Lil Uzi Vert hangs out with his "twin," Woo Wop."

Lil Uzi Vert’s made a new friend in the hilarious viral sensation Woo Wop. The Philadelphia rapper, who undoubtedly has love for the kids, hit his Instagram page this morning where he shared a selfie with DDG’s nephew. “My twin,” he captioned the post as he grinned from ear to ear and WooWop cheesed for the camera. WooWop also shared the link up on his Instagram page. Wop shared the selfie, along with a video of the two together, writing, “I just wanna wop.” Clearly, the two have mutual respect for one another, especially since Woo Wop has taken the internet by storm through his viral antics that often land on DDG’s YouTube page. 

A video emerged shortly after of the “Just Wanna Rock” artist and the Internet personality shortly after. Uzi came across as starstruck as he told WooWop, “I can’t believe I met you, bruh.” While Woo Wop seemed equally excited to meet Uzi, the rapper explained that he’s “more lit than me.” Before Uzi left, he expressed his excitement once more and gave WooWop a hug. It’s an adorable interaction between the two. 

WooWop Has A Fan In Lil Uzi Vert

The 7-year-old star began to appear in DDG’s YouTube videos in recent years. While DDG’s rap career began to blow up, DDG continued to make his presence felt through family Vlogs shared to his father’s Instagram page. However, he really began to take off with the release of “Kill My Grandma” which quickly began a hit record on TikTok, despite its bleak subject matter. Since then, he’s delivered several other singles that have yet to reach similar viral success.

In addition to the release of “Kill My Grandma,” Woo Wop also paid homage to Lil Uzi Vert in the past with the release of “Just Wannna Wop.” The play on “Just Wanna Rock” wasn’t necessarily a direct remix but Wop evidently took a few notes from Uzi’s original. Perhaps, we’ll see a collaboration between the two in the near future, especially with Uzi expressing his appreciation for Woo Wop’s content.
