Playboi Carti is currently making his way across the United States on his "Antagonist" tour, and during a recent show, he delivered a message about one of his most prominent collaborators. Onstage at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, he showed love to Lil Uzi Vert. He even seemingly brought up their unreleased collaborative mixtape, 16*29.
“I wish my brother Uzi was here," he said, as seen in a clip shared by Kurrco. "Whatever I can do, I’ll do it... 16*29 forever.”
Of course, Carti's remarks have fans reminiscing and expressing their hopes for the future. "Album woulda broke the internet 💔," one social media user writes. "16*29 in 2026 would save Uzi’s career," another claims.
Playboi Carti and Lil Uzi Vert have a complicated history. In 2021, however, they joined forces onstage at Rolling Loud New York to put their differences aside publicly.

In 2023, Uzi also complimented Playboi Carti during an interview with TMZ. "I like the new Carti. Carti dropped two new songs," they said. At the time, they were also asked whether or not the new songs would be on their collab album. "I ain't gonna lie, I don't know," they admitted. "We got so much music. We got a million songs. I'd love to be on there though."
Lil Uzi Vert isn't the only person Playboi Carti could be collaborating with again, either. During his show in Kanye West's hometown of Chicago last month, he showed the controversial artist some love. "Yo Kanye, I love you," he said simply.
Before that, Ye spent several months blasting Carti on X for leaving him off of MUSIC. He also discussed their falling out during his infamous interview with DJ Akademiks. "Carti took the blue pill," he explained. "But he made his name off of the red pill. The Matrix. The red pill is the n****s like Neo, the blue pill are the agents. So now Carti is an agent."
