SoundCloud rap vs. Cloud rap
I really think that the tag in the article's music style is more SoundCloud rap (Mumble rap) than Cloud rap(Trillwave). Uzi concentrates more on the aesthetics in lyrical form than production wise. It's just basic trap beats but they still sound good. Just want to point that out since I can edit it myself. Picaxe01talk 02:00, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks the post. The way Wikipedia works is you would need reliable sources discussing his music. To remove a sourced genre with the way you are saying, you would have to have multipe reliable sources saying that it is not cloud rap. I am always open to removing genres from the infobox since a lot of people like to add way too many. StaticVapor message me!   11:13, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Those are reliable sources, I support the addition of mumble rap. After further review of the citation for cloud rap, the source does not call his music Cloud rap, it just says he has cloud rap-like beats. That does not make him a Cloud rap artist. StaticVapor message me!   09:15, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I also removed lo-fi since the cited source only labels one song (not all of his music) as this genre. That makes it WP:UNDUE weight for infobox. StaticVapor message me!   09:20, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Lil Uzi Vert just identified on his Twitter (I already left a source) that corrects the popular misconception that he was born in 1994, he revealed he was actually born in 1995 here. Dinosauce2001 (talk) 11:02, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

~[ALL changes are indicated by "*"]~

The birth year needs to be corrected in 2 different locations:

1. [Intro] "Symere Bysil Woods (born July 31, *1995*), known professionally as Lil Uzi Vert..."

2. [Early Life] "Symere Woods was born July 31, *1995*, in North Philadelphia's Francisville neighborhood."

Also, the end paragraph (indicated by ¶ below) in the "Early Life" section has a minor spacing typo in the last line (fixed below), and the full paragraph should be moved to the end of the "Intro" section for easier reading/better placement (doesn't fit in the category)

¶ "In July 2021, Woods revealed on a tweet that his birth certificate shows he was born in 1995, after erroneously believing he was born a year earlier *— in 1994."

~[Change in birth year was already made elsewhere on the page. Hope this helps!]~ EkkoRoze (talk) 07:12, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

I meant that the paragraph to be moved doesn't fit into the "Early Life" section and would fit better in the Intro section instead. EkkoRoze (talk) 07:19, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Conflicting information between two articles wrt pink diamond on forehead
"In June 2021, Woods removed the diamond from his forehead.[158] In September 2021, Woods revealed that during a July performance, fans at a music festival ripped the diamond out of his forehead while he was crowd surfing.[159]" These two articles are in conflict with one another. How did Woods choose to remove the diamond in June due to a performance that happened in July? Is this because he remembered incorrectly in the interview?

I did find the festival he's talking about. It was the Rolling Loud Festival in Miami that ran from July 23-25, 2021. IrateSpecialist (talk) 19:39, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

The source on the page previously was a link to an image with no URL or way to verify it. Is there a reliable source that lists their full name?

The whole page is written with incorrect grammar. "They" is used to describe the artist that this article is about, which is incorrect because it is in plural form. He is only 1 artist, not a band or musical group. Unfortunately, I am unable to edit so I am submitting this request to have it corrected.

Pronouns
People are already making edits on his pronouns just because it says they/them on instagram. He hasn't confirmed this matter in any interview or post yet. Revert back to male pronouns until something is said. XDPOGCHAMPEPEGA (talk) 03:02, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

 * https://pitchfork.com/news/lil-uzi-vert-pronouns-are-they-them/ WynnAurelium (talk) 18:06, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The Pitchfork article does not include a source or any proof of these statements. It just says that someone spoke to someone and that's it. Why doesn't the artist himself proclaim those pronouns? Why aren't there any more articles talking about it if it's indeed the truth? 83.22.71.29 (talk) 21:06, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * @83.22.71.29 WP:CRYSTAL
 * There is compelling evidence that they use they/them pronouns, and there is 0 compelling evidence that they don't. If we were to write that Uzi uses he/him pronouns it would just be speculation that goes in contrary to what actual reported evidence shows. That's not what an encyclopedia does. The fact that you don't want to admit your favourite rapper might be gender nonconforming for whatever reason doesn't actually affect that. Also, there's only one article in support of most of the claims on this page. That's fine, they aren't controversial claims and if we distrust the source then we shouldn't be using it anyway.
 * If you find some compelling evidence that they're "just trolling" when they say they use they/them pronouns then it might be worth putting in the article. However, you haven't, so it isn't. KaryosSymra (talk) 08:38, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
