The Philly native was recently spotted showing off their new ink, including an upside down cross on their tongue and a tribal design on their forehead where their $24 million pink diamond once was.
Fans took to Twitter on Sunday (April 9) to react to Uzi’s new ink, with some claiming they’ll no longer listen to their music due to them being a “Satanist” and on “devil shit.”
“I can’t listen to Lil Uzi’s music no more he on some weirdo shit,” one person wrote. “I am God’s warrior, I will beat him up if he on some devil or anti God energy. This is disturbing.”

Others tweeted: “Lil Uzi Vert = Lu Ci Fer. He’s a devout Satanist,” along with: “It’s getting corny now uzi, we get it u love satan.”
Another fan added: “deez rappers sold their soulds. for quick fame. Lil Uzi is possesed lol. will be blocking most rap music in my life from now on. except 50 cent.”
Lil Uzi Vert’s fresh ink comes after they were criticized for rapping about Satan on an unreleased song they debuted at Rolling Loud California last month.
“I make a City Girl believe in Satan,” Uzi said on the song, referring to their girlfriend, JT.
According to Baby Pluto, though, the line was a simply a metaphor and shouldn’t be taken literally. “Basically, I make a girl do whatever I say so,” they told TMZ when asked about the controversial lyric.
Uzi also revealed that JT “didn’t think much of it” and she was even in the studio when they recorded the song.
