Lil Uzi Vert has been taking his time with his upcoming project, The Pink Tape, and fans have been keeping a close eye on any signs regarding its impending release. On Saturday (March 5), Baby Pluto took to his Instagram Story with an update regarding the long-awaited project.

According to his Instagram Story, the Eternal Atake rapper is tapping into a level that fans may be familiar with from when he first entered the Hip Hop game, warning his critics that he’s coming with heat.

“Woke back up that evil Uzi,” he wrote. “Oh yea it’s alot of people who thought I was done and prayed every night that they would take my spot. Boy oh boy just fasten your seatbelts.”

The “evil Uzi” Baby Pluto is talking about could be the fiery run he went on beginning in 2016. A number of his videos contained Satanic imagery and he even had a back-and-forth with Offset regarding his use of an upside-down cross.

Uzi also clowned his peers’ outfits and claimed he’s in a league of his own in his Instagram Story. “Oh shit I almost forgot y’all dress funny I don’t wanna look like nobody,” he added.

As if the return of “evil Uzi” wasn’t enough excitement, fans got to see a glimpse of the cover art for The Pink Tape when Lil Uzi Vert’s graphic designer teased the artwork on his Instagram Story. The post shows the word “PINK” in the same color with a white shadow behind.

Lil Uzi Vert teased The Pink Tape all throughout 2021. The last time fans got any update on the highly anticipated project came in December when Uzi donned pink, blue and yellow dreads, similar to the eccentric locks he had earlier in his career.
