Lil Uzi Vert had a few choice words for his fans after they were quick to dismiss a song snippet he shared.
After Uzi teased the unreleased track on social media, disillusioned fans questioned whether he’s lost his touch.
He weighed in on Twitter, writing, “They just tryna hear the real deal and I only let them hear the fake 🤭😂 I am stepping bad on this album and y’all ain’t hear nothin maybe alil but nothin 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Trust me 😏.”
He continued his response by tweeting directly to a fan who asked if he was scared he’d fall off.
“Hell no I’m not scared I got that shit on god and I don’t even be saying on god nothin to talk about,” he wrote, adding in a separate tweet, “Trust me you will be back they always come back.”
The lukewarm response from fans comes after Uzi proclaimed earlier this month he was “going back to classic mode” with The Pink Tape.
“This time less talkin’ more working,” Uzi wrote on his Instagram Stories. “Going back in classic mode. I been [through] 2 much this time around. Nothin’ can break me.”
This isn’t the first time fans have questioned Uzi’s output recently. The rapper faced another round of intense disapproval from listeners back in February after he shared a snippet he later claimed was just a joke.
“Bro that snippet weren’t it,” wrote one fan in an IG DM to Uzi. “I love u uzi but it’s been 2 years man, these mainstream fans don’t even kno all the heat u made. u know u could come so much harder than that if u tryna build hype.”
Uzi responded by saying he was simply trolling. “I wouldn’t play the real songs because people say they wanna hear snippets,” he wrote. “Trolling them. Bitch.”
While an official release date for The Pink Tape remains elusive, the album would be Lil Uzi Vert’s first project since his collaborative Pluto X Baby Pluto tape with Future, which dropped in November 2020. The new album would mark his first solo effort since March 2020’s Eternal Atake.
