Lil Durk Claims He Confronted Someone In His DMs Over Public Comments

by

Lil Durk always maintains a pretty direct and no-frills social media presence, for better or worse. Often, he sends out subliminal messages to other rappers, people who have wronged him, about his relationship with India Royale, or just simple promotion and flexing. However, it’s rare to see him engage in social media beef, save for his long-running feud with Quando Rondo. Even then, The Voice would much rather leave that sort of stuff for in-person interviews and keep the Gram for his subs and promos. Moreover, his most recent Instagram Story does just that, as he apparently checked someone over their public comments and didn’t specify.

“He said some in public I got in his dm and made em apologize,” Lil Durk claimed on his IG Story recently. “I can’t say what I want on my page my page is monetized,” the Chicago rapper concluded. Overall, it’s interesting that something made him draw a line, as he typically posts all kinds of content on his page. Alas, that’s the nature of vague social media beef. It would be far from the first time that Durk engaged in this kind of stuff, be it direct or otherwise.

Furthermore, on the Off The Record podcast with DJ Akademiks, Smurk talked about King Von’s passing. Not only that, but he took specific shots at Quando Rondo and Lul Tim for causing and taunting it, expressing that “that changed everybody’s lives irreparably.” “Yeah, that s**t f***ed everybody up, boy, when a real gangsta get took out by a nerd type,” Lil Durk said, calling Rondo a “little boy.” He responded via Twitter with “The Nerds Got 7 Of ‘Em Last Year Urkkkk…” Though he was very direct in person, Durk didn’t address that on social media beyond presumably some subliminal shots.

Meanwhile, his Instagram page is one of the first points of contact with fans to announce new music. For example, the 30-year-old recently announced that a deluxe version of his latest album Almost Healed is on the way. We’ll see how he continues to use his social media to speak briefly on his actions and push his latest moves. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Durk.

Jack Harlow Allegedly Told 2023 Met Gala Press “I’m On Shrooms” To Avoid Interviews

by

Fresh off the release of his latest album Jackman, Jack Harlow might be riding a few different highs at the moment. Moreover, the Louisville rapper recently appeared in Tommy Hilfiger luxury at the 2023 Met Gala, but there’s a twist. According to a New York Times reporter, Harlow allegedly mouthed “I’m on shrooms” to press at the event who tried to speak with him. Even though he showed up on the red carpet, he didn’t talk to many media people there (except apparently Emma Chamberlain, who hosted for Vogue). During their conversation, he reportedly came across as completely coherent.

Furthermore, this is made even odder by the fact that the 25-year-old has been a big advocate for sobriety in recent years. As such, many fans can’t believe that Jack Harlow was actually on shrooms for the event. In addition, he has a lot of things to promote and talk about at the moment, so why would he not want to talk to press about it? All in all, this is still an unconfirmed, albeit slightly hilarious, piece of gossip floating around. Still, it does come from one of the top news sources in the world.

Jack Harlow Allegedly Said He Was On Shrooms To Avoid The Press

What’s more is that the upward trajectory that the “They Don’t Love It” rapper has displayed must signify a deeper reason for his alleged choice. For example, he has a new starring role on the way for the reboot of White Men Can’t Jump. In addition, Jackman garnered a lot of buzz among critics and fans alike for its stripped-back and more classically hip-hop approach compared to his previous work. Regardless, it seems like Jack Harlow just wasn’t feeling it on Monday (May 1) to indulge in some clips for the media.

In fact, there might be something on his latest album that is driving his choice, which is what sent fans and naysayers into a frenzy. On the aforementioned “They Don’t Love It,” he labeled himself as the hardest white rapper since Eminem. Moreover, considering how explosively those statements tend to land with fans and the press alike, maybe he predicted an onslaught of pushback. However, at the end of the day, we can’t expect for artists to always be at the whim of their audiences or the press, and that has to be respected. Regardless, check out snaps of Jack Harlow at the 2023 Met Gala below and return to HNHH for more on these topics.
