Lil Uzi Vert says they're done having a phone.

Lil Uzi Vert says they're going to destroy their phone after sharing the cover art of The Pink Tape. Uzi made the declaration during a video that's circulating on social media. Uzi previously teased a potential option for the cover art on his IG Story, last week.

"I think after I drop the cover I'm gonna break my phone and I'm not gonna need a phone anymore. I'm just gonna let it work, I don't want a phone anymore," Uzi stated. "I'm done with having a phone. I don't really need a phone. If people wanna contact me, via email or you can call my management."

Uzi has been active on social media in recent weeks, revealing more and more details about The Pink Tape. On Instagram Live last week, Uzi teased how long the project will be. "Probably like 24 or 25 new, well 24 new joints because everyone has heard 'Just Wanna Rock,'" they explained. "Then two at the very, very bottom, bottom, bottom, bottom that a lot of people love, but the world they didn’t really get to hear them." Uzi added that the bonus songs "are special to me that some people love that it didn't really get the reach that they would've liked."

As for when fans will be able to listen to The Pink Tape in its entirety, Uzi has said that it will be dropping in the coming weeks. "The album is coming at the end of this month. I can't hold off anymore," they said during one Instagram Live session. "Even if I have to drop it myself, it's coming out at the end of the month." Many fans have speculated that Uzi could intend to release the project on June 23 because it's National Pink Day in the U.S.
