“DON’T DO WHIPPETS!” – Lil Uzi Vert
Lil Uzi Vert has made it clear where they stand on nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as “whippets,” and it’s not exactly an endorsement. In an interview that showcased their raw, unfiltered perspective, Uzi minced no words about the dangers of the substance.
“Don’t do whippets! Them jawns will — they is bad! Yo, don’t do them. They is bad,” Uzi warned. “They’ll have you eating foods you never ate, they’ll have you hanging with people you never hung with. That’s just what I heard.”
For an artist often celebrated for their boundary-pushing creativity and open-mindedness, this stance carries weight. Uzi elaborated further, “Honestly, with no money and no narrative, whippets is really bad. I’m really saying that. I don’t saying nothing is bad; I’m the guy that loves everything. Whippets are fucking bad, bro.”
For context, “whippets” are small metal canisters of nitrous oxide, often abused recreationally for their short-lived euphoric effects. However, the prolonged use of nitrous oxide can lead to severe health risks, including brain damage, organ issues, and vitamin B12 deficiency. It’s not the harmless party trick some perceive it to be.
Interestingly, Uzi also addressed the swirling rumors about their own alleged use of nitrous oxide on their latest album, Eternal Atake 2. On the opening track “We Good,” the Philadelphia rapper confronted the speculation directly: “They said I was lost, they thought I was a dead guy, I was on that NOS.”
Uzi’s candidness here reflects a layered complexity. As a public figure with immense cultural influence, they’re navigating the space between their art, their public persona, and the responsibility that comes with being a voice for millions. Whether you’re a fan of their music, their message, or just intrigued by their mystique, one thing’s clear: Uzi isn’t afraid to address the tough conversations—even if they do it in their own uniquely Uzi way.

2025 New Year, Same Violence: Is There Any Way Out?
The new year began with a tragic act of violence in Queens, New York, where ten people were injured in a mass shooting outside a nightclub. It is a heartbreaking reminder of the escalating safety concerns that we, as a community, cannot continue to ignore. The shooting, which took place outside Amazura, a popular venue in Queens, involved gunfire that erupted unexpectedly, leaving several young individuals—ages 16 to 20—wounded and traumatized. Though none of the injuries were life-threatening, the fear and pain caused by this violence will resonate with the victims and their families for years to come. The troubling part is not just the attack itself, but the context in which it occurred. The victims were simply waiting to enter a private event—a birthday memorial—when the violence erupted. Investigators have suggested that gang activity may have been involved, yet […]
