Lil Uzi Vert has seemingly come out as non-binary. The rapper changed their Instagram bio this weekend to feature they/them pronouns. Though the artist has not released a statement about the social media change, eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice the update.
The timing of Lil Uzi Vert's social media change is also significant, International Non-Binary People's Day was this week, on July 14.
This week, the Philidelphia-native rapper announced a forthcoming EP titled "Red & White." On Sunday they surprised fans with a new track uploaded to SoundCloud called “Space Cadet.” Lil Uzi wrote, "I am a Space cadet the geek that real."

The rapper joins a growing list of celebrities who identify as non-binary including Demi Lovato, Sam Smith, Elliot Paige, G-Flip, Rose McGowan and more.
In 2019, Lil Uzi made headlines announcing he was quitting music. "I wanna take the time out to say I thank each and every one of my supports but I'm done with music," he wrote at the time. "I deleted everything. I wanna be normal ... I wanna wake up in 2013." However, he returned with new music later that year.
