Big Time Rush's Carlos PenaVega Declined Featuring on Lil Uzi Vert's “The Rush” Due to His ‘Values’

Big Time Rush's Carlos PenaVega was the only member of the group who didn't appear on Lil Uzi Vert's Eternal Atake 2 album, and fans have just found out why.

On Friday, PenaVega's wife, Alexa, hopped on X to answer all the critics who were wondering why Carlos was absent from the song "The Rush" on Uzi's recently released album. According to Alex, the song didn't align with Carlos' values, so he decided to sit out on the track. She also revealed Big Time Rush was wrongly credited on the track when it should've listed the names of the members instead of the whole group.

"Hey friends. Wanted to hop on here to address something. We work super hard to protect our values and the things we believe in especially when it comes to creating content that is mostly family friendly or what one would consider 'safe'," Alexa tweeted. "Today a song was released that featured the BTR boys minus Carlos because it did not align with his values. While thankful for the opportunity Carlos kindly passed. Unfortunately it was not credited properly and is currently being represented as a BTR feature. Not a Kendall, Logan and James feature."

She continued, "As a wife who has watched Carlos navigate his values alone in an industry not set up for 'family' I have been at times both incredibly proud and totally heartbroken for him. This is not putting anyone down. We just respectfully would like to make the people who follow us aware of the mishap and address that this was something he was not a part of. God Bless."

In response, Carlos wrote, "Love u my angel. "Thank you for always having my back."

Carlos joined Alexa's with Kendall Schmidt, Logan Henderson and James Maslow to form the group in 2009 for the Nickelodeon TV show of the same name. They disbanded in 2013 but reunited in 2020 for a series of sold-out global tours.
