"I wanna be normal," he continued. "I wanna wake up in 2013. You are free."
TooFab has reached out to Atlantic Records and Uzi's representatives for comment, but has yet to hear back.

Uzi, whose real name is Symere Woods, has been with Atlantic since 2014. The Philadelphia rapper broke out into the music scene with his "Luv is Rage" mixtape, which included his chart-topping hit "XO Tour Llif3."
Uzi, 24, had been teasing his highly-anticipated sophomore album throughout the last year, so his retirement announcement came as even more of a surprise. As pointed out by Billboard, the MTV Video Music Award winner has deleted all music-related content from his Instagram account.
Dedicated fans of the the hip-hop star were so shaken over the shocking news, the topic was trending on Twitter Saturday morning. Some people wrote that they didn't believe Uzi's words and that this is all a publicity stunt, while others expressed that they were upset and heartbroken over the possibility of no more music.
