is no stranger to letting his weird flag fly, and it’s clearly worked in his favor. For that reason, they think young people should take notes, because being the weirdest and most authentic among them could get them far. Uzi recently showed up at his girlfriend JT’s release party in New York City, as she just dropped her debut solo mixtape, Cinderella’s Town.

Digital content creator Ben Weiss joined the duo upon their release and asked Uzi if they had anything to say to the youth. “Keep being as weird as possible,” they said. “Because all the weird boys have all the money.” Weiss then asked what their favorite song on JT’s new project was, to which Uzi declined to answer.

Lil Uzi Vert Tells Kids to Be ‘As Weird As Possible’

While fans agree that this advice seems pretty sound, they aren’t exactly surprised by Uzi’s response. They never fail to push the envelope when it comes to art, fashion, and more, despite the potential backlash they might receive for it. Earlier this year, for example, Uzi starred in a campaign for Marc Jacobs. They posed with the brand’s 40th anniversary tote bag, which drew plenty of online mockery.

The comments ranged from critical to downright hateful, though Uzi didn’t seem to be bothered. They faced similar outrage after their Coachella performance in April. During the show, they stepped out with a Kelly Birkin bag, showed off suggestive dance moves, and more. Social media users were quick to judge, and as a result, the performance went viral.
