Lil Uzi Vert sends Christmas gifts to fans who wrote to them

Lil Uzi Vert has once again shown that they truly are for the people. Much like Santa Claus, the Philadelphia artist proved that spirit by replying to fan letters and surprising supporters with gifts they asked for this Christmas. As spotted by Complex, Uzi shared several heartfelt messages on social media from fans who opened up about how much the music has meant to them.

One young fan named Jackson asked for a signed skateboard, and Uzi made sure it happened while also letting him know how meaningful his letter was. “Thank you so much for taking the time out of your beautiful life to check up on me and tell me how much I mean to you.”

The hitmaker added, “Here is my skateboard. Learn some tricks and send videos. Remember you’re younger than me so you have time to be better than me...” before joking a bit more. “Oh, yea, our handwriting looks similar... you should work on that LOVE YOU [red heart emoji fire emoji] COR(E).”

Another supporter named Drake happened to be working on a school assignment that required him to write an “outrageous” letter and ask for any gift he wanted. He requested either two tickets to a future show or a silver diamond chain.

While Uzi did not go through with those specific requests, they still came through with a thoughtful surprise by buying him a pair of Balenciaga glasses.

Vert also included a personal note in response, writing, “Wassup twin, so listen I really appreciate you hittin me up... especially around the holidays... that’s so real.” They continued, “You told me you wanted a chain with diamonds. I really thought hard about it. I went to the jewelry store and looked at some stuff and was like ‘nahhhhhhhh, hold on, twin don’t even have balenciaga glasses yet.’ So we gonna start here. Love you bro [glasses emoji red heart emoji] COR(E).”

It is easy to imagine how moments like this made Christmas even more memorable for those fans, which makes the gesture all the more special.

Lil Uzi has also been showing generosity on the music front lately. If you have not been keeping up, they are essentially operating as an independent artist now, while still holding a distribution deal with Roc Nation.

That shift has allowed the “Money Mitch” songwriter to release music at a rapid pace over the past month. Their most recent drop was the Jersey club inspired “What You Saying,” which arrived alongside a music video featuring fashion icons such as Marc Jacobs.

And the run may not be slowing down anytime soon. Uzi hinted at more to come in an Instagram Story on Wednesday, writing, “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).”

Could this be a sign that an album is on the way?

Guns N’ Roses have officially begun their 2026 tour and treated fans to the first ever live performances of Nothin’ and Atlas. You can find videos and the full setlist from the night below.

The concert took place at Parque Fundidora in Monterrey, Mexico on Saturday March 28 and marked the opening night of the band’s 2026 tour schedule. It follows a busy stretch of concerts last year, which concluded in October.

This tour also marks their first since drummer Frank Ferrer exited the group in 2025 after close to two decades. Just a day before the show, keyboard player Melissa Reese also shared that she would not be joining the upcoming dates due to personal matters.

Like many of their concerts, the band began the night with major fan favourites including Welcome To The Jungle and Mr Brownstone, later adding classics such as Paradise City, Don’t Cry, Civil War, November Rain, and their take on Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door as the show continued.

Along with their well known version of the Bob Dylan song, Axl Rose and the rest of the band also performed several other covers during the night. These included Black Sabbath’s Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Wings’ Live And Let Die, Velvet Revolver’s Slither, The Damned’s New Rose, and UK Subs’ Down On The Farm.

The Monterrey performance also included the first live performances of their newer songs Nothin’ and Atlas, which were originally released in December. See the full setlist and clips from the show below.

After the Mexico show, Slash and the rest of the band will continue the tour in April with nine major concerts scheduled across Brazil. In May, they will head to Florida for two performances before moving on to a European run across June and July. That leg begins with two dates in Poland, followed by a performance in Dublin and an already confirmed appearance at the UK’s Download Festival.

Additional stops include concerts in the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Belgium, before they return to North America for another round of shows. Those dates begin in North Carolina on July 23 and conclude in Georgia on September 19. Buy US tickets here, European tickets here, and see the full list of dates below.

In other news, guitarist Slash recently suggested that the band may not perform at the Las Vegas Sphere and also hinted that new Guns N’ Roses material could be on the way, saying that “everybody [in the band] is thinking about it”.
