Lil Uzi Vert is an artist who has consistently been criticized for their various references to the occult. Overall, the satanic panic that is currently going around has been humorous to watch. Some people really believe that Uzi is conjuring up the devil by wearing upside-down crosses. It is all very silly, and it truly feels like we are back in the 90s when parents were upset with Marilyn Manson. However, Uzi continues to provoke people, and it has ultimately led to the current discourse.

In a recent interview with GQ, Lil Uzi Vert got to speak on a whole host of different topics. For instance, they talked about the influence of Young Thug, their conversations with Nicki Minaj, as well as being inspired by Chance The Rapper. Moreover, Uzi got to speak on all of the controversy surrounding their supposed satanism. As you can imagine, they find this all very amusing. Additionally, they said that every religion is a cult in one way or another. It's just that some are more accepted than others.

“Do these people think me being Satanic is what helps my success?” they said. “Or that I’m trying to force people into the occult? Any type of religion is some type of a cult. Being Christian is a cult. You all meet at a place to pray and worship.” It's a solid point, although there are plenty of people who would take large issue with this kind of characterization.
