RUMORS OF LIL UZI VERT'S DEATH WERE EXPLORED

The social internet has been inundated with videos claiming that the rapper would die at the age of 27. One of the reasons for this is that Vert made a remark in 2016 that convinced everyone that he would follow those who were members of the 27 Club.

Vert states in the video, "At the age of 27, I shall exit this earth."

This segment of his interview has since been utilized in a number of different productions. At the same time, when it was reported that the rapper received a diamond implant on his forehead while risking his life, fans were sure he was genuine.

With everything falling into place, supporters assumed Vert was serious during the interview.

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE 27 CLUB?

The 27 Club features a list of well-known artists who died at the age of 27. According to Rolling Stone, the word gained popularity following Kurt Cobain's death in 1994. Several admirers pointed out that prominent celebrities such as Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, and Brian Jones, among others, died at the age of 27.

This fad gained traction in 2011 after Amy Winehouse died at the same age. Because of his clip from the interview, Vert's name got brought into the dispute. His most recent remarks, however, disclaim any link to the 27 group.
