Lil Uzi Vert has changed their pronouns on social media to the gender-neutral set they/them/theirs.
The 26-year-old rapper took to Instagram to reflect the pronoun change, which now indicates that the musician uses they/them pronouns.
They/them are gender-neutral pronouns and are often used by non-binary, genderfluid, and genderqueer people who want their pronouns to embody the fact that they do not identify as a man or a woman.
Uzi, whose real name is Symere Bysil Woods, did not comment on the pronoun change and did not share any additional information after fans posted about the news.
Also, a representative for Uzi said "no confirmation or comment on this" when reached by The Los Angeles Times about their subtle announcement.
While the star is being cryptic about the change, they seemingly responded to a tweet directed at them that read, "Yo they," writing, "Yo yeat".
The 'XO Tour Llif3' rapper has long been recognized for their nonconformist sense of fashion and has also voiced support for the LGBTQ+ community in the past, from sporting rainbow outfits during Pride month to wearing gender-fluid clothing.
According to Blavity, back in 2018, the '20 Min' rapper was asked why they sometimes wore dresses, and their response was "I bought everything in the men's section. There's nothing else to buy, I bought everything, literally."
This news comes after the rapper shared a new song titled 'Space Cadet' on their SoundCloud over the weekend. The rapper also announced this month that their next EP, titled Red & White, will be released soon.
Uzi now joins the list of artists who publicly changed their pronouns to They/Them. In 2019, Sam Smith publicly came out as non-binary on social media, saying at the time "I’ve decided to embrace myself for who I am, inside and out".
Demi Lovato also publicly changed their pronouns in May 2021, explaining that being non-binary "best represents the fluidity I feel in my gender expression". Lovato would go on to quietly update her pronouns on Instagram to "they/them/she/her" in April 2022.
Per Reuters, Lovato also spoke about their change, saying: "In 2018 when I overdosed, I feel like the reason why that happened was because I was ignoring my truth, and I was suppressing who I really am in order to please stylists or team members ... or even fans that wanted me to be the sexy, feminine pop star in the leotard."
"I thought that was what I was supposed to be, and now I just realize that it’s so much more important to live your truth than to ever suppress yourself because that’s the type of stuff that happens when you do," they added.
