In the interview with Billboard, Lil Uzi Vert expressed appreciation for the influences that have shaped their artistry, including Mike Jones, Kendrick Lamar, and ASAP Rocky. They specifically mentioned ASAP Rocky as someone who had previously assisted them in the style department. Lil Uzi Vert went on to say that as a result of that assistance, they now consider themselves to be “flyer than ASAP Rocky.”
“ASAP Rocky helped me with my clothes,” Uzi said, as seen below. “But you know, I think I’m flyer than ASAP Rocky nowadays. … I think I’m flyer than him. I don’t think he could touch me nowadays.”
In response to what ASAP Rocky might think Uzi responded with “He can say whatever he wants… he know me. He know I got them pieces in the corner, you know. Shout-out to Flacko though.”
