Anyone who’s been following the career of “XO TOUR Llif3” architect Lil Uzi Vert knows delays are to be expected — as in the case of Luv Is Rage 2.
But after waiting almost a year-and-a- half for his new project Eternal Atake (which was originally expected by the end of 2018), fans were blindsided on Friday (January 11) after Uzi announced via Instagram he was stepping away from music and had deleted everything he recorded.
“I wanna take the time to say thank you to each and every one of my supporters but I’m done with music,” he wrote. “I deleted everything, I wanna be normal … I wanna wake up in 2013.”
Upon hearing the news, his fans were gutted. Not only were they were losing Uzi, but the music they’d been patiently waiting for was gone.
While it’s highly unlikely Uzi was in possession of a lone master copy of Eternal Atake, his early retirement does put the fate of the project in jeopardy.
His recent verse on Shabazz PBG’s “Shells” suggested he was actively trying to get out of his deal with Atlantic Records — even making an allusion to Mase‘s Bad Boy departure.
Rapper retirements (outside of Joe Budden) rarely seem to stick, so, for now, fans will have to just wait and see how it plays out.
Hell yes, about damn time! I hope he uses all the money he now has wisely and makes it last long, but please – don’t make bullshit music ever again.
Once mumble rap is over and Trump is indicted things Will Be Better, just hold on
One down, Xan, Pump and Yachty to go.
Yessssss!!!!! Now we just need the rest of these lame ass rappers to get out of the game so that hip hop can get back to a better place. Hopefully this isn’t a publicity stunt…
When did he ever do music?
yelp, im sure some people on here are happy about this. im not happy about this, nor sad. im not a fan, nor a hater. makes no difference to me what uzi vert does since i don’t listen to his music anyways. so good luck to him putting his rap money to good use for his future moving forward.
Oh Uzi wants his soul back but don’t realize the industry don’t let nobody walk away on their own without consequences. Good Luck
Hiphop hooray this the year that all this gay rap stops time for the real emcees to come back
I hope he does… Go phuck off out of sight for good you talentless fool.
The sad part is that he had the most potential to become a better artist, but he was held back way too much.
I bet if he actually sat down and did an album with less restrictions, he’d put out something platinum worthy.
Get tha fuk outta here with that b.s name one classic this clown put out, I’ll wait….. Yeah fooh!! Lol Great News for Music
Yes this is brilliant news but I don’t believe it, you no what addicts are like he’ll be bk in week lol….
What fans?
maybe claiming to be a satanist wasnt the best move in a community who dont like that type of shit
Ayeee first 69 now this clown?!? 2019 gonna be a solid year ??✊???
Da Commanda approves when trash rappers say they are giving music up…
trash!! Good Riddance!!
They could literally make a article saying “fans celebrate lil uzi’s departure from music” and there would be just as many or more twitter posts supporting that, good riddance i hope he stays retired, 2019 looking good already
Fake news
One down,the rest of the southern rappers to go
