Early Thursday afternoon, multi-platinum rapper Lil Uzi Vert took to Twitter to open up to his fans. He revealed that his grandmother, who took care of him during his adolescence, has been battling serious medical complications for past few months. Without going into too much detail about such a personal matter, Lil Uzi explained that a few months ago her doctor discovered “a tumor over her eye”. The tumor was partially removed, but upon her initial awakening post-operation, she had a stroke and lost mobility in the left side of her body. This seemed to be a major setback in recovery, but with rehabilitation and plenty of love and support from himself and their family, she’s out of the hospital now and doing much better.
The rapper needed time to understand the sudden circumstances before involving the public. He posted another tweet saying, “I Been Flexing So Hard And Buying The World [] Because Deep Down I’m Hurt.” For such a young man, this situation must have weighed greatly on his mind and heart. An experience we’ve all been through due to a loved one’s health. This explains exactly why he has been keeping new releases and his career on the back burner. As always, family comes first.
