Fans are worried about Lil Uzi Vert after a video surfaced of him inhaling nitrous oxide, or “whippets,” in the studio.
In the clip, Uzi is seen inhaling from a party balloon while hanging with friends. One guy in the background shouts, “My son is back! We got Uzi back!” Uzi responds with a laugh, saying, “Yes sir!” as several other balloons and an unmarked canister, typically used for filling the balloons, are spotted nearby.
The video quickly sparked concern among fans. Some criticized the rapper’s behavior, while others expressed genuine worry for his health.
Nitrous oxide, often used recreationally, can have serious consequences when used repeatedly.
The National Institute of Health has warned that frequent use can inactivate vitamin B12, leading to deficiencies that could cause numbness, peripheral neuropathy, and even megaloblastic anemia.
Fans have taken to social media, urging Uzi to be careful and expressing hope that this behavior won’t become a regular thing.
