By now it’s readily apparent, Lil Uzi’s retirement threats have some weight behind them. The 24-year-old would eventually add context to those threats by citing his parent label Atlantic Records as the literal bane of his existence. You might recall him saying the following, during the course of an Instagram Live session.

 “I really just want [the label] to respect me,” he documented himself saying. “They just gotta respect me, ’cause I respect them. That’s the reason why I really went over there. Like normal shit. It’s just a different level in life. Everybody go through the same shit.”
