Lil Uzi Vert’s Highly-Anticipated Album ‘Pink Tape’ Is Out Sans Playboi Carti

Lil Uzi Vert’s highly-anticipated album “Pink Tape” is finally out. While it is such great news for fans, some of them questioned why PlayboiCarti was left off the record.

The project hit streaming services on Friday, June 30, but the tracklist was unveiled one day prior. The likes of Travis Scott (II), Nicki Minaj,Don Toliver and other artists appear on the album, but Carti’s name was nowhere to be seen.

It came as a surprise considering that Uzi had teased a Carti feature since earlier this year. When performing at Rolling Loud California in March, the non-binary emcee previewed an unreleased track where they highlighted the tensions in their long-standing friendship but said they cherish the latter. “Shout out to Carti, we don’t talk hardly, but that’s where my heart be,” Uzi spits on the tune.

A few weeks later, the “Just Wanna Rock” rhymer again hinted at a collaboration with Carti and promised the duo would dominate with their upcoming music. “Me and my luv about 2 take over the world,” JT’s longtime partner declared on their Instagram Story.
