Lil Uzi Vert has ignited concerns among fans after a recent video surfaced, seemingly capturing the rapper inhaling nitrous oxide while in the studio. The clip, which began circulating on social media on Monday (August 26), shows the “XO Tour Llif3” artist with a party balloon, possibly filled with gas, in hand as he hangs out with friends.
In the video, one of Uzi’s friends excitedly shouts, “My son is back! We got Uzi back!” to which the rapper, also known as Baby Pluto, responds with a cheerful, “Yes sir!” before breaking into laughter.
The footage also shows multiple balloons and an unmarked canister, likely used to inflate them, raising suspicions among fans.
Many fans were quick to speculate that Lil Uzi Vert was inhaling nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as laughing gas due to its euphoric effects. The speculation has sparked a wave of concern and criticism across social media platforms.
“Is this why his music sounds so off lately? Nitrous must’ve fried his brain,” one user commented on X, reflecting the growing worries among fans. Another expressed disappointment, stating, “If he’s using nitrous in the studio, he might as well retire.”
“Luv Is Rage 3 is shaping up to be his worst album, and his mind is clearly suffering.” A third commenter lamented the drug’s rising popularity, adding, “This is a serious issue.”
As the video continues to circulate, fans are left questioning the potential impact of Lil Uzi Vert’s alleged substance use on his music and overall well-being.
