Kanye West has provided an update on Lil Uzi Vert‘s health condition after the rapper was hospitalized in New York City for an undetermined illness.
According to TMZ, paramedics got a call on Monday afternoon (April 21) for what was reported as a “sick person” in Lower Manhattan. They remained hospitalized the following day with little details about what exactly happened, but on Wednesday (April 23), Ye shared an update.
“UZI is okay,” he assured his followers on X with a screenshot of a text with producer Digital Nas – who had sent screenshots of a text thread he’d had with someone closer to Uzi.
The first text read, “They saying he’s dehydrated but I know there’s more to it,” followed shortly after by, “Vert’s cousin just confirmed that Uzi’s okay.”

According to TMZ, West is currently holding auditions in Los Angeles where he is seeking to cast “African American Males” as part of his “Hooligan Choir” with the sessions being held in a warehouse near a school.
In flyers posted near the warehouse, West also requires that any potential cast be “COMFORTABLE WEARING SWASTIKAS.”
Additionally, it is claimed that Swastikas have been drawn on the side of the warehouse and the Nazi symbol is in clear view of the opposite elementary school.
The outlet reports that neighbors are complaining about the noise levels coming from the castings with West’s songs “Black Skinhead” and “Carnival” playing on repeat.

Police have confirmed that they have received a number of complaints about noise levels over the last two months relating to West’s activities at the warehouse.
They also admitted that they had received two reports regarding Swastikas being painted on the warehouse and are currently investigating both incidents.
West has yet to comment on the reports or the police investigation.
