Lil Durk Sells Out United Center For A Second Time: Watch

by

Lil Durk is easily one of the biggest artists in Chicago right now. Overall, this success is very much deserved. He has been delivering some truly incredible albums over the past few years. Moreover, he continues to increase his profile by being featured on nearly every single big hip-hop album. On top of all of this, he has been giving back to his community in some pretty unique ways. At this point, he is having his moment in the spotlight, and his fans are very excited about where he goes from here.

Over the weekend, Lil Durk hosted two concerts in Chicago at the United Center. Unfortunately, the first night was madness due to a false call about an active shooter. This subsequently led to some merch kiosks being stolen from. Some of these clips went viral on social media, and it was a bad look for an otherwise positive and amazing performance. On Sunday night, Durk had a chance to deliver a more subdued performance, and that is exactly what happened.

Lil Durk Does It Again

According to DJ Akademiks, Lil Durk was able to sell out the entire United Center for a second night in a row. In a world where a lot of artists are struggling to sell out arenas, this is a huge accomplishment. Of course, this all took place in Durk’s hometown, which just goes to show that his people are rocking with him. Also, given the turbulent nature of Saturday’s performance, it is very cool to see people still showing up on Sunday. It is yet another example of the kind of reach Durk has right now.

Hopefully, Durk is able to pull similar crowds across the country. It would be a great look not just for himself, but hip-hop as a whole. Let us know what you think of Durk and his music, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

DaBaby Posts Email Showing Hong Kong Show Is 75% Sold Out

by

DaBaby recently posted a screenshot of an email that showed his Hong Kong show almost sold out. Moreover, the email included an update from presumably the event promoter or venue owner concerning ticket sales. “Hi Andrew,” the message begins, likely addressing a member of the Charlotte rapper’s team. “Sorry for the delay as I [was] away for Japan. The show have announced and went on sale. We are currently at 8200 tickets sold. So 75% sold.” Also, the screenshot included a message from the MC’s team that sent him the email. They wrote, “Hong King going to be LIT. U didn’t even have to announce…”

Furthermore, DaBaby posted the screenshot on his Instagram page with the show date. “#LIVESHOWKILLA,” he captioned his post. “Hong Kong March 11th.” Of course, readers likely remember DaBaby’s reported dwindling ticket sales in his U.S. shows following public controversy. However, the 31-year-old seems set on finding tour success in other parts of the world. Moreover, the chip on his shoulder will likely continue to motivate him to flex his money making. Still, he stood by his live experiences satisfying fans and bringing a good time, regardless of the number of patrons.

Meanwhile, the “Suge” MC also tried to circumvent some of his legal troubles recently. Moreover, he sought a postponement in his civil trial for alleged assault. The incident reportedly occurred in 2020 between DaBaby and a property leaser who claims the artist assaulted him. Also, authorities charged him criminally for the same incident. Furthermore, his attorneys maintained that the rapper can’t “testify in this matter until after his criminal case [resolves], which will not be until October 2023, at minimum.”

While the court originally scheduled his hearing for April, his lawyers claim that he can’t handle both jurisdictions concurrently. If the trial isn’t postponed, lawyers stated, “[DaBaby] will not be able to respond to discovery or testify without providing information that could potentially incriminate him in the parallel criminal case.” Whether his case ends up getting more difficult with time, at least he has some shows to look forward to. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news on DaBaby and his almost sold-out Hong Kong show.
