Lil Uzi Vert Reportedly Flashed A Gun In An Altercation With Saint Jhn In West Hollywood

Something went down in Hollywood today between Lil Uzi Vert and Saint Jhn.

According to a frequently updated report by TMZ, Saint Jhn and Lil Uzi Vert were involved in an altercation today at Dialog Cafe in West Hollywood. Uzi apparently came to the cafe because Saint Jhn was meeting with his ex-girlfriend Brittany Byrd. TMZ’s sources claim that Uzi and Jhn got into a physical altercation, and Uzi’s gun fell out onto the table when Uzi tried to land a punch and missed. Other reports claim that Uzi flashed the handle of his gun, causing everyone to flee the scene out of fear of a shooting.

According to Byrd, she was meeting with Jhn strictly for business purposes, but something about the two of them together set Uzi off. vByrd filed a police report later in the day at the West Hollywood Sheriff’s substation alleging that Uzi put a gun to her stomach and struck her during the altercation. Uzi and Saint Jhn have both yet to comment on the fight, though the artists never seemed to have beef before this and Uzi even featured on a song with Jhn, “High School Reunion, Prom” in 2020. You can hear that collab below.

Saint Jhn And SZA’s Blissful ‘Just For Me’ Is The Latest Effort From The ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’ Movie

The upcoming Space Jam: A New Legacy seems to be a place where unexpected musical collaborations are occurring. After the Lil Baby and Kirk Franklin were paired over a Just Blaze-produced beat for “We Win,” the first single from the movie’s soundtrack, the latest offering from the soundtrack comes as an effort with Saint Jhn and SZA. The duo joins forces for “Just For Me,” a blissful track that captures the acts in dreamy spirits on cloud nine as they profess their love for each other. The song arrives a little over a month before the movie’s July 16 premiere in theatre.

Both acts on Saint Jhn and SZA have been active in the music world in their own ways over the last few months. Saint Jhn’s 2021 has been quiet, but he concluded 2020 in a very active way thanks to multiple videos from his third album, While The World Was Burning, which he released in November with features from Kanye West, Future, Kehlani, 6lack, and more. As for SZA, she’s been working towards her currently untitled sophomore album that will hopefully arrive sooner than later. Until then, fans can enjoy her recent singles, “Good Days” and “Hit Different” with Ty Dolla Sign as well as her “Kiss Me More” collaboration with Doja Cat.
