Travis Scott and Lil Uzi Vert performed their new song, "Aye," together for the first time in Dublin, Ireland on Sunday. The two both took the stage at Longitude 2023. Uzi dropped the collaboration on their new album, Pink Tape, on Friday. Other performers throughout the weekend included Calvin Harris, Metro Boomin, Joey Bada$$, and more.
"Aye" is quickly becoming one of the early fan favorites from the Pink Tape. On the track, Uzi raps, “I put them diamonds my teeth (Aye) / Might put somе diamonds my nose (Aye) / Aye, I put them diamonds my teeth (Aye) / Might put some diamonds my nosе (Aye, huh?).”

Other collaborations featured on the Pink Tape include Nicki Minaj, Bring Me the Horizon, Don Toliver, and Babymetal. On the production side, Uzi worked with Don Cannon, BNYX, Ken Carson, Rick Rubin, Maaly Raw, Wheezy, and many more.
On the album, Uzi raps about their sexuality during the track “Flooded the Face," reaffirming to fans that they're straight. The lyrics come after Uzi previously changed their pronouns to they/them. Uzi discussed their gender identity ahead of the album during an interview with 032c magazine. “Taking the time to figure out who you are is a big part of what it means to be alive. Once you figure out whether you’re here with it, there with it, or both, you’re not alone anymore. This community offers access to a certain kind of support that you might not have had [previously during] your entire life because you weren’t raised that way. I come from a household where it’s not okay to be ‘non’ anything.”
