Kanye West Links With Lil Uzi Vert

One of my shooters ?

A post shared by 16 (@liluzivert) on Jan 24, 2018 at 6:57pm PST

Whether the two will be collaborating on new music, fashion, or were simply just hanging out has yet to be seen. Yeezy has been rather quiet as of late, but with his contributions to the newly released Culture II and recent sightings carrying around his laptop, Yeezy Season may, in fact, be approaching.
