Lil Uzi Vert is not a fan of people who release singles and albums before they are ready to be officially dropped.
Uzi, who has been a victim of leaks themselves, took aim at leakers during an interview with Pitchfork’s Over/Under series.
Asked to pick something they thought was overrated, Uzi responded: “Leaks be so overrated. Leaks are not ready to be presented. When y’all get leaks, fans, or the leak police, or the leak scammers, or the people in those rooms and the discords and all that, when y’all sit there and y’all get 82 of my leaked songs, right, that I haven’t put together the right way.”
Uzi also blamed leaks for skewering perceptions of an artist: “[People] sit here and say, ‘Oh, Lil Uzi is trash.’ Y’all literally are basically watching me get dressed in my closet. I don’t got my clothes on yet. So y’all basically see me naked.”
They added: “So y’all n-ggas is trash. All y’all, y’all trash. Y’all not giving me a second to get dressed. So before I could dress the song up, y’all judge it. So leaks are horrible. It’s not even an over or underrated, horrible.”

Another thing Lil Uzi Vert believes is overrated is nitrous oxide usage.
Speaking in the same interview, Uzi said: “Don’t do whippets! Them jawns will — they is bad! Yo, don’t do them. They is bad. They’ll have you eating foods you never ate, they’ll have you hanging with people you never hung with. That’s just what I heard.”
They added: “Honestly, with no money and no narrative, whippets is really bad. I’m really saying that. I don’t saying nothing is bad; I’m the guy that loves everything. Whippets are fucking bad, bro.”
Whippets is a slang term for nitrous oxide and comes in the form of small metal cannisters.

The prolonged use of the drug can lead to brain damage, as well as problems with other organs and vitamin B12 deficiency.
Uzi also addressed fan concerns over their alleged use of nitrous oxide on their latest album Eternal Atake 2.
On the opening track “We Good,” the Philadelphia native responded to the rumors by spitting: “They said I was lost, they thought I was a dead guy, I was on that NOS.”
