Using the most common formula from that link: "To first approximation,
gravitational redshift is proportional to the difference in

 From whence did you get the idiotic idea that the mass
of UY Scuti was 5 billion solar masses? :-D

Which is less than the red shift from the Sun.

The biggest star in the universe (that we know of), UY Scuti is a
variable hypergiant with a radius around 1,700 times larger than the
radius of the sun.
To put that in perspective, the volume of almost 5 billion suns could
fit inside a sphere the size of UY Scuti.
The star lies near the center of the Milky Way, roughly 9,500
light-years away from Earth. Located within the constellation Scutum, UY
Scuti is a hypergiant star. Hypergiants — larger than supergiants and
giants — are rare stars that shine very brightly. They lose much of
their mass through fast-moving stellar winds.

You didn't even try to read the OP, from where I extracted the data,
idiot.
This is another link:
Star UY Scuti is so big, you could fit 5 billion Suns inside it

Here it's claimed that they don't have a clue about its mass:

So, rela-astrophysicists come out with any shit, as they are not
accountable for what they publish.
