Uzi performed for the first weekend at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California.

The entertainer, who also goes by the moniker Leslie Chow, didn’t just do their signature “Just Wanna Rock” dance, they hit the audience with something new.

Adorning fire engine red hair and a white long-sleeved collar shirt, Uzi engaged in a full-out vogue session. They duck-walked across the stage to the crowd’s enjoyment. Additionally, they hit the death drop, igniting the audience even more.

Roomies React

Roommates shared their varied reactions under The Shade Room’s social media post.

“He look like the girl in high school who could fight and suck her thumb,” @polo_marc quipped.

Some commenters weren’t fond of Uzi’s dance moves. @rxch.d had a message for the haters.

“He got more money [than] eery N**** ! Under here saying something,” he wrote.

@youcan_this compared they to a legend, writing, “The prince of our generation.”

Some Roomies focused their attention on JT of the City Girls. Uzi’s on-again-off-again girlfriend.

@urmannequin said, “JT online arguing while he outside voguing.”

Roomie, @iamwhitneynicole added, “This is why JT be mad all the time….”

“JT looking at everybody side ways but her MAN,” @iampollybadass wrote. 

The City Girl praised Uzi’s performance writing, “UZI KILLED IT! BIG STARRRR!!!! CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT!!!!!!!!!”

 

The rapstress also clapped back at the haters.

An X, formerly known as Twitter, user asked her for answers to explain Uzi voguing. She responded, “You actually need edges. Y’all obsession with someone y’all don’t have to deal with is spooky asf! Why do you need answers skint head?”

Earlier JT tweeted that her body was aching from “running through Coachella” so she wouldn’t miss Uzi’s set.

One thing JT will do is spin ’bout Uzi.

A Little Vogue History

Voguing is a dance that imitates the poses hit by models in fashion magazines and on the runway. It was created by African-American and Latino members of the LGBTQ community that created an underground subculture. It’s a modern house dance that originated in the 80s. It stems from the Harlem ballroom scene in the 1960s. Moreover, it is linked to Willaim Dorsey Swann, an enslaved man who hosted 19th-century drag balls.
The legendary singer Madonna highlighted the dance and culture in her video for her 1990 hit song, ‘Vogue.’ The dance was also spotlighted in the documentary Paris is Burning the same year.
