Jan. 12, 2018: Rich The Kid Responds to Lil Uzi Vert's Tweet Directed at DJ Drama
Uzi's souring label situation with DJ Drama has been well documented. The Philly native signed to Drama and DJ Don Cannon's Generation Now imprint back in 2015, but is unhappy with how things have turned in the record deal years later.
Lil Uzi Vert once again went public with the in-house disagreement, but also wanted to give his younger audience some knowledge about the music industry by tweeting, "And if y'all do sign … sign 2 a major Don't sign 2 a rapper or a Dj It's Just Easier When The Time Come For That Fake S–t."
A couple hours later, the "New Freezer" rapper teased Uzi about his label situation and how he needed to join the 25-year-old's Rich Forever Music imprint when he had the chance, "That's why you SHOULDA signed [with] Rich forever," the ATLien tweeted.
And if y'all do sign … sign 2 a major Dont sign 2 a rapper or a Dj ……..Its Just Easier When The Time Come For That Fake Shit —-®?
