Jay-Z & Lil Durk Link Up After Beyonce’s Show In Los Angeles

by

Lil Durk and Jay-Z were among the avalanche of stars present at Beyonce’s recent “RENAISSANCE” tour stops in Los Angeles. The two rappers might be from different generations, but they were all smiles after the concert in a series of newly surfaced pictures. It seems like everybody had an amazing time at the spectacle, and from what footage and testimonies indicate, it should come as no surprise. What’s more is that it’s probably made more fun for fans, given that they can scope out which big names are around. To top it off, this was after Durkio gave a surprise performance as part of DJ Khaled’s opening set that night.

Of course, when two MCs link up, the first thought in many fans’ minds is what a collaboration between them would sound like if there isn’t one already. In the case of Lil Durk and Jay-Z, their hardened and entrepreneurial approach in the game is quite similar. Sure, Hov and other OGs opened those doors for many artists to aspire to, and the Chicago artist is no exception. That inspiration, though, can yield amazing results, so hopefully it ends up happening down the road.

Lil Durk & Jay-Z Twizz Up Post-Beyonce Show

In a XXL interview, Lil Durk said that Jay-Z inspired him to “build an empire of [his] own.” “S**t, look what he did. Résumé speak for itself. He used to be in this position. He used to be the underdog. The streets used to take him under. And he bossed up, you know what I’m sayin’? You ain’t see him post pictures every day trying to fit in. I seen him at Michael Rubin’s party. He like, ‘Man, you motivate me.’ Man, f***ed me up. I forgot my reply to him, ’cause it was on a walk-by. The reply ain’t make no damn sense ’cause it shocked me. I’m like, ‘What the f**k? Damn, that’s hard.’

“It’s just motivation,” he said when asked how that made him feel. “Everything happens for a reason. It was for a reason I was standing right there when he walked past at the time. You know, it’s probably people that be around him every day or be around Drake every day and wasting time. And they won’t be like, ‘Lemme learn how to engineer. Lemme learn how to shoot videos, lemme learn how to…’ They just want to soak up the air. I’m like, nah, I’m gonna get to it. I’m gonna figure this s**t out for us.” On that note, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Jay-Z and Lil Durk.

Lil Durk Pokes Fun At Sexyy Red On His Instagram Story

by

Sexyy Red has been the butt of a lot of jokes throughout the past week or so. Most recently, the up-and-coming rap star voiced her frustrations with people saying she looks like Atlanta legend Young Thug. While we can see why a woman would not like her looks to compared to a man’s appearance, it is still a funny thing to think about. In the interview, Red says, “Cuz no the f*** we do not look alike.” The video clip is hilarious as it shows her and Thug in a side-by-side comparison. However, Lil Durk is now getting in on the action.

Just over a week ago, Lil Durk tweeted out to his followers saying, “Feel like going on my feature run… I’m healed …. First stop sexy red second stop ytbFATT.” If you notice, the Chicago rapper spells Sexyy Red’s name wrong. Intentional or not, she did not take too kindly to that. She replied to his tweet, “Dang u gon spell my name wrong Lil Jerk ?” She included the crying laughing emoji with the disappointed face emoji. Subsequently, Durk thought it would be funny to continue the running gag. Let’s just say he succeeded in keeping the joke alive.

Durk shared an image to his Instagram story that shows a recording file for the remix to Red’s song “Hellcats SRTs.” The song appears on her sophomore album Hood Hottest Princess. Once again Durk pokes fun at her with the file reading “cexy reddd lol for calling me jerk.” The St. Louis rapper responded to the image on Twitter, “Ok lol luh derk got me lost for words right now.” It will be interesting to hear both artists on a song with some out-there lyrics from Red.

Sexyy Red Says Lil Durk Remix Has Her “Lost For Words” Ahead Of Release

by

Seeing as Sexyy Red’s most famous bars are completely unserious lines like “My coochie pink, my bootyhole brown,” many were skeptical of how far the redhead could take herself in the rap industry. Despite rumours that salacious songs from female artists are becoming less attractive to the general public, Red’s Hood Hottest Princess album helped solidify her space in the industry. In fact, she has some of the most popular male rappers desperate to meet her, including Drake, G Herbo, and Tyler, The Creator. Another artist who was eager to work with the 25-year-old is Lil Durk, and much to fan’s pleasure, they’ve been teasing a collaboration on Twitter throughout the last few weeks of August.

“Feel like going on my feature run,” the Chicago native shared with fans on Twitter recently. “I’m healed. First stop, Sexy Red. Second stop, ytbFATT,” Durk added. Of course, the rap diva was quick to point out the misspelling of her name. “Dang, [you] gon spell my name wrong Lil Jerk?” she quipped.

It’s obviously never pleasant to have one’s name spelled incorrectly, especially by a co-worker, though Durk and Red seem to be having fun with their online banter ahead of the “HELLCATS & SRTS (Remix)” release. The Voice tweeted out a photo of a computer screen on which he once again spelt his collaborator’s moniker wrong. “Cexy Reddd lol for calling me Jerk,” he playfully teased her. Once she got the message on Tuesday (August 29) morning, the “Hood Rats” hitmaker replied, “Ok lol, Luh Derk got me lost for words right now 😭.”

Even with all the time she’s been spending in the studio and on stage performing lately, Sexyy Red still managed to cross something major off her bucket list earlier this month. The St. Louis-born star attended her first-ever frat party, and she definitely brought the right attitude to the event. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Sexyy Red Has A Remix Of ‘Hellcats & SRTs’ With Lil Durk On The Way

It’s Sexyy Red’s moment right now. The St. Louis rapper’s wishes are all coming true; she’s met (and opened for) Drake, she got a cute photo with Tyler The Creator, and she’s set to turn cities across America into Pound Town satellites with her upcoming Hood Hottest Princess Tour. She’s got a lot of momentum, and it looks like she’s not letting any of it slip away.

Next on her agenda is a remix of her Hood Hottest Princess single “Hellcats & SRTS” featuring none other than Lil Durk. The two rappers had a humorous exchange recently when Durk teased the upcoming collab, but accidentally misspelled Red’s rap name in his tweet. “Feel like going on my feature run,” he wrote. “I’m healed….First stop sexy red second stop ytbFATT.”

The error prompted her to tease him with a typo of her own (albeit an intentional one), writing, “Dang u gon spell my name wrong Lil Jerk?”

The two rappers kept the gag going this week, with Durk sharing a screenshot of his DAW (digital audio workstation) session featuring the reveal of the collab’s title and a joking, even worse misspelling of “cexy reddd” for the artist name. She came right back, cracking, “Ok lol luh derk got me lost for words right now.” The funny exchange has both rappers’ fans hype for the collab; clearly, if they have this much chemistry online, their musical connection is going to be a must-listen.

It must be real nice to be Drake. Last night in Los Angeles, the Toronto native performed his last of six shows in Los Angeles, currently on the road for his It’s All A Blur Tour. The first four shows took place at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, as Drizzy saved the best for last: two sold out shows at crypto.com Arena, home to the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers.

Night one was full of festivities, as Drake brought out LeBron James and his son Bronny to walk out with him. Night two was just as eventful, bringing out Lil Durk as he walked the path from his dressing room to the main stage. The two collaborated on the song “LAUGH NOW CRY LATER.”

Of course, Drake plays no games when it comes to his live show. In fact, he even had a younger version of himself on stage (played by a look-a-like), reminding fans of his time on the television show Degrassi. He then gives the story of how he was on Lil Wayne’s tour bus, but Wayne said they were waiting on someone before he could play Drake Tha Carter III. That person turned out to be Kobe Bryant, who Drake made sure to pay homage to this evening.

A hilarious moment arrived when Drake started picking up bras on the stage, commenting on the wide variety of sizes being thrown at him. The entire arena was turnt, as the “God’s Plan” rapper utilized the moment to deliver a message of positivity. He also took a shot with everyone, in commemoration of his last stop in LA.

Drake also plugged his new album, For All the Dogs, with cover art drawn by his own son Adonis.

Halfway through the show, 21 Savage walked out to the main stage as Drake took a breather. It’s no secret the two Platinum-selling artists share an undeniable bond, and their synergy has yielded to fire records such as “Rich Flex,” “Mr Right Now,” “Jimmy Cooks,” and more.

Lil Durk Tells His Fans To Expect A Feature Run

by

Chicago-born rap star Lil Durk is on a great run of big moments in 2023. Back in May 2023, he dropped his massive album Almost Healed after all of the health struggles he had been battling up until and through the release of the project. He called on some of the biggest artists across all genres including J. Cole for their hit “All My Life.” It is a fantastic anthem about making it to the top through all the adversity and of the most inspirational songs of the year without a doubt. He also nabbed features from the likes of Alicia Keys, country megastar Morgan Wallen, a posthumous verse from Juice WRLD, Future, and many others.

Durk earlier this month is also helping those who are less fortunate in his community. He along with his Neighborhood Heroes foundation, has assisted the Chicago youth with financial literacy classes. Therapy sources are also available as well so he truly has been doing a lot for his career musically and philanthropically. With all of that winning, Lil Durk seems to be more ready than ever to hop back onto other artists’ tracks and body them as he has done for years.

Lil Durk Offers Chicago Youth Financial Literacy Classes

by

Lil Durk may be well known for his brash and aggressive music, but he also has another side. The rapper, along with his Neighborhood Heroes foundation, has helped to provide Chicago youth with financial literacy classes. It’s also been reported other services will provide, like access to therapy resources. A clip recently surfaced online of the rapper hanging out with the kids and taking photos.

Another one of Lil Durk’s charitable endeavors included the creation and development of the Durk Banks Endowment Fund as part of a collaboration with Amazon Music. The Almost Healed rapper donated nearly $350,000 to Howard University in the form of scholarships and grants. Additionally, he awarded two Chicago students $50,000 each to attend the HBCU, as well as $250,000 that will contribute to the university’s GRACE Grant. He and his team also offered select students the opportunity to join his Neighborhood Heroes HBCU College & Career Readiness Cohort Program.

For nearly three years, the Neighborhood Heroes Foundation has worked to “empower and collaborate with everyday Heroes who are taking the lead to make positive change in the lives of those within under-resourced neighborhoods across the nation,” according to its website. Lil Durk founded the nonprofit organization back in 2020. It was created during a key time of civil unrest in the country and George Floyd’s death.

But not everything in the rapper’s life is worth celebrating. Chicago police have opened an investigation into reports of an active shooter at the United Center, where Lil Durk was supposed to perform. Details about the incident are scarce but reportedly, law enforcement responded to multiple calls about a gunman at the venue. Videos posted to social media showed fans fleeing the scene. According to the sources, the gunman opened fire while Durk’s concert was in progress, causing the show to be stopped. As mentioned, very little information about this incident is currently available. The only sources are videos reposted by the likes of No Jumper. Additionally, there are reports that the active shooter designation was false.

Lil Durk‘s second show in two nights at Chicago’s United Center ended in chaos. Reports of an active shooter brought officers into the building. A shooter has not been confirmed, but videos of fights and more have emerged from the venue.

Footage also shows a stampede in the standing room section of the concert and fans looting the merch stands.

Durk stated on Instagram: “Don’t believe the hype we bigger then big thank you Chicago [goat emoji] till next time and who all stole the merchandise tag me so I repost y’all crazy ass [wounded heart emoji]”

Lil Durk has canceled numerous tour dates and is leaving behind festival appearances that would pay him $750,000. According to Akademiks, this happens as the rapper focuses on his health and not due to low ticket sales.

“Since I’m still awaiting to get full clearance from my doctors to travel and perform again, I have no other choice but to cancel my headlining Rolling Loud performance,” Durk wrote. “While I’m home resting, I am looking forward to my two homecoming shows on the 11th and 12th in Chicago. For the rest of the country, I’ll be announcing new dates soon. #StillHealing.”

Last month, Durkio was in the hospital after suffering from severe dehydration and exhaustion.

According to TMZ Hip-Hop, Durk fell ill in Ohio and checked into a hospital on July 6. His trip to the hospital was for safety, but doctors assessed his condition as a bit more serious.

“My fans mean everything to me, you’re the reason why I do this,” Durk said at the time. “I was looking forward to touching all of my European fans, performing this week(end), attending the ESPYs and more but after performing and traveling daily I’ve become severely dehydrated and advised by my doctors not to travel due to exhaustion. Once I get my full energy back, it’s back to business which I’m looking forward to. #StillHealing.”
