Fan Selling Playboi Carti’s Chewed Gum From Rolling Loud For $40K

by

Hopefully this is one of those April Fool’s pranks that the perpetrator deletes the very next day. A fan is selling chewed gum that allegedly belonged to Playboi Carti at Rolling Loud for $40,353.67, a hilariously specific amount for a hilariously unbelievable product. To be fair, Carti shows are typically as wild as they can get, and so the image of the Whole Lotta Red star spitting gum on a fan isn’t totally incredulous. Still, many took the opportunity to clown the hustler- and clown the rapper’s fanbase as a whole. What’s more is that people also blasted the $14 shipping cost, as if it makes a significant dent in a $40K investment.

Furthermore, Playboi Carti’s recent set at Rolling Loud Miami included teases of new music coming soon. Not only that, but Lil Uzi Vert also teased that they might drop something together soon, which got a lot of fans incredibly hopeful. After all, their frequent collaborations and teased joint album captured the minds of many, yet never came at the apex of its speculation. Since then, both went on to do great things in their respective careers, and after drifting apart, they seem to have reconnected.

Playboi Carti’s Alleged Chewed Gum Up For Sale

However, the “Stop Breathing” MC is also facing a significant public reckoning at the moment, despite his lack of social media presence. For example, the hip-hop world expressed shock and conflicted feelings upon the news of his December arrest for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend. After his ex Iggy Azalea further dug at his questionable behavior, fans were confused as to his future and what his side of the story is. Without a statement or acknowledgement (whose necessity is also debated), fans can only reckon with what police reports indicate and hold his music in that context.

Despite that controversy, hype and excitement for the next stage in Playboi Carti’s career is still strong. Moreover, he reportedly rented out all sessions in a Manhattan studio, which led fans to believe he’s fully in album mode. Given so many teases about it, only time will tell, but fans seem more ready than ever. If they weren’t, maybe that Rolling Loud attendee wouldn’t hold on to that old chewed piece of gum. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Playboi Carti.

It Looks Like Lil Uzi Vert And Playboi Carti Are Collaborating Again As They Plot A World Takeover

The two rappers are renowned for their collaborations but tracks featuring both Lil Uzi Vert and Playboi Carti are few and far between. Most of their official collaborations took place shortly after both began garnering attention in earnest in 2016, with tracks like “Lookin,” “Wokeuplikethis,” and “Shoota” showing off their rambunctious chemistry, and a string of leaks online fueling fans’ hunger for more.

But they haven’t released that much music together over the years, especially after seemingly falling out after they failed to drop their highly anticipated rumored joint mixtape 16*29 and canceled the adjoining tour. That might change in the near future, though, as Uzi appeared to tease a new collaboration between the two rappers on Instagram. Posting a grainy closeup of what looks like a Renaissance painting, he tagged Carti and wrote, “Me and my luv about 2 take over the world.” Complex got a screenshot:

Fans worried that the two rappers might have some sort of disagreement after they spent much of 2020 trolling each other over their respective projects. However, in 2021, Carti brought out Uzi during his set at Rolling Loud in New York, proving that all is well and their trolling was likely all in good fun. With this announcement, fans have reason to be excited — although they’ll probably be a bit more skeptical now too, considering how many times these two have teased new projects that never materialized.

Lil Uzi Vert is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Lil Uzi Seemingly Hints At Playboi Carti Collab: “About 2 Take Over The World”

by

Two of hip-hop’s most beloved figures (and duos) of the past few years might be making a comeback soon. Moreover, Lil Uzi Vert just posted an Instagram story suggesting that they and Playboi Carti will work together again soon. “Me and my luv about to take over the world,” they wrote on IG, tagging Carti in the post. Furthermore, they also tagged themselves, with each tag corresponding to one of two kids pictured in the post. Between them stands a tall figure with what looks like a goat head, and Uzi included an upside-down cross emoji. Even though they already pushed back against accusations of satanism, that certainly doesn’t make their case any easier to make.

Still, this got fans incredibly excited, especially after the “Just Wanna Rock” star had some loving words for their “Shoota” collaborator during their Rolling Loud L.A. set. Well, they weren’t words, but rather lyrics to an unreleased Uzi song, presumably from the upcoming Pink Tape. “Shout out to Carti,” they rap in the short but electrifying snippet, at least based off the crowd’s reaction. “We don’t talk hardly, but that’s where my heart be.”

Lil Uzi Vert Hints At Playboi Carti Collab On IG

In fact, Carti had a noteworthy Rolling Loud L.A. set of his own, during which he also teased unreleased music. Furthermore, his set began with a track (fans call it “Rockstar”) that could’ve fit snugly on Whole Lotta Red: aggressive, buzzy, and screamed like there’s no tomorrow. As one of the most noteworthy performers of the moment, it seems like every Carti show becomes most people’s highlight at a festival. However, public favor when it comes to Carti is skewed at the moment, given recent revelations concerning his alleged abuse of his girlfriend. As such, his legacy is now an even more complicated one, and his lack of social media presence makes it hard for fans to get assurance that he regrets, didn’t commit, or retroactively condemns his actions.

Meanwhile, Carti did speak on a potential Uzi collab in a XXL interview last year, and even used similar language to Uzi’s IG post. “Uzi is working on mad music right now,” the “Stop Breathing” rapper remarked. “I don’t know if [they’re] serious about a lot of things. But I hope one day we can change the world with that, for sure.” On the other hand, the Philly icon gave an update on The Pink Tape recently to TMZ, saying that sobriety helped them make about 700 songs for the project. With those promises in mind, time will tell if they manifest and if external issues impact their relationship. For when that day comes, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Lil Uzi Vert and Playboi Carti.

Playboi Carti Goes Platinum With “ILoveUIHateU”

by

Playboi Carti’s 2020 song “ILoveUIHateU” has gone platinum, with over 1 million plays. Big congratulations to him for a job well done. While this is not the first time that one of his songs has gone platinum, it is still a massive feat. In order for something of this magnitude, multiple things had to come together to make it happen. Because of the unfortunate timing of the song’s release, it had to be remembered by the time that Covid restrictions were lifted. In addition, it also had to be good enough that people would want to listen to it multiple times. Playboi Carti was able to do this by making it part of a theme that was relevant for the time, and by making a great song with multiple ways to interpret it.

“ILoveUIHateU” was released as a part of Playboi Carti’s second album, Whole Lotta Red. The album was released on December 25, 2020, to generally positive reviews. The album is currently gold, thanks to some of the great hits, such as “ILoveUIHateU” and “Vamp Anthem”. It also helped since it produced the sounds that his music will have going forward. Whole Lotta Red has a vampire theme going on in it. As such, all of the songs relate back to that in one way or another. “ILoveUIHateU” for example, was about a vampire feeding off of a woman until he killed her.

Playboi Carti Breaks New Ground

Part of the reason why this song became so popular is that it has a double entendre meaning behind it for Playboi Carti’s addiction to various drugs and how they are ruining his life, but he needs them in order to function. It doesn’t hurt that Pi’erre Bourne had created a great backing to the rap. While the song dealt with the dark subject matter, it pretended to be a normal party song, which allowed people to see it as the jam it is and to continue playing it at parties over the years. There is also some slight overlap with the goths that listened to the album because of vampires.

The RIAA had declared that “ILoveUIHateU” had sold over 1 million units. That is an impressive feat. The last time that he got anything platinum was in 2020, with his debut mixtape, Playboi Carti. Hopefully, more of his stuff will be able to turn platinum, such as the upcoming album, Music.
