Overview
- In a new Dazed interview, Lil Uzi Vert says they were spending millions on designer gear to keep pace with Kanye West’s shopping, including heavy Balenciaga purchases.
- They recall West “covering a heavy tab,” stashing clothes in storage, and say he could afford the splurges “10 times more” than they could.
- Uzi places the competitive shopping during frequent hangouts in 2020, describing it as a period that pushed their own card to the limit.
- They link the repeated “Balenci” line in Eternal Atake’s track “POP” directly to that real-life spree.
- Discussing what’s next, Uzi says they feel no pressure to rush a new album after late-2025 singles and a 2025 Roc Nation Distribution deal, with no full-length formally announced.
