Did Lil Uzi Vert Quit Because He Is Gay?


What! Lil Uzi Vert's been preparing for the album's release throughout 2018. The rapper announced his departure from the rap game via instagram saying "I'm done with music I deleted everything I wanna be normal". He added at the bottom of that post, "You are free."

Vert gained attention after appearing on Migos’ song “Bad and Boujee,” which reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in January 2017. That same year, in June, his song “XO Tour Llif3” peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song went quadruple platinum, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. His debut studio album, Luv Is Rage 2, premiered at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Apparently, the rapper was overwhelmed with his career choice and decided it was time to go back to his life before the fame. This is the message he wrote to fans on Instagram stories account: “I wanna take the time out to say I thank each and every one of my supporters, but I’m done with Music. I deleted everything. I wanna be normal… I wanna wake up in 2013. You are free.”

Lil Uzi Vert has collaborated with artists including Mac Miller, Migos, and Post Malone. He also makes money from touring and album sales. The rapper earns roughly $60,000 per show. Lil Uzi Vert has a net worth of $17 million according to Celebrity Net Worth.
