Lil Uzi Vert at the Grammy Awards

Lil Uzi Vert is renowned for the hit “XO Tour Llif3” and his unique style. Yet, he turned heads at the 2018 Grammy Awards, not just for his nomination for ‘Best New Artist’ but for his quiet demeanor during an interview with Giuliana Rancic. Lil Uzi’s energetic music and lively persona are a part of his brand, so his unwillingness to speak left Giuliana puzzled.

It was as if Lil Uzi decided to let his silence speak volumes, turning the interview into a minimalist performance art piece. Maybe he was contemplating the deeper meaning of life, or perhaps he just forgot to press “play” on his internal soundtrack.
