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.
