Lil Uzi Vert got a huge dose of green slime all over him on Saturday (March 4) during the 2023 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards in Los Angeles, California.
During a segment of the show, hosts Nate Burleson and Chari D’Amelio asked the audience who could get the crowd “super loud.” Uzi then emerged from the crowd, wearing a red jersey and approached a drum set to test his skills. While he was drumming, slime shot out of the floor onto people in the crowd.
After Uzi was finished, drummer prodigy Justin Wilson II approached the drum set and played a version of Uzi’s hit single “Just Wanna Rock.” As Justin was playing, Uzi stood in the middle of the stage while slime fell from a spaceship-like prop which was attached to the ceiling.
Uzi briefly performed the single later in the show as well.

Uzi will be joining a star-studded line up to perform at the 2023 Broccoli City Festival in Washington D.C. from July 15-16. Other performers include Kodak Black, Glorilla, City Girls, Ice Spice, and many more.
“This year’s lineup continues our tradition of celebrating culture in the DMV, both nationally and locally. We want to continue highlighting those who continue to play a role in driving progress in Black communities,” Brandon McEachern, co-founder of Broccoli City Festival, said in a statement.
He added: “Our goal is to always create a dope cultural experience and highlight a diverse group of artists who are taking Black music to new heights, and I’m proud of how it’s come together.”
Recently, DJ Jazzy Jeff talked to HipHopDX about who has the best song in Philadelphia between Uzi’s aforementioned single and Meek Mill’s “Dreams and Nightmares.”
“I don’t think you could ever go against Meek Mill’s ‘Dreams and Nightmares,’” he said. “Lil Uzi’s ‘Just Wanna Rock’ is a dope song. Everybody loves it, but ‘Dreams and Nightmares’ took the city by storm. It took every sports team by storm, so it’s going to be ‘Dreams and Nightmares’ for me.”
