Rich the Kid drops a violent visual for his song "Dead Friends." The track was released last month, and it is intended as a shade at Lil Uzi Vert.
The music video opens with the rapper driving a lavish car. A Lil Uzi Vert lookalike is seated in the passenger seat. The latter desperately pleads with Rich the Kid to help him propel his career.
In the next scene, Rich the Kid is playing with the fake Lil Uzi Vert. After getting into an argument with one member of the rapper's team, Lil Uzi Vert storms out of the room. Rich the Kid is then shown looking at himself in the mirror with blood in his hands.
An angry Rich the Kid orders to take a hit at Lil Uzi Vert, and his security guards kidnap the clone. The rapper takes Lil Uzi Vert to the cemetery and buries him there.
The almost five-minute music video, which was released on Monday, April 23, has already been viewed over 1 million times on YouTube.
Rich The Kid, Lil Uzi Vert Beef
Rich the Kid and Lil Uzi Vert have been feuding with each other since the beginning of the year. On Jan. 12, Lil Uzi Vert threw shade at DJ Drama and DJ Don Cannon's Generation Now imprint. The rapper signed with the label in 2015, but he said that he was unhappy with how things turned out to be.
A couple of hours after he posted his tweet, Rich the Kid replied and said that Lil Uzi Vert should have signed with Rich Forever Music instead. Unfortunately, his suggestion did not sit well with Lil Uzi Vert.
On his Instagram account, Rich the Kid once again encouraged Lil Uzi Vert to join Rich Forever Music, but the latter still refused.
A month later, Rich the Kid sat down for an interview with Power 106 in Los Angeles where he said that he would not consider signing the rapper.
"Not right now, maybe back then. Maybe I would sign him on my business, but for personal reasons, I wouldn't sign him," said Rich the Kid.
Weeks later, Lil Uzi Vert uploaded a photo of himself on Instagram. In the snap, the rapper is holding a huge crab. He tagged Rich the Kid on where the crab is in the picture.
Hours later, Rich the Kid claimed that Lil Uzi Vert was trying to be like him.
