Even though we are still waiting for Nicki’s album, she has been keeping us wanting more with these features. Lil Uzi and Nicki recorded the remix track for Uzi single “The Way Life Goes” back in November and the video was released yesterday evening.
The DAPdirected video starts off with Lil Uzi tired up to a tree in the forest and then the video goes into Nicki in a cabin with a very sharp object and rope as well. The word from xxlmag.com although the song released in November, Nicki revealed in October that the remix had been done for quite some time. Responding to a fan who asked about the track, Minaj said, “Been done!!! But apparently, someone somewhere wants to hold back on putting it out right now. It’s not me & it’s not Uzi tho. Tea anyone?”
In related Lil Uzi Vert news, the rapper will compete against SZA, Khalid and singer Julia Michaels at the upcoming 2018 Grammy Awards for the Best New Artist award. Lil Uzi is also nominated for Best Rap Performance with Migos thanks to their collaboration, “Bad and Boujee.”
