Rich The Kid and Lil Uzi Vert's beef has gotten a bit more interesting.

Rich The Kid and Lil Uzi Vert have been embroiled in a feud for the past several weeks. It died down but things picked back up yesterday after the two artists had a little back and forth on Instagram. Lil Uzi Vert tagged Rich The Kid's Instagram handle on a picture of a crab and RTK struck back by saying Uzi's his "son" and is trying to be just like him because of his newly dyed green hair. Now, it looks like Rich The Kid is ready to settle the beef in the booth.

Like most rappers do, Rich The Kid hit his Instagram Live to preview some new music to his fans. In the brief snippet he shared, he took some shots at Lil Uzi Vert. RTK didn't mention any names but there are some references that make it clear that he's talking about the Philly spitter. He raps, "your money gettin' shorter," which is a reference at Uzi's massive song "Money Longer."

RTK also references "XO Tour Llif3" on the track. "All them dead friends/ You a little middle man/ You a little man," he says. The line seems to also be a dig at Uzi's label situation which relates to how their beef stemmed. Uzi warned fans not to sign to another artist or DJ a few weeks back. RTK reached out and said he should've signed to his label, Rich Forever Music. Uzi then replied, "Boy I’m not signing for 20racks."
