Lil Uzi debuted the new personality in Thailand.

Lil Uzi Vert has been going through some pretty big changes recently. Last year, the rapper announced that they had adopted they/them pronouns. Soon after, Uzi dropped their EP, Red+White. The EP features a song called "Glock In My Purse," further hinting at the new non-binary route the rapper had taken. Uzi also announced that they are a "sober man." The rapper took to their social media to let people know about the new development. "Kids, it’s real good to be sober," they said.

Lil Uzi Vert may be celebrating their sobriety, but that doesn't mean they've stopped their odd antics. The rapper has also made quite a few physical changes. Most notably, they got six new facial piercings recently. They also debuted a new hairstyle, which was reminiscent of many punk looks of years gone by. The rapper had also initially showed off a diamond implant that they had gotten in their forehead. It has since been removed. In a new permanent addition, however, Uzi has gotten a tongue tattoo. Shortly after, the rapper also debuted a forehead tattoo. That's not all. Lil Uzi has also showed off a new alter-ego.

Not Everyone Is Feeling The New Uzi

While in Thailand, Uzi has kept very busy. From performing to posting videos of eating cockroaches, you can always expect the unexpected when it comes to Uzi. That includes the introduction of a new alter-ego that the rapper has dubbed "Leslie." In a post about their Thailand trip, Uzi included a picture with a new hairstyle and the caption "Leslie was in Thailand." The hair looks like a myspace scene kid from 2007. The rapper looks extremely happy in the post, but their new looks and alter-ego aren't really sitting right with everyone.

Both Nicki Minaj and Karlae have taken to Instagram to poke fun at Uzi for their new alter-ego's look. Nicki's joke was fairly harmless, simply pointing out how much the hairstyle looked like a version of hers from the "Bedrock" video. "She said I can make your bed rock," Nicki posted on her story along with a side by side of her hair in the video and Uzi's new look. Karlae simply commented on a post about the new alter-ego with a bunch of laughing emojis. Neither case seems to be malicious, but some people felt the need to clap back, particularly at Karlae. What do you think of Leslie? Let us know in the comments!
