According to TMZ, first responders arrived at the scene following a 911 call reporting a "sick person," though the identity of the caller remains unknown.

As of Tuesday, Lil Uzi Vert, also known for his song "Way Life Goes," was still confined to the hospital. The cause of his illness and the specific symptoms he exhibited remain a mystery. Attempts by Page Six to reach out to his representatives were unsuccessful at the time of publication.

Prior to his hospitalization, Lil Uzi Vert's activities are uncertain, but a week earlier, he had posted an Instagram carousel showcasing him recording music in a studio.

Meanwhile, his girlfriend, Jatavia Shakara Johnson, offered a glimpse into their possible activities just hours before his medical emergency. Through her Instagram Story, she revealed that she was attending a party at The DL Rooftop Lounge, although it's unclear whether he accompanied her. She has yet to comment on his sudden health scare.
