Lil Uzi Vert Hits 1 Million Views on “Chanel Boy,” Teases More Music
Lil Uzi Vert celebrated a major milestone for their new single, “Chanel Boy,” after it reached one million views on YouTube. Sharing a screenshot on Instagram Story Wednesday, Uzi wrote: “Might as well keep going. I feel really good but I luv y’all. I’m so happy 1M thank y’all so much. Gotta give thanks 2 the cor(e).”
Fans quickly responded online, showing excitement for Uzi’s achievement. On X (formerly Twitter), one fan wrote: “This the Uzi era by default, no ASAP dropping, no Frank, no Kanye he taking this opportunity.” Some reactions were less enthusiastic, with one user commenting: “Bro getting happy about 1 million views when he used to get 10 million he knows he’s washed.”
The milestone follows Uzi’s recent releases under their new ROC Nation Distribution deal. Alongside “Chanel Boy,” Uzi dropped the single “Relevant.” ROC Nation Distribution President Krystian Santini said: “UZI is a global icon and a dynamic force in the music industry, so we’re thrilled to work together with them in this new capacity. Our partnership is centered around empowering UZI to continue building their legacy, with full creative control and the resources to take their artistry to new heights.” The deal allows Uzi to maintain independence while retaining ownership of their masters.
“Relevant” addresses criticism from rapper Nine Vicious, who claimed Uzi had “fell off.” In the song, Uzi raps: “I know when it’s hate, I’m one with the Earth, I know all the elements / He thought he ate, my gun not a 9, it’s not not a lil’ elephant / I took off the hood just so it could breathe, my car is a hellaphant / How you say I’m irrelevant when I’m the reason these n****s is relevant?”
While Uzi has not shared details on future releases, the success of “Chanel Boy” and “Relevant” signals an active period in their career. Fans can expect more music as Uzi continues to build momentum under ROC Nation Distribution.
