Last year, Lil Durk became one of the newest rap artists to embrace Islam, He publicly embraced the religion sharing his journey through social media. It’s a surprisingly common feat among rappers with Durk following in the footsteps of numerous other genre figures who made similar conversions. He’s continuing to publicly embrace his faith though his most recent move is one that left many questioning how deep that faith actually lies.
Pictures of a new chain Lil Durk copped made the rounds earlier this week. It’s a massive star of Islam chain that sports impressive detail in its craftsmanship.

Many rushed to the comments to point out that his music and many of his actions don’t align with the teachings of Islam at all. “In Islam men wearing chains is haram 
” one of the top comments on the post reads. “everything he did and does is against religion lmao
” another comment agrees. Check out the post and the fan reactions to it below.
