Lil Uzi Vert recently hopped onto their alternate Instagram account, @lifeisarollout, to showcase their progress at the gym while also teasing their upcoming album. “So first off this is gonna be one of MY BEST ALBUMS !!!!! IM READY FOR WHATEVER P***Y,” they wrote. Uzi appears prepared for whatever comes their way, and DJ Akademiks recently shared a clip on Instagram showing the rapper going through an intense boxing workout.
In the footage, the Philly MC moves around the ring with their trainer, throwing jabs and working on their defense while displaying quick reflexes, balance, and control. Fans in the comments were impressed by what they saw, with many also bringing up Lil Uzi Vert’s past feuds and telling the artist’s former rivals to keep their distance.
The most notable of those conflicts is Uzi’s feud with Rich The Kid, after Uzi famously confronted Rich in 2018 in an attempt to settle their issues. Some commenters also brought up Lil Yachty, although rumors of beef between the two aren’t strongly supported. The two 2016 XXL Freshmen have been the subject of speculation surrounding their relationship for years, but both artists have previously dismissed the idea of any serious tension or conflict.
Either way, the boxing footage makes it clear that anyone looking to pick a fight with Uzi may have a tough time coming out on top. Hopefully, that same focused and driven energy is making its way into the studio as the 31-year-old works on their next album.
Lil Uzi Vert released the Maverick “Almost Forever” EP earlier this year, and the project received a mixed response. Some fans praised the shorter tracklist and Uzi’s ability to keep things catchy and entertaining, while others viewed it as one of the artist’s weakest releases to date. Following the underwhelming reception to projects like Eternal Atake 2, there is plenty of anticipation surrounding Uzi’s next full-length effort.
During this early stage of the rollout, Uzi has also leaned heavily into weapon-related imagery that many fans believe could be connected to the eventual full Maverick album. The repeated references to conflict have left some longtime listeners wondering what’s coming. Still, hitting the gym and sharpening their boxing skills point to discipline and personal growth, which could be exactly the mindset Uzi is carrying into whatever comes next.
