Birdman, the rap mogul from New Orleans, caused quite a stir when he recently shared a studio photo of himself with Lil Uzi Vert. However, some fans couldn’t help but question the authenticity of the image, suggesting that Birdman might have Photoshopped himself into the picture.
On Tuesday (August 1), Birdman posted the intriguing photo on his Instagram Stories. In the snapshot, Lil Uzi Vert is seen laying down vocals in the recording booth as they work on their upcoming joint project, Barter 16, which seems to draw inspiration from Young Thug’s style.
In the background, Birdman is seated on a sofa behind Lil Uzi Vert, while London On Da Track, the producer behind Thugga’s 2015 mixtape Barter 6, casually leans against the wall next to them.
Birdman captioned the image with, “THUGGIN @liluzivert @londonondatrack STUNNAMAN RICHGANG @cashmoneyofficial,” referencing both Lil Uzi Vert and London On Da Track, along with their affiliation with Cash Money Records.
However, as the picture spread across social media, fans couldn’t resist making jokes about Birdman’s appearance, speculating that he may have altered the photo in some way.
One Instagram user commented, “Why does this lowkey look like a fake photo? 😂” Another person added humorously, “Birdman always looks like an evil villain plotting his next move lol.”
There were also remarks about Lil Uzi Vert’s gestures in the photo, with one fan jokingly mentioning, “So Uzi a blood now 😂 I thought he was leslie,” making reference to the rapper’s sassy, Hangover-inspired alter-ego he introduced earlier that year.
It’s evident that Birdman and Lil Uzi Vert’s studio photo has sparked curiosity and amusement among their fans, further fueling anticipation for their collaborative project Barter 16. With their intriguing social media presence, both artists have been channeling their inner Young Thug lately, captivating audiences and building excitement for what’s to come.
