Many of Lil Uzi Vert’s fans were worried by reports of his death, but the rapper is still very much alive. What started this myth, though? On July 31, the 27-year-old creator of the hit “The Way Life Goes” had a birthday party. He first addressed questions about his age in 2021 when he said his mother had finally located his birth certificate. Though his fellow musicians sent birthday greetings, several followers were concerned after reading conflicting information online regarding a hypothesis involving the band’s “Club 27.”
Explaining the death rumours of the rapper Lil Uzi Vert
The 27-year-old Lil Uzi Vert is alive and well and celebrated his birthday on Sunday, July 31. In the last 24 hours, he has been rather active on Instagram, reposting birthday wishes and messages from other rappers on his Instagram Stories. For various reasons, celebrities often become the targets of vicious rumours that cause unnecessary worry and confusion among their devoted followers. Since the so-called “Club 27” hypothesis swept Twitter, bogus rumours about celebrities have been rampant, and Lil Uzi Vert is the most recent target. A previous TikTok video with a bogus report was likely the origin of the death hoax.
Explaining the Theory of “Club 27”
To support their Club 27 idea, the authors provide a roll call of prominent faces who all passed away by the time they were 27. According to Rolling Stone, “nineties grunge” was created after Kurt Cobain’s death in 1994 at 27. According to this notion, 27 is a fateful age since it was the last known age of death for artists Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, and Brian Jones. In 2016, while attending the SXSW Festival, Lil Uzi Vert chatted with Nardwuar, the Human Serviette, who seems to be the origin of the latest death rumour circulating about the rapper.
Lil Uzi Vert discussed Marilyn Manson in a 12-minute interview, available on YouTube. Uzi adds, “At the age of 27, I will depart this world for this guy right here.” He is the White Emperor. In November 2020, however, the artist corrected the record of the hypothesis. He wrote I let this go so long I never said I’d die. You do realise that the phrase “leave the Earth” refers to the use of the drug DMT, right? As DMT is short for N, N-Dimethyltryptamine, the rapper also said he expected to be “high” at 27. But he concluded his tweet of explanation with the message, “Say no to drugs!”
Fans Concerned about the rapper death rumours
Many of Lil Uzi Vert’s followers were left scared and angry when the death fake spread on Twitter thanks to the ‘Club 27’ idea. I become nervous whenever I see a rapper’s name and age. Someone tweeted that they thought Lil Uzi Vert was dead at 27. Another user noted, “Lil Uzi Vert is 27 and ain’t dead.” For the last five years, I’ve been warned that he’ll pass away before 27. Other users were unconvinced that Lil Uzi Vert, at 27, would ever leave Club 27. According to another source, Lil Uzi Vert just turned 27 years old. Don’t let anything happen to that guy.
