American rapper Lil Uzi Vert sparked backlash online after they featured a new tongue tattoo. On Monday, April 10, Twitter user @uziawge posted a clip of the 27-year-old personality where they can be seen showing off their new body art.
In the viral footage, the fan recorded the rapper, who opened up and showed their tongue with an upside-down cross tattoo. They also had a head tattoo, but it is difficult to spot in the video. As per Body Art Guru, the rapper has 54 tattoos, and the two new ones are an addition to them.
The tattoo was not well perceived by Uzi Vert's fans, who criticized the rapper for promoting their satanic beliefs.
Twitter reactions on Lil Uzi Vert's new tattoo
After Lil Uzi Vert's video showcasing his upside-down cross tongue tattoo went viral, Twitterati was furious. Several users slammed the Myron rapper for promoting Satanism and vowed never to listen to their songs.
Others accused them of selling off their soul and took a dig at their songs, stating the quality has been declining with the increasing number of their tattoos.
Lil Uzi Vert denies worshipping Satan
While speaking to TMZ in March 2023, Lil Uzi Vert addressed the speculation that they worshiped the devil. The rapper talked about a track they debuted at Rolling Loud California, where they sang that they would "make a City Girl believe in Satan."
"Not actually Satan, but just basically, I make a girl do whatever I say so. [JT] didn't think too much of it."
They further clarified by saying:
“I just say whatever I want in my songs. It’s just like my freedom of speech. I come from a real religious household, but I like me finding [and] living my life and being, like, I guess [as] ‘an adult,’ I say anything I want to say. Even if I offend people, I don’t mean to offend people, but if they don’t like it, they have the option to turn it off.”
Lil Uzi is known for their extensive collection of tattoos. They also have a mythological creature with a snake wrapping around their head, chest, and other areas on their back.
On April 7, Drake debuted his much-anticipated collaboration with Uzi titled At the Gates on SiriusXM's Sound 42. The rapper recently revealed that they have recorded 680 songs for their upcoming album, Pink Tape.
While speaking to TMZ, Lil Uzi Vert said they stopped using drugs to record this project but admitted it was "challenging" at first.
"I thought that my creative process wasn't gone be the same because I wasn't on drugs no more, but it was the same, even better."
Earlier in April, Lil Uzi performed at the highly-anticipated annual WrestleMania event. Before The Usos, Joshua Samuel Fatu, and Jonathan Solofa Fatu's wrestling match against Sami Zayn and 8 Kevin Owens for the WWE Tag Team Championship, the 27-year-old performed his song Just Wanna Rock.
Born on July 31, 1995, Lil Uzi Vert's real name is Symere Bysil Woods. They are a native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They first got noticed when the commercial mixtape Luv Is Rage came out in 2015. This led to a recording deal with Atlantic Records, which was signed under DJ Drama's Generation Now label.
