Fashion magazine 032c debuted its latest summer issue with a cover story interview featuring Lil Uzi Vert . Published on Tuesday, the Philadelphia rapper opened up for the first time about a personal aspect of their identity: how they came to embrace their gender nonconformity and the adoption of “they/them” pronouns. The subtle change was first noted in July 2022 when Lil Uzi Vert, whose real name is Symere Bysil Woods, updated their pronouns on their Instagram bio. This move was quietly confirmed to Pitchfork via their spokesperson. Done so without explanation or formal announcement, the change left many fans wondering about its motive. Well, we finally have our answer.
