Lil Uzi Vert Defends BBLs: "If Women Want To Look Better, I’m All For It"

Lil Uzi Vert has voiced strong support for Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs), standing up for the popular cosmetic surgery trend despite its polarizing reception. In a recent episode of Pitchfork’s Over/Under series, released on December 30, the Philadelphia-born rapper shared their thoughts on a range of topics, labeling BBLs as underrated.

BBLs Are Underrated,” Says Lil Uzi Vert

“BBLs are underrated, and the reason I say that is because they actually get a lot of hate,” Uzi explained. “The only people hating on BBLs—especially, I guess, from the guy community—are the ones who don’t have a girl with a BBL. So, BBLs are great. I mean, they’re awesome. If a woman wants to look better in her own eyes, then I’m all for it.”

This statement aligns with Uzi’s longstanding persona of embracing individuality and supporting self-expression, sparking conversations across social media about beauty standards and personal choice.

A Warning Against Whippets

On the flip side of the conversation, Lil Uzi Vert took a strong stance against whippets, a slang term for nitrous oxide, warning fans about the dangers associated with its misuse. When asked about their take on the recreational use of the substance, Uzi did not mince words:

“Overrated! Don’t do whippets! Those whippets are bad! They’ll make you eat things you never thought you’d eat and hang out with people you never thought you’d hang out with. That’s just what I heard,” Uzi joked, but their message was clear.

The rapper elaborated further, saying, “Honestly, without money and no storyline, whippets are really bad. I really mean that. I’m not saying everything is bad—I love everything—but whippets are terrible, man.”

Whippets, which often come in small metal canisters, can have severe long-term effects, including brain damage, organ issues, and vitamin B12 deficiencies. Uzi’s warning comes as many young fans experiment with the substance, often unaware of its harmful consequences.

“No More Bad Things”: A Turning Point

In recent months, Lil Uzi Vert has hinted at their own journey away from nitrous oxide use. Last month, Uzi shared an Instagram Story that featured a selfie captioned “No more bad things,” alongside emojis of a waving hand, a gust of wind, and a balloon—possibly signaling a clean break from past habits.

This shift also seemed to address lingering rumors surrounding their alleged use of nitrous oxide, which were touched upon in their latest album, Eternal Atake 2. On the opening track, “We Good,” Uzi directly tackled the rumors, rapping:
“They say I’m lost, they think I’m dead, I’ve been up on NOS.”

A Bold Voice in Pop Culture

Lil Uzi Vert continues to be a cultural lightning rod, blending candid revelations with bold, unapologetic statements. Their defense of BBLs underscores a progressive view of beauty and self-empowerment, while their outspoken stance against whippets serves as a cautionary tale for fans.

As always, Uzi’s words spark debate and shine a light on the complex intersections of fame, influence, and personal choices. Whether it’s a trending cosmetic procedure or the dangers of substance misuse, Lil Uzi Vert isn’t afraid to weigh in—and the world is paying attention.
