"Dead Friends" is a diss track in which Rich the Kid fires shots at Lil Uzi Vert. The pair fell out in January 2018, after Uzi told the Atlanta rapper he wouldn't sign to his label, Rich Forever Music, as he was only offering him $20,000. Rich addresses Vert's rejection on the second verse when he boasts about his $2,5 million deal with Interscope. Yeah, yeah, quarter mil on my car, yeah Drippin' in Chanel, that's a bar, yeah Come to Rich Forever, be a star, yeah
The song title is a reference to the chorus from Lil Uzi Vert's hit "XO Tour Llif3": She said, "Baby, I am not afraid to die." Push me to the edge All my friends are dead
Rich The Kid discussed the recording of the song with Beats 1's Zane Lowe. When Uzi's name was brought up, he responded: "It's funny because I made this record months before all that, and so whatever darkness comes to light. So listen to the song, you know what's going on. I'm just waiting to see if [Uzi's] going to reply back. You know [Uzi] can't write better than me though."
