Whether or not you’re a fan of Lil Uzi Vert‘s music, one simply can’t deny his popularity on the Internet. Now, the Philadelphia artist receives a SoundCloud award for most account follows in 2016.
The award is no small feat, as SoundCloud is one of the biggest streaming platforms that exists. Lil Uzi Vert beat out every artist of any genre for most follows in 2016, and as such, the accomplishment should not go unnoticed.
