Lil Uzi Vert recently rapped about making a "City Girl believe in Satan" in an unreleased song he debuted at Rolling Loud.

Rolling Loud weekend spurred many demon-related conspiracy theories during performances from Lil Uzi Vert and Playboi Carti. On Friday night, one woman shared a video of herself leaving during Playboi Carti’s set as she felt that it was too demonic. An understandable take, given Carti’s fascination with the occult, the individual went viral as fans debated whether or not artists like Playboi Carti are pushing the Devil’s agenda. However, he certainly isn’t the only rapper who has embraced and explored this aspect.

Lil Uzi Vert has also expressed his adoration for the devil in the past in a few ways that are just as alarming. Some might argue that Uzi and Carti use this imagery for entertainment purposes. However, there are plenty of individuals who feel as though artists shouldn’t be playing with devil in the first place. During Uzi’s set at Rolling Loud, he debuted new music where he suggests that he converted JT of the City Girls to Satanism. “I make a City Girl believe in Satan,” he raps on the track. There's no word from Lil Uzi Vert or his camp when the record might come out, though it could land on Pink Tape.

Summer Walker: Has Lil Uzi Vert Ever Met A Demon?

Summer Walker, who collaborated with Uzi's girlfriend JT in the past, appears to be concerned with the influx of references to the devil in modern music. The Over It singer addressed Uzi’s comments online, though she wondered whether any of these artists who speak the devil’s name have ever encountered a demon in their lifetime. “I be genuinely curious have these people ever seen or heard a demon before…?” she asked.

Though we’ve undoubtedly seen a lot more gothic and darker imagery appear in hip-hop in recent years, Walker urged people to stop trying to play with evil spirits, even in jest. “I feel like if you have [encountered a demon] you’d stop playin’,” she continued. “Really nothing funny or cute about it. May God be with y’all.” So far, Lil Uzi Vert hasn’t chimed in but it seems incredibly unlikely that he will. Perhaps, her comments might make him reconsider releasing the single. Check out Summer Walker’s post above and sound off with your thoughts in the comment section below.
