Lil Uzi Vert's revelation of his age on his birthday

Not just his fans and close ones, Lil Uzi Vert himself believed that he was turning 27 on Saturday.  However, he expressed  his surprise that he was a year younger than he believed as his mother found his birth certificate recently.

"I’m turning 26??? My mom found my birth certificate," he wrote with mixed feelings.

Netizens too were surprised about his revelation. Many of them wrote 'only a year of Uzi left', 'please don't turn 27'and more, over his previous statement joking about dying at 27.

In another tweet, when he actually turned 26 instead of 27, he wrote that he was 'feeling good' to feel 26. 

Meanwhile, Lil Uzi Vert had made headlines recently when he claimed that he was in the process of buying a planet. This was after Tesla CEO Elon Musk's girlfriend, musician Grimes posted a photograph of the planet, which was termed as ''WASP-127b, a gas giant exoplanet 1.4x larger than Jupiter orbiting a yellow dwarf star (like ours)!".

She wrote 'Apparently' the artist  'owns this planet'. He had then replied that he tried to 'surprise everyone' and that he was still working on it. 

Grimes then tweeted that Lil Uzi Vert had completed the documentation for legally owning Wasp-127b. She had then written, 'this is huge', 'first human to legally own a planet'. Netizens were left surprised by the statements then.

Meanwhile, Lil Uzi Vert has acquired a big fan following, not just for his songs, but also his style that involves facial tattoos, facial piercings, and more. The rapper has featured on the Billboard 100, had been nominated at the 2018 Grammys for the Best New Artist category. He even won the MTV Video Music Award for Song of Summer for his first Top 10 single XO Tour Llif3.
