Lil Uzi Vert is offering fans – and Ebro Darden – a sneak peek at their response to the media personality’s recent claim that Uzi has yet to deliver on their nearly decade-old promise to become a “rock star.”
Taking to their Instagram Story on Tuesday (November 19), Uzi played a snippet of the track titled “Chill Ebro,” which they previously teased when revealing the tracklist to the then-forthcoming Eternal Atake 2.

“I’m the rock star that I said I was gonna be!” Uzi sings on the track, followed by repeating “Ebro chill” multiple times.

During a panel discussion last month, Ebro revisited his viral 2016 interview with Lil Uzi Vert, where the Philadelphia rhymer declared themselves a “rock star” while refusing to freestyle over “old” Hip Hop beats.
Eight years later, Ebro feels Baby Pluto hasn’t lived up to their lofty potential.

“I love Uzi Vert. I feel like he still hasn’t become the rock star he said he would become, though. I’m still waiting,” the radio personality admitted.
“Maybe I took it literal, but the rock stars that I know, they were selling out MetLife Stadium. They could sell out Madison Square Garden eight, 10 times. They got hits on the radio, everywhere. Songs is everywhere.
“He told me he was gonna become a rockstar […] Most people that come up to me and talk about Uzi Vert were probably like 10 years old [when that interview came out]. They was tight, they was mad that I did that to Uzi Vert. [But] like I said before, time will tell.”
Ebro then applied pressure on Uzi to prove him wrong: “Where you at, my guy? Where you at, bro? Didn’t he just retire, too? Wasn’t he just like, ‘Yo, I’m tired, I’m done.’ Come on, son. You supposed to be a rock star. What happened?”

Weeks later, Uzi shared a photo of a handwritten tracklist to their Instagram Story that was concealed by a watch and two Roc-A-Fella chains – with the exception of a track titled “Chill Ebro.” He later deleted the post before it expired.
