Bio of Lil Uzi Vert
Born and named Symere Woods on July 31, 1994 in North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America. The black American rapper would adopt “Lil Uzi Vert” as his stage name. He fell in love with music in the early stages of his life listening to Mike Jones and Ying Yang. It wasn’t until he heard his classmate William Aston Freestyle in class that Lil Uzi decided that he didn’t just want to listen to music, he wanted to sing too.
Together with William Aston, he founded a rap group, and one of their friends, the group was called “Steak down”, the group did not survive, but it was the basis of what Lil Uzi would become. Lil dropped out of school and tried to work with Bottom Dollar, his job didn’t last more than 14 days and he left, his angry mother kept throwing him out of the house. The pain was what turned Uzi into gains and he took his rap very seriously.
Luck smiled at Uzi Vert when Don Cannon heard his Don is a producer and DJ and hooked Uzi up with another DJ, DJ Drama. The duo and Leighton Morrison have signed Uzi to a record entitled Generation Now.
Uzi became official in 2015 with the release of his mixtape, Luv is Rage, and the mixtape was widely received. He dropped another mixtape titled “Lil Uzi vs The World” in 2016 and made it his 3rd release, the mixtape had some mesmerizing tracks that got the whole world dancing. The album made the top 50 on the Billboard 200.

What is his net worth?

As of 2018, the value of Uzi is estimated at $7million. As a young artist with many opportunities, the number could double in a very short time if he doesn’t get involved in frivolous spending like other stars.
Who is the girlfriend or is he gay?
Uzi’s body, eye and tongue movements have disappeared, leaving many of his fans wondering if he’s straight or gay. In one of the Young Thug’s Instagram pictures, his sitting position with Uzi looked like they were gay, and one follower actually called them gay in the comments section. An online video on YouTube soon featured Uzi as one of the gayest rappers.
However, online media revealed that Uzi took to his Twitter page on the 8th August 2017 to clear the air that he is indeed bisexual. His male partner is unknown, unlike his known girlfriend.
Back in 2014, Uzi started a relationship with an American stylist named Brittany Byrd. Born in Los Angeles, USA, she affirmed her interest in art when she chose Henri Matisse’s coloring books over Bratz dolls.
She attended and graduated from the Parson School of Design and also worked as a fashion editor at Kode Magazine. Since meeting the rapper, she’s become the brains behind his everyday looks. She was featured in the video of the song by Uzi Vert entitled “Money Longer”. She has also worked for notable artists such as Chris Brown and a few others.

However, Uzi’s relationship with Byrd came to an end in 2016. Uzi’s song, titled “Stole Your Love”, was believed to address the ending of his relationship with the stylist.
Like the saying true love is, Uzi took to his Twitter to share his picture with Byrd. The title was “more than a friend”, which was widely believed to represent the rebirth of their friendship.
In August 2017, Lil Uzi shared tongue kisses with curvaceous American fitness model and Instagram influencer Brittany Renner (Brittany Bundle on social media).
