Playboi Carti Honors Lil Uzi Vert On Tour

The “Antagonist” tour is currently underway, and Playboi Carti is making sure to connect with his fans across the country. During a recent stop in Philadelphia, Carti took a moment to share some love for a frequent collaborator and friend, Lil Uzi Vert, sparking excitement and nostalgia among fans.

A Philadelphia Shoutout and “16*29” Hopes

While performing at the Xfinity Mobile Arena, Carti expressed his well wishes for Uzi, stating, “I wish my brother Uzi was here.” He went on to reaffirm their bond and the legendary status of their unreleased collaborative mixtape, “16*29,” declaring, “Whatever I can do, I’ll do it… 16*29 forever.”

These heartfelt words quickly resonated with fans online. Social media buzzed with reactions, with many users reminiscing about the potential of the “16*29” project. Comments like “Album woulda broke the internet 💔” and “16*29 in 2026 would save Uzi’s career” flooded the platforms, showing the immense anticipation for new music from the duo.

A Complicated but Enduring Friendship

Playboi Carti and Lil Uzi Vert share a complex history, but their mutual respect has often shone through. They publicly put any differences aside in 2021 by joining forces onstage at Rolling Loud New York. More recently, in 2023, Uzi complimented Carti’s new music in a TMZ interview, expressing enthusiasm for their extensive unreleased catalog.

When asked about whether new songs would appear on their joint album, Uzi admitted uncertainty due to the sheer volume of music they have created together, saying, “We got so much music. We got a million songs. I’d love to be on there though.”

Shoutouts Beyond Uzi

Carti’s “Antagonist” tour has also seen him show love to other artists. In Chicago, he gave a simple but powerful shoutout to Kanye West, saying, “Yo Kanye, I love you.” This comes after a period of public tension between the two artists, adding another layer to Carti’s current tour narrative.
