Fans are in a tizzy when Lil Uzi Vert changed their pronouns on Instagram to They/Them. Fans believe that the rapper came out as non-binary despite the rapper having yet to clarify what the rapper’s bio would indicate.
Instagram introduced a new tool over a year ago that enables users to add their preferred pronouns to their bio.
Fans are left to question if Lil Uzi is now identifying as non-binary because the rapper’s revelation was made just a few days after the International Non-Binary People’s Day on July 14.
Lil Uzi Vert changes pronouns as They/Them
The main way we distinguish ourselves from our names is through pronouns. Nonbinary is a term used to describe those who “do not describe themselves or their genders as falling into the categories of man or woman,” according to NPR.
Without sharing anything further, Lil Uzi altered their pronouns on Instagram over the weekend to they/them.
The rest of the biography mentions their upcoming EP, “Red & White = P!NK.”
Along with behind-the-scenes pictures from their shows, Li Uzi also uploaded a video with clips of the rapper having ink on their tongue.
It coincided with the release of the rapper’s most recent song, Space Cadet, which can be heard on SoundCloud.
Fans consider the rapper to be Non-Binary
Fans believe Lil Uzi just came out as non-binary based on the rapper’s revised Instagram bio.
One user posted, “little uzi vert is non-binary now omg I love and support him.”
“Lil Uzi Vert coming out as non-binary isn’t exactly something I anticipated to see today,” said one commenter.
