New York City was buzzing with alarm on April 21, 2025, when chart-topper rapper Symere Bysil Woods, aka Lil Uzi Vert, was rushed to a hospital after falling sick at a Lower Manhattan hotel. The 30-year-old star, known for his edgy style and catchy songs, raised alarm among fans when paramedics were summoned to answer a 911 call of an “ill person.”
At about 2:30 PM, hotel patrons glimpsed Uzi wheeled through the lobby on a gurney, conscious but reportedly in agony. His girlfriend, City Girls alumna JT, accompanied him as security agents used umbrellas to block him from onlookers before he was wheeled into an ambulance.
Uzi was admitted in the emergency room overnight under medical care. Up to April 22, he was still hospitalized, without any statement from his team on why he experienced this health scare or how he is doing. The silence has kept fans on edge, hoping for news about their beloved artist.
Lil Uzi Vert has been a hip-hop force since he arrived on the scene in 2010. Hits such as “Money Longer” and “XO Tour Llif3” catapulted him to stardom, but his album Eternal Atake solidified him as an innovator. Outside of music, Uzi’s over-the-top personality—think bright fashion, intricate face tattoos, and statement piercings—has turned him into a cultural phenomenon.
His success is evident in his lavish lifestyle. Uzi calls a $4.4 million mansion in Los Angeles’ Bell Canyon home and cruises around in a jaw-dropping car collection, including a Lamborghini Urus, Bugatti Veyron, and Bentley Continental GT, among others. But life hasn’t always been smooth for the rapper. He’s been candid about battling substance use and mental health struggles, even referencing nitrous oxide in his 2024 track “We Good.” The loss of close friends to drug overdoses and violence in the rap world also pushed him to pursue sobriety, a journey he’s shared publicly.
This hospital dash is the first major health scare reported for Uzi, with no known chronic conditions tied to him. His past legal issues, like assault charges, don’t seem connected to this incident. Right now, the focus is squarely on his recovery, though the lack of updates has fans on edge, flooding social media with well-wishes.
