Nicki Minaj and Lil Uzi Vert linked up for the remix of Uzi's "The Way Life Goes." While on the set of their video shoot for the single Nicki posted a video on Instagram with she and Uzi both visibly high, where she detailed why working with Lil Uzi was more than just hopping on a dope track. Nicki said:
Congratulations, we high as shit. We feelin' really good right now. We on the set of the video," she said, "It's just a pleasure to work with him. He just reminds me so much of Tunechi so everytime I see him, I'm always like, 'aww, my little baby,' because he just gives me the Lil Tunechi vibe. And so because of that, I love him. And I love this fuckin' song. Shout out to our fans and all of that... We're about to give you a killer video.
Some may find it quite blasphemous that Nicki is comparing Lil Uzi Vert to one of the most iconic MCs of the past generation but there are a few similarities. For instance, Weezy began calling himself a rockstar and Uzi has completely taken on that persona.
But what are your thoughts? Do you see any traces of Lil Wayne through Lil Uzi Vert? Watch the video above and let us know in the comments below.
