"I wanna wake up in 2013"

Via an Instagram story late on Friday night, rapper Lil Uzi Vert announced that he's quitting music. He's since deleted all musical related content on his Instragram, leaving behind just a handful of selfies. With his second studio release Eternal Atake still in the works, could this be a Kanye-style marketing stunt or has fame hit the 24-year old too hard?

 

The Philadelphia rapper first caught attention around 2013/14 with a series of Eps and mixtapes, catching a big break with his feature on Migos' 'Bad and Boujee'. His debut studio album, Luv Is Rage 2, went straight to #1 in the US.
