Kanye West has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to share an update on Lil Uzi Vert’s condition following reports that the rapper was rushed to a hospital in New York earlier this week.
On Wednesday (April 23), Ye posted a screenshot of a text exchange with producer Digital Nas, who had looped him into a conversation with individuals reportedly close to Uzi and the unfolding situation.
According to the texts, a source close to Uzi—whose name wasn’t disclosed—provided limited but somewhat reassuring information. “Ike is going to get an update for me when he's awake,” the message read. “They’re saying he was just dehydrated, but I know there’s more to it.” The message also noted that Uzi’s cousin had confirmed, “Uzi is okay.”
The update came after TMZ initially broke the story on Monday, reporting that emergency services were called to a luxury apartment building in New York City over concerns about a "sick person." Paramedics reportedly transported Uzi from the scene in an ambulance, but few official details have emerged regarding the rapper’s condition or what exactly led to the emergency response.
As of now, neither Lil Uzi Vert nor his management team has issued an official statement. The lack of clarity has left fans deeply concerned, prompting speculation and outpourings of support across social media platforms.
Kanye’s post is the first semi-direct insight into Uzi’s condition, offering some comfort to fans hoping for positive news. The situation remains fluid, and many are hoping for an official update from Uzi himself in the coming days.
