Lil Uzi Vert’s birthday party took place on July 31. And shortly after, a video went viral of them looking miserable while everyone else celebrated. The artist is speaking out about what was going through their head. And why they weren’t into the celebration.
Why Lil Uzi Vert’s Birthday Wasn’t A Happy One
The rapper turned 27 and was shown love from friends, fans, and girlfriend JT. But in a video that’s been making rounds online LUV looks like they are being held hostage. The internet instantly started calling out the artist and seemed to be worried about what was happening with them.
In the video the Philly native is sitting at a table with all their loved ones and a massive cake with sparkling candles. However, the only person not smiling is the guest of honor. All of their friends are smiling and seem to be enjoying themselves, but the artist not only seems uncomfortable, they seem annoyed. In the video they even question how to blow out the candles. Saying “How? I don’t wish.”
Uzi heard the chatter about the video. And took to Twitter on August 2 to address the concerns. “Every time I have a birthday dinner I reflect on my past and it makes me sad.” They continue by saying they are excited on the inside, but afraid to show it. And thanked everyone for the love. But ended by saying “I hate my birthday lol.”

Despite Lil Uzi Vert’s birthday not being something they enjoy celebrating. Their City Girl partner went all out showering them with love on Instagram. Calling them “a dream come true” and “one of [her] greatest rewards.” And on top of her heartfelt post the “Twerkulator”rapper even got the “Red & White” artist a Maybach van.
Despite looking uncomfortable at their dinner Lil Uzi Vert’s birthday wasn’t all negative. They did look excited when celebrating their birthday in the club. The rapper not only hung out with James Harden and NAV, but they brought a ton of cash for the bash!
