Lil Uzi Vert has taken a step forward and is going to the end of the year with his single “What Are You Saying,” which is set to be released at that time. The rapper did not just send out the news in a plain way but rather in a classy manner through a message that was penned completely in French, which immediately attracted people’s attention and gave rise to different reactions from the public. This cryptic, stylish announcement is a signature move for the artist.

The announcement was very straightforward but the unveiling was quite a spectacle. Uzi was so elegant that he resembled a world leader at a press conference and said, ‘It is nice to me to introduce my single ‘What You Saying’. The song will be out for the end of this year. Keep in mind, this is just the start. You all are welcome at my fashion event. Thanks for listening and patience. Best regards, Uzi.’ The switch to French, a language he seldom uses for such announcements, was already a hot topic of discussion.

One follower expressed a comment full of skepticism about the language choice and stated, ‘using another language for this purpose, if it is not good then we will be disappointed.’ The tone was suggestive of high expectations, which is a theme that comes up every time Uzi brings in new material. Another person pointed out the time, portraying the short window of time with a combination of humor and urgency: ‘“Later this year” uzi we have less than 3 weeks left of this year😭.’ This led to a small argument in the replies about interpretation and the release date, with some clarifying that ‘fin d’année’ equals ‘end of the year’ while others were speculating about a Christmas Day drop.

Amidst the logistical talk, the main excitement was very palpable. ‘NEW UZI IS WHAT WE NEEDED,’ one of the energetic comments declared, going directly to the feeling that is shared by most of the people whenever the rapper hints at making new music. Another comment just stated, ‘Uzi just continues to bless,’ acknowledging his constant output. The fashion show invitation was also quickly followed by grateful remarks like ‘Thanks for the invite ❤️,’ but not everyone interpreted it as an earnest offer. A sarcastic comment read, ‘Nga gon invite us to a fashion show like we asked to go. Give it up unc😂,’ displaying the sometimes strange nature of the interactions between celebrities and their fans.

The announcement also served as a catalyst for a flood of wishes for collaboration which was a sign that Uzi is a key player in the hip-hop scene. One user who was particularly impatient even went on to mention dream team-ups, he posted a list of requests including ‘COLLAB WITH BIGXTHAPLUG & TRIPPIE REDD 🔥🔥🔥’ and ‘COLLAB WITH FUTURE & YOUNG THUG 🔥🔥🔥.’ During the conversation, the topic of wished partnerships moved from Latto and Drake through J Dilla and J Cole, outlining the rich and wide-ranging sounds that the listeners associate with his potential.

Separating music from all this, the post initiated a discussion of Uzi’s art and the impact on culture. One of the funny exchanges was when a person tagged their cousins and said: ‘Oh god, don’t let my cousins see this 😂🙄.’ The tagged cousins then immediately decided to come to Uzi’s defense in the replies, one even going so far as to claim that he is ‘the closest thing we got to Michael Jackson 🤷🏽‍♂️,’ a statement that, though overstated, still demonstrates the keen loyalty he enjoys in certain segments of his audience.

Lil Uzi Vert has never turned into someone else, he has always remained the same and he is the one who has been mixing and uniting different musical styles and expressing it through his image. An official French announcement for a single called What You Saying and a concurrent fashion show is one way he is—surprising, and stylish, and generating discussions. His identity as an artist that sees his releases as a combination of music, fashion, and a specific vibe has been further established by this incident. The single can be next week’s release or the last day of the year, still, the message is given: the hype is now starting to build up, and everyone is anxious to see where the journey will lead us in this particular case of the start. He has consistently thanked fans for their support and promised more music, a promise he continues to deliver on. Furthermore, his recent work, like the track “Regular” where he declares “I do not panic”, shows his evolving artistic confidence.
