Lil Uzi Vert Claims Jay Z Compared Him To Prince

Uzi Says He’s Now ‘Lil Prince’ After Jay Z Compared Him To Prince

Lil Uzi Vert has quite a number of monikers, he’s known as Baby Pluto, Orenji, Sasuke, or simply Uzi. Well, the rapper is trying to add a new moniker to his growling list of nicknames.

Uzi has always been one of the most original forces in hip-hop. His beat selection, courtesy of Maaly Raw, Brandon Finessin, Supah Mario, and many other talented producers, is out-of-this-world and so is his overall persona.

Uzi is one of the strangest people in rap, embracing his quirks and challenging the norm on a daily basis. Last week, he shook the world up when he debuted his brand new forehead piercing, featuring a $24 million pink diamond.

According to his latest tweet, the 26-year-old Philadelphia native has been catching up with his Roc Nation boss Jay-Z, who has allegedly compared him to one of the all-time icons of the music industry.

“OG and Hov said I’m Like Prince ..so I’m Lil Prince now,” Uzi wrote on Twitter. While Uzi’s music sounds very different from Prince’s, both artists conducted themselves in the most fascinating of ways.
