Lil Uzi Vert has not retaliated much during his beef with Rich The Kid but that's not stopping Rich from taking shots every chance he has. Last week, RTK started a "Fuck Lil Uzi" chant at his concert and now, he's taking things to the next level. As if things weren't heated enough in the clear Uzi diss track "Dead Friends," the song's music video is set to escalate things between the two. Sharing a short teaser on Instagram, the rapper previewed the video for "Dead Friends" with some transparent shots being thrown at Uzi.

Their beef stems from Uzi refusing to sign with Rich Forever and the "New Freezer" artist has gone back and forth with Uzi Vert for months. The next step in their ongoing feud is in the inclusion of a Lil Uzi Vert lookalike sitting shotgun in the music video while Rich drives the car. While the man is not exactly a spitting image of Uzi, the face tattoos and piercings give away the imposter's would-be identity. Referencing the Philly rapper's most popular song "XO Tour Llif3," the upcoming video for "Dead Friends" looks to be shot mostly in a cemetery, commemorating the past relationship that Uzi and RTK once shared.

There is no expected release date for the video at this point but, with a teaser being shown on RTK's Instagram page, signs are pointing at an imminent drop. Check out the video snippet below.
