Lil Uzi Vert has provided more details on who gave him his rap name. In a 2916 interview with VIBE, the chart-topping rapper had already disclosed “some guy” told him that he rapped fast and gave him his name.
“Some guy was just like ‘you rap fast, man,” he said at the time. “Like a little machine gun’ and from that moment I was Lil Uzi.”
But during a livestream with some friends on Friday (December 10), Uzi revealed he actually got his name from a “crackhead” who told him he rapped fast, rather than just “some guy.”
“I got named by a crackhead,” Uzi interjected as the other guests talked about how they’d discovered his music.
“He said you rapped fast?” asked one of the streamers, to which Uzi replied, “Yeah, yeah he’s a good guy.”

Aside from livestreaming, Lil Uzi Vert has been working on getting in shape. In an exclusive video interview with Men’s Health published on Tuesday (December 7), the rap star had cameras join him at Gotham Gym in New York City to give his fans a glimpse at the workout routine that has transformed his body. According to Uzi, he’s put on 10 pounds of muscle in four to five months, and he’s been really enjoying it.
“Working out definitely helps me with my performance and I think that people that’s probably, you know, stressed a lot and going through stuff, they should work out,” he said. “I’m one of those people that be in my head and it makes me go crazy … See how heavy I’m breathing, I’m getting all of my anxiety out and stuff.”
The Eternal Atake artist aims to completely transform himself so fans don’t recognize him.
“I weigh 142,” he said. “My goal is 155-ish, all muscle. In six months, we’ll do another one of these, I’ll be 155. Y’all be like, ‘Damn! It’s not the same person.’”
Makes sense cuz he looks like one.
Dude should stop doing interviews…
liluzivert = Lucifer
and that he shoots his uzi directed towards heaven
This is exactly the story i heard as well. My dude backpedaling
“A 2916 interview with Vibe”? How did he have an interview almost 900 years in the future? And who was the crackhead, Soulja Boy?
How does someone go from hanging out with a crackhead to hanging out with Kardashians ? And I still dont get the “vert” part of his name. Did he ever drive a donk ?
Just like How the majority of successful rappers went from the hood to the elite circles,nothing out of the ordinary
Vert is from vertical straight to the top you dumbass
so he used to indulge in crack.. got it
