Lil Durk is a busy man as of late. He announced earlier in May that his long-awaited follow-up to 7220 is on the way, generating plenty of excitement online for hip-hop heads. Apart from focusing on his music career, the Chicago native has also been pouring energy into his love life recently as he and India Royale continue to move closer to reconciliation. It remains unclear if the co-parents have put an official title on their bond since spending more time together again, but regardless, Durk certainly wants the world to know that the makeup mogul belongs to him.
This past weekend, a video of the “Laugh Now Cry Later” collaborator seemingly leaving a shopping mall with Royale surfaced online. While they don’t show any sort of PDA in the brief clip, Durk carries what appears to be several Chanel bags out of the building. While they were officially dating, the didn’t hesitate to regularly spoil his baby mama, ensuring their designer purchases were captured on camera to flex to followers and prove he doesn’t play about India.
On Friday (May 5), the 30-year-old sent out a subtweet about his rumoured lover, though this one was a plea for food rather than a diss – as we’ve been seeing from some couples on social media lately. “Go cook me some noodles India,” Durk wrote in the early hours of the morning. It remains unclear if the influencer followed through with her beau’s request, but the post made it abundantly clear which woman he’s claiming in the public eye, in case anyone had any doubts.
Over on his Instagram feed, the father of six showed his girl a more subtle form of love, including a mirror selfie she snapped (sans their faces) while straddling his laps in the same outfits they visited the mall in as shown in the video above. Do you think Lil Durk and India Royale will be back together for good? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
The status of India Royale and Lil Durk’s relationship has left fans confused for some time now. While the social media starlet has dropped several hints about enjoying her life as a single woman on social media, in a recent interview, the Chicago rapper insisted that he and his baby mama have a life-long bond between them. “She always gonna be my girl. We always gonna be together. That’s who I’m dying about right there,” he told XXL earlier this month.
In that same conversation, the “Laugh Now Cry Later” collaborator addressed speculation of him having a baby with another woman during his relationship with Royale. “If you go up there and say you didn’t, they still gonna say you did,” Durk explained of his decision not to address the drama. “As long as the house is the house, the internet can’t change the perspective of nothing. It’s the same with beefing, and that’s the same with trolling. If you respond, you respond,” he added. Since then, the 30-year-old has only doubled down on his claims about his baby mama, sharing a stunning photo of India on his Instagram page this past weekend.
“My heart [used] to be cold,” Durkio wrote in the caption. “[Until] she put a blanket over it . All mines.” In the accompanying image, his on-again-off-again partner prettily poses in an all-black outfit, which perfectly hugs her curvaceous hips. Royale completed her look with flirtatious heart-shaped sunglasses, as well as nipple pasties to match them. Her accessories were simple and silver, bringing an elevated air of luxury to her latest outfit of the day.
The same image landed on Royale’s feed on Sunday evening as well, along with a close-up view of her look. “Heart of Hearts ,” is the message she wrote to accompany it. In the comment section of her man’s heartfelt tribute, his baby mama also dropped by to show her gratitude with a row of black heart emojis. Whether she’s ready to confirm it to the public or not, India undeniably seems ready to die about him too.

Lil Durk recently donated $350,000 to Howard University in the form of scholarships and grants, and also participated in their 2023 Springfest to give fans and community members a great time. Not only did he directly give the institution $250,000 for grants funds, but he gave $50,000 each to two Chicago students to attend Howard on a scholarship. During his performance, he seemed to really engage the crowd with his energy, his slew of hit tracks, and the intimate setting. However, the Chicago MC also had to ask his crowd for relationship advice.
“If y’all want me to get back with India, say hell yeah!” he proclaimed, and the crowd screamed in turn. Moreover, Durk and India have quite the history and seem to be on relatively good terms even despite Smurk’s persistence. After a suggestive IG Live where they seemed to laugh together and where Durk held a mystery woman’s hand, many think that they’re back together. However, given their unclear back-and-forths prior to this development, fans can’t really be too sure. After all, this is the man who said “that p***y’s mine forever.”

Still, Lil Durk clearly still cares a lot for India Royale, as evidenced by his birthday message for her earlier this year. “Let me just look crazy cause GM y’all,” he wrote on Instagram. “She not dumb or justot her money on her own even after I went broke she help me… Watch my page all day ima give the street and relationship some tips later from the voice. Not the people who post drama only it’s f***ed up on my end not hers. I f***ed up she played a small part she really a good girls who live life.

“So I ain’t perfect but I’m for you and I love you,” he continued. “And I’m all ears when ever we get back in a relationship. You saved my life with you and willow and big sky outside all my kids you was there ripthang. This real s**t don’t attack her she definitely the best in the world trust me. I love you having fun and we ain’t fighting I said not fight and I started one but I miss you that’s all. Happy bday @indiaroyale,” he concluded. “Not belated everyday your day… read it everybody. Real love not a paid situation I just love her to death. She fed up but ima save us.” Regardless of your take, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Durk and India Royale.
Lil Durk and India Royale are a couple that a lot of people tend to be obsessed with. Overall, the two had been together for a few years prior to their recent supposed breakup. For the last month, fans have been praying for Durk as he has tried numerous times to get his partner back. However, it seemed that many of his efforts were all for nothing. After all, we have seen time and time again that getting one’s girl back is no easy task. Once you mess up, it can be hard to get that person to trust you or be with you again.
That said, Lil Durk is someone who is on social media a whole lot, so if he were able to get India back, fans would immediately take notice of that. Well, Durk was on Instagram Live last night, where he appeared to be in good spirits. Subsequently, it became extremely clear as to why this was the case. In the video down below, reposted by No Jumper, you can see Durk holding hands with a mystery woman. Although, if you do just a bit of thinking, you can come to the conclusion that this very well might be India Royale.
Of course, this led to some significant reactions on social media. Lil Durk and India Royale are a high-profile couple in the hip-hop world, and fans have been invested in their union. Although there is no confirmation that they have rekindled their love, Twitter was in shambles over the potential. “I’m so happy durk and India are back together. I almost gave up on love but they brought that spark back in my life. I will forever be grateful for them,” one person wrote. Another user wasn’t so shocked, saying “why are yall acting so shocked durk was with India.”
Moving forward, it will be very interesting to see how all of this develops. Hopefully, Lil Durk and India provide some clarity on all of this, very soon. In the meantime, let us know what you think of this potential reunion, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from the hip-hop world.

Lil Durk and India Royale’s curious relationship continues to unfold on social media, as the rapper said she has him “in a headlock.” Moreover, he responded to trolls on Twitter criticizing Royale for her fame and status, debating whether she’s “famous” or just “known.” Furthermore, a lot of people went at her for only reaching the limelight as a rapper’s baby mama. However, that’s a title and rise to fame that the 28-year-old seemed to embrace and not let get to her head. As such, she brushed off the critics and clapped back at a few people on Twitter, which Durk backed up.
“I’m one of the ones who don’t care about y’all saying I got famous from being a rapper baby mama,” she tweeted. “I did, and what about it? It’s Miss Rapper Baby Mama to you.” Then, she kept responding to people either defending her or continually bashing her after her remarks. Still, one of her most vocal supporters was none other than Durkio himself, who took to the comments section of TheShade Room Teens covering these interactions to put some respect on her name… albeit by reaffirming how much he wants her back. “Y’all talking all that s**t lol she got this rapper in a headlock,” he wrote.
India Royale Has Lil Durk “In A Headlock,” He Shares

I ain’t do her wrong I just keep her from the world. I love you having fun and we ain’t fighting I said not fight and I started one but I miss you that’s all. We ain’t no jokes we really that we can get the bag bag together without doing the most or copy cat what they did.” Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest on India Royale and Lil Durk.
Lil Durk has yet to respond to India Royale and NBA Youngboy’s back-and-forth. However, fans are anticipating that he’ll eventually issue another incoherent message on Instagram. On Monday night, things went left after India Royale lashed out at NBA Youngboy for heckling Lil Durk’s attempt to win back his ex. “Lol damn I know how it be when that h*e turn to a demon,” he tweeted following Durk’s weekend-long Instagram tirade. That response evidently got under India Royale’s skin, who went in on NBA Youngboy for mentioning the father of her child.
“Don’t speak on me bitch. I let you slide the first time,” she wrote. “That’s still my BD. Ion play about him. Y’all can chill. Fr.” The fact that India even responded caught everyone off-guard. Still, she didn’t clarify who she was speaking about until she referred to YB as “Dent Head.” As she and YB continued to trade shots back and forth, Durk began to trend online as many expected him to come to India’s defense.
Lil Durk Trends On Twitter

Durk’s recent social media output made him an immediate target when India Royale began going in on NBA Youngboy. Though he and India Royale appeared to have their fair share of issues when it came to their relationship, it felt surprising that she would even give YB the time of day. Still, her flurry of responses to the Louisiana rapper in defense of the father of her child led fans to come to their own conclusions of how he would respond.
Over the weekend, Durk shared several statements where he professed his love for India and vowing to make things right. Though he initially stated that the two were done, he followed up with a lengthy message where he explained that he wants to work things out. Ultimately, India Royale appeared to be fed up with his online antics and reiterated that she’s single. Perhaps, this feud with YB could bring them closer together. Check out the responses below.
The beef between Lil Durk and NBA Youngboy appears to have expanded into a Chicago vs. Everybody situation. Last night, YB’s comments regarding Durk’s relationship with India Royale sparked a bevy of tweets from Durk’s otherwise quiet ex-fiancée. Royale snapped after YB chimed in on their issues, delivering a flurry of subliminal tweets before confirming that she’s “talking about dent head,” a comment that 600 Breezy found particularly funny. “Called his lil ass dent head [crying emoji] I love Chicago,” 600 Breezy wrote on Twitter.
Despite India’s humorous take, the mother of one of NBA Youngboy’s children, leaped to YB defense in response to Breezy. “Don’t you got 3 triplets that you don’t take care of?” she wrote. “D*ck riding is at an all time high rn.” And while this could’ve simply been the end of the interaction, Breezy snapped back while bringing up allegations made by YB’s other baby momma, Jania Meshell, who said the Louisiana rapper gave her herpes. “Don’t you got herpes that you don’t take care of. Breakouts are at an all time high too boo,” he quipped.
NBA Youngboy’s BM & 600 Breezy Continue Trading Shots
Shortly after 600 Breezy mentioned NBA Youngboy’s alleged herpes diagnosis, Arcola continued to allege that the Chicago rapper doesn’t take care of his children. She claimed that he’s “loud and wrong,” adding, “Dead beat is at an all time high.” Still, Breezy made it clear that he takes care of all of his children and that their mothers are quite loyal to him. “All 4 of my real bay mamas said they will beat yo ass,” he wrote along with a shrugging emoji.
Around the same time she took shots at 600 Breezy, she also called out India Royale. “Not too much on him… child tf out ms mamas,” she added. However, India wasn’t necessarily going to bite the bait. She quietly replied on Twitter, “Ignoring you like your BD do.” Afterward, Royale reacted to the numerous individuals trying to speak on the matter. “Now everybody wanna chime in with their opinion. I see what Tupac was talking about,” she continued. Check out 600 Breezy and Arcola’s exchange above and peep India Royale’s tweets below.
Bitch my bd is married I don’t want him clown but when everybody think gone team up against him ima always have something to say https://t.co/RZdkZUOfCb
Before their split, Lil Durk and India Royale were “couple goals”. In an interview, India admitted that the two dated on Facetime six months before they actually met! She added that she immediately fell in love when meeting him. They flaunted their love all over social media and looked like they were going to actually get married. Years before he proposed, Durk told DJ Diamond Cutz that he already knew he wanted to marry India. Unfortunately, they never jumped the broom, as many people believe the Chicago rapper cheated.
At one point, they were the hottest couple. Since 2017, they have been linked together. Here’s what we know about their five year relationship.
Lil Durk puts India in his music video for a song dedicated to her titled, “India”. The song is on his mixtape, Signed to the Streets 2.5, to which he dropped at the end of 2017. In the video, you can see how he feels about his newfound love.

Let us know if you think Lil Durk and India Royale will get back together in the comments.
It really takes one common enemy to bring two people together, and that person is NBA Youngboy. In the midst of Lil Durk’s attempt to win India Royale back, NBA Youngboy couldn’t help but allegedly comment on their relationship woes. From a non-verified account Akademiks said belonged to YB, the “Right Foot Creep” rapper sympathized with Durk’s position, albeit snarkily. “Lol damn I know how it be when that h*e turn to a demon,” the tweet reads, along with a laughing emoji.
Afterward, Youngboy reiterated the campaign slogan for his upcoming album, Don’t Try This At Home, writing, “It’s all entertainment. Given Youngboy’s long-standing feud with Lil Durk, India Royale wasn’t about to allow the rapper to disrespect the father of her child, regardless of their current standings. India unleashed a pair of tweets aimed at a subliminal target. “Don’t speak on me bitch. I let you slide the first time,” she wrote. “That’s still my BD. Ion play about him. Y’all can chill. Fr,” she added. At this point, fans largely speculated that she took issue with NBA Youngboy’s comments but she later made it abundantly clear in her subsequent tweets.
“That lil boy need to find somebody to play with. You was just a dirty lil bad kid. You ain’t like that Fr,” India wrote afterward before confirming that she’s “talking about dent head.” India then questioned Youngboy’s street credentials. “Ppl think because they was dirty and in the hood they automatically gang,” she wrote. “You wasn’t toting no guns, you was food deprived.” Evidently, Royale wasn’t necessarily interested in allowing NBA Youngboy to continue taking shots at her.
“Don’t be dense. If he wasn’t talking about me this time he was the last time,” India commented on Instagram. “TF Ima real Chicago b*tch. Y’all don’t lost it.” It seems as though YB found the interaction rather amusing as he shared a screenshot of “DentHead” on Apple Music. “[crying laughing emoji] b*tch I know 1 thing you ain’t gone muthaf*cking play with me,” he tweeted with the picture. Check out India Royale’s comments above.
