Lil Uzi Vert learns he's younger than he thought after birth certificate discovery

Lil Uzi Vert learns he's younger than he thought after birth certificate discovery 

The North Philly native also got a new tattoo on his tongue and brought back his $24 million head piercing

Lil Uzi Vert is working on a new project dubbed "Forever Young," which will be one of the numerous follow-ups to the success of "Eternal Atake" and the "Pluto X Baby Pluto" mixtape with Future.

With that first title, the Philadelphia-born rapper may be onto something.

Lil Uzi Vert announced on Wednesday that his mother discovered his birth certificate, which shows he will be 26 on Saturday. The rapper mistook himself for a year older.

Wait wtf I’m turning 26??? My mom found my birth certificate ☹️😨

Lil Uzi Vert was born Symere Basil Woods in Philadelphia's Francisville neighbourhood, where he began rapping in high school with a group called Steaktown. He eventually dropped out of school and was evicted from his house, dedicating himself entirely to music with a particular combination of emo rap.

In a series of subsequent tweets, Uzi also disclosed that, despite driving his expensive automobiles, he does not have a driver's licence. That isn't ideal.

Yes WTFFF!!! 😣 https://t.co/iDL8REXkeA

It's mind-boggling to contemplate that important events in Uzi's life, such as turning 18 and 21, were reportedly wrong by a year.

The revelation is unusual coming from a successful artist who has vowed to quit at the height of his popularity in the past, only to return more prolific than before.

Meanwhile, Uzi has resumed wearing his $24 million diamond face piercing, which he had removed due to obvious bleeding difficulties, and has just gotten a tongue tattoo. 

Lil Uzi Vert put the diamond back in his forehead and got a new tattoo on his tongue‼️😳
