If you've been following Lil Uzi Vert lately, you might have noticed some pretty big changes. Last year, the rapper disclosed that they now identify using they/them pronouns. Shortly afterward, Uzi released their EP, Red+White, which includes a track named "Glock In My Purse," further indicating the rapper's new non-binary direction. Uzi also revealed that they are now a "sober man" and took to social media to notify their fans of the news. Despite celebrating their sobriety, Lil Uzi Vert has not stopped their typical unusual antics.
In addition to the personality changes, the rapper has made several physical modifications. Most notably, they have obtained six new facial piercings this year. They have also been seen rocking a punk-inspired hairstyle quite frequently. Earlier this year, they even flaunted a diamond implant on their forehead. It has since been removed. However, Uzi has also recently gotten a tongue tattoo and a forehead tattoo, both of which are permanent additions. Earlier this month, the rapper revealed a new alter ego: "Leslie."
"Leslie" Takes Japan
Leslie has been appearing quite frequently on Lil Uzi's social media recently. Some are very supportive of the new personality. Others, however, have taken the chance to mock Lil Uzi. Even Nicki Minaj has taken to her Instagram stories to poke fun the rapper's new alter-ego. Nicki's quip was quite innocent, merely pointing out that the hairstyle looks similar to hers from the "Bedrock" music video. On her story, Nicki posted a side-by-side image of her hair in the video and Uzi's new style, captioned "She said I can make your bed rock." Regardless, it seems like Leslie isn't going anywhere.
Lil Uzi, who is currently in Japan, posted a series of photos showing off the trip. The photos featured Leslie posing in a mirror and showing off their nails and matching vape. Fans took to the comment section to let Lil Uzi know how they feel. Many of the comments mentioned how they simple want Uzi to drop their new album, Pink Tape. "Leslie tell Uzi to drop the tape," one fan quipped. "Who cares drop the album," another agreed. What do you think of Leslie's trip to Japan? Let us know in the comments!
