Lil Durk Turns Down $200k Weed Brand Deal

May 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Durk allegedly turned down a $200,000 offer from a weed company. According to an Instagram story posted by the rapper, the company wanted him to make a post about them. “Turn $200k down for a weed post,” Durk said on his story. “I rather promote my brother weed first.” That amount of money is nothing to sneer at, so it’s surprising that the rapper would turn it down. However, it seems his loyalty to his friends takes precedence, which is admirable. Some in the comments, however, chastised him for the decision.

“Real homies would take that 200k and invest it in your Bro’s company,” one comment said of Lil Durk’s decision. It is worth noting that Lil Durk does frequently invest in his community. In fact, he recently donated $350,000 to Howard University in the form of scholarships and grants. Others that commented on the post, however, think he did it just for the bragging rights. “Ngas just be doing sh*t to say they did it,” the user said.

Is Lil Durk Being Blackballed?

Lil Durk is one of the most well-known rappers from Chicago. He has always been outspoken and unafraid to share his thoughts, regardless of the consequences. Despite having already been in the music industry for a decade, he only recently began receiving recognition as a superstar. Lil Durk fans know he has a diverse range of music, from love songs with Dej Loaf to summer anthems with Drake. He, along with many others, helped put the drill music scene on the map. However, it was difficult to see this in the beginning due to the rapid rise of Chief Keef. Since the 2010s, Lil Durk has been successful in the music industry. He has also become a leader in his community through his features, tours, and community service.

However, Lil Durk recently revealed on his Instagram story that his journey to success has been long and challenging due to additional obstacles. He stated that he has been “blackballed,” indicating that the industry is working against him. This is not uncommon in the music industry, and many artists believe that it has hindered their careers. The possibility of being blackballed has increased significantly in the age of “cancel culture,” seriously affecting artists like Kanye West and Tyler The Creator. What do you think about Lil Durk being blackballed? Do you think someone who is blackballed would be receiving $200k offers from weed companies? Let us know in the comments!
