Lil Uzi Vert was taken to a hospital following a medical episode in New York City.
According to a report TMZ published Tuesday, April 22, police flocked to Lower Manhattan after paramedics were called to tend to a "sick person" around 2:30 p.m. yesterday. In footage the outlet released, the "Just Wanna Rock" rapper was loaded onto an ambulance while security used black umbrellas to cover them. Uzi was conscious when paramedics treated them and the rapper's girlfriend, JT, was there while they treated the 29-year-old. Uzi was taken to the emergency room and stayed overnight.
It's not clear what happened to Lil Uzi Vert. As of this report, the Philly native is still in the hospital, but their condition is unknown. Neither Uzi nor JT has posted any updates to their social media accounts.
Lil Uzi Vert hasn't been outside lately, but the platinum-selling artist has been cooking up something new. Uzi's last post features a carousel of photos that appear to be from a recording studio. They rocked a pair of headphones and flashed stacks of cash while music blared in the background.
It's not clear what Uzi was working on, but fans are eager to hear what's to come after their last project Eternal Atake 2. There have been rumors about the possibility of a third installment of LUV Is Rage, however, the album's release date has not been confirmed.
We hope Lil Uzi Vert gets well soon.
