Lil Uzi Vert sells Eminem-inspired merch at Coachella 2024

Lil Uzi Vert, who performed at Coachella 2024 on Friday night this week, sold merchandise at the mega festival, making a play on words of “their” pronouns as well as “Eminem.” The $40 black t-shirt features the phrase “THEMINEM” across the front. Uzi came out as using they/them pronouns back in summer 2022.

Speaking with 032c magazine, last year, Lil Uzi explained: “No, I never hesitated but I did take my time to learn as much as I could about this before I was able to proceed. Taking the time to figure out who you are is a big part of what it means to be alive. Once you figure out whether you’re here with it, there with it, or both, you’re not alone anymore. This community offers access to a certain kind of support that you might not have had [previously during] your entire life because you weren’t raised that way. I come from a household where it’s not okay to be ‘non’ anything.”

We are not sure why he went with the Eminem-inspired merch cause Lil Uzi seems not to be a fan of Slim Shady. Couple of years ago, during a livestream with Adin Ross, Uzi said: “Eminem is not in my top 5. Who give a f–k about his albums, he sounds like you’re just an eater. Give me Eminem’s best bar that’s not under 2003. You are probably listening to I’m Not Afraid.” Check the merch below:
