Perkio Will Fight 6ix9ine If Lil Durk Pays For It

by

If Lil Durk has a million fans, then Perkio is one of them. If Lil Durk has one fan, then Perkio is that one fan. If Lil Durk has no fans, that means Perkio is dead. The Lil Durk’s doppelganger has often taken his love of the rapper to the extreme. Previously, Perkio has said that if Lil Durk is single, he’s single too. It’s clear that Perkio is ready to stand in solidarity with Lil Durk, no matter the cost or occasion.

However, not everyone is a fan of Perkio. One of Perkio’s biggest detractors is 6ix9ine, who has been beefing with look-a-like since April 2022. This beef has consequently bled over into 6ix9ine’s beef with the actual Lil Durk. However, Perkio has seemingly moved away from being “Fake Lil Durk” in recent weeks, debuting a brand-new look in late April.

Perkio Steps Up After Fight Offer Goes Unmet

Perkio might have a new look, but he’s still got Lil Durk’s back. Recently, Lil Durk offered to fight 6ix9ine for a $50 million purse fronted entirely by Durk. However, 6ix9ine declined, stating that he was not interested in a public spectacle or Durk’s money. “Come to Miami let’s get a hotel room and just throw down 1 on 1,” 6ix9ine counter-offered. Despite the rise in novelty boxing matches between celebrities, neither Durk or 6ix9ine is yet to participate.

However, Perkio is here to pick up Durk’s discarded gloves. Taking to Instagram, Perkio voiced his willingness to fight in Durk’s place. “Love Durk so much I’ll beat 69 free if twin put up the cash,” Perkio wrote over a picture of him flashing his chains and giving the camera the finger. Perkio’s offer fills the conditions of 6ix9ine – a free fight away from the public eye. Despite Perkio’s gallantry, it remains to be seen if 6ix9ine has any interest in fighting the look-a-like when his beef is with the real deal Lil Durk. 6ix9ine has yet to respond to the fight offer. However, if he does, you’ll find all the details here on HotNewHipHop.

Lil Durk Doppelgänger Perkio Debuts New Look

by

Celebrity doppelgängers are always fun to see, but rarely do they get more than a moment of shine. Lil Durk’s lookalike Perkio, however, is circumventing that by looking to start his own rap career without riding off of Durk’s coattails. However, it seems like he’s aiming to do so with a pretty different look, too. Recently, the impersonator showed shorter black locks (Smurk ironically went back to black, as well, although not as short). In the video uploaded to his Instagram, he updated fans on what he’s up to, like music videos, and letting them know there are some big things to come.

Still, there was a point in time where Perkio was saying things that were a little too close to The Voice. One instance surrounds the Chicago MC’s relationship with India Royale, which has seen its fair share of ups, downs, and pleas to make up. Despite Lil Durk still wanting to be with her, Perkio said that because Smurk is single, he’s single. Maybe since then he’s made more different decisions and followed a distinct path that isn’t bound by his lookalike.

Perkio Now Has A Different Look From Lil Durk

Also, fans consider that Perkio was no stranger to chasing the bag off of his similarity to Lil Durk. Last September, he revealed that he charged about $10K per show, which was a lot of money for many fans’ pockets. Of course, those numbers might change and even go up if the doppelgänger’s rap career fully takes off. Back in December of last year, he dropped visuals for the track “Shake It.” Quality tracks and a new flow or style could actually breathe new life into Perkio as a legitimate MC to watch, albeit one with a strange backstory.

Meanwhile, Lil Durk is quite busy getting praise from rap legends, which likely distracts him from focusing on his copycats (whether in the physical or artistic sense). Recently, he reflected on how it felt to have Jay-Z tell him he motivates him at a Roc-A-Fella brunch. ““It’s just motivation,” the 30-year-old shared. “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.” Come back to HNHH for the latest news on Lil Durk and Perkio.
