Days before his SNL debut, Lil Uzi Vert performed in Kanye West’s favorite city. The two successful rappers have been good friends for a long time, although that could change after the former’s performance on SNL. While West has remained underground in recent times, Lil Uzi Vert has been actively performing around, and his latest location was Ye’s favorite place.

While the ‘Donda’ singer is patriotic, his love for this one country got him compared even to Van Gogh. Despite the generation difference, their common love for the culture of this specific country drew comparisons. While Ye has not visited his favorite place for a while, his buddy is trending on social media for his amazing performance.

Lil Uzi Vert moves the crowd with his performance

The singer had posted clips of him having a blast in Thailand. Now a video of him performing in Japan is trending on social media. It shows fans clicking away photos as he seems to be singing ‘XO Tour Llif3’. While Ye was not present in Japan at the time, he poured out his love for the country multiple times. The entertainer has visited the country both through his good and his bad times.

The ‘Donda’ singer exiled himself and went to Japan after facing harsh criticism over his VMA stint with Taylor Swift. Thereafter he visited the country with his former wife Kim Kardashian, and they posed with famous artist Takashi Murakami. He even decorated his Hidden Hills home by keeping the Japanese Wabi-sabi in mind. After his separation and during the pandemic, he went back into the country with his then-girlfriend Chaney Jones. The entertainer has also confessed his love of watching anime, which is one of the highlights of modern Japanese entertainment.

As for Lil Uzi Vert, he could face some heat from Ye after his trip, as he sets to appear on SNL

How the SNL appearance could affect Kanye West and Lil Uzi Vert’s friendship

Ye may be pleased to know about his friend performing in Japan, but his next performance may not be welcomed as warmly. After all, he will perform with Pete Davidson, who still shares a rivalry with the ‘Gold Digger’ singer. The comedian and the rapper’s love history with Kim Kardashian became the major point of their feud. So when Kid Cudi got cozy with Davidson, Ye was visibly upset with him. It will be seen if Lil Uzi Vert faces the same fate after his appearance on 6th May on SNL.
