The incident has intensified concern about the rapper’s health and well-being.
Here’s what happened to Lil Uzi Vert.
Lil Uzi Vert reportedly transported to hospital after he fell ill
Lil Uzi Vert fell ill at a luxury condominium in Lower Manhattan on April 21, 2025. Paramedics transported the rapper to a hospital in New York City.
They responded to an EMS call for a “sick person” and arrived that afternoon. Around 2.30 p.m. ET, they wheeled Lil Uzi Vert out on a gurney and loaded them into an ambulance. Security and the rapper’s girlfriend, former City Girls member JT, used black umbrellas to shield them from view during the transport.
According to TMZ‘s sources, Lil Uzi Vert was conscious while they were taken to the hospital. Paramedics then took them to the emergency room. Medical staff kept the rapper overnight. By the next morning, they remained hospitalized. Officials have not disclosed the cause of the illness or shared an update on their condition.
TMZ obtained footage showing emergency responders assisting someone believed to be Lil Uzi Vert. The outlet reported that the incident took place in Lower Manhattan and noted that the rapper’s team has not yet issued a public statement.
The 29-year-old singer has not released any solo material in 2025. They appeared on Skrilla’s “Walking Dead” in February. In 2024, they released Eternal Atake 2, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and earned 59,000 album-equivalent units in its first week (via Billboard).
In early 2025, Uzi made headlines with a social media post about Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. They wrote, “diamonds are better lil big bro,” alongside a photo of Hurts. The quarterback has not responded.
