In the past, however, the rapper has been vocal about his health struggles. During a 2021 interview with Men's Health, he reflected on the correlation between physical and mental health:

“Working out definitely helps me with my performance and I think that people that’s probably, you know, stressed a lot and going through stuff, they should work out,” the rap star said. “I’m one of those people that be in my head, and it makes me go crazy … See how heavy I’m breathing, I’m getting all of my anxiety out and stuff.”

Lil Uzi Vert has also been vocal about his struggles with sobriety, such as when in March 2023, he told TMZ:

“It was challenging at first. But then, after probably a month, I got used to it.” He also added, “I thought that my creative process wasn’t going to be the same because I wasn’t on drugs no more.”
