Lil Uzi Vert delivered a heartfelt eulogy at artist Lotta Cash Desto's recent funeral.
Desto's funeral occurred on Oct. 8 in her hometown of Memphis. Lil Uzi Vert was on hand to show support and offered some kind words on the late artist.
“I ain’t even gon’ lie, but this don’t even feel real to me. I'm just gon' be real,” the Eternal Atake rapper said. “Destinee always was on my hip everywhere I go. When it was time for her to go home, I used to be like, 'Bro, when are you coming back?' She be like, 'Dang, bro, I ain't even leave yet.'”
He continued, "I honestly don't know how to feel. I got close with her over a short span of time. Just her loyalty. She showed me a different type of loyalty. She had real loyalty to me." Watch Lil Uzi Vert speaking at the funeral below.
