Lil Durk says he’s blackballed from the music industry.
Moreover, with his features, tours, and community service, it’s clear that Smurk is not just a Chicago rapper, he’s a leader in his community. However, recently, Lil Durk posted on his Instagram story that the grind was long due to extra hurdles. On his story, it read, “I been doing this black balled (laughing emoji),” indicating that the although he’s been putting in the work, the industry is working against him. Being “black balled” isn’t uncommon within the music game (just ask 6ix9ine).
YoungBoy’s troubles stem from his long-running feud with Chicago gangster-turned-rapper Lil Durk (pictured).
Lil Durk is among the few drill rappers invited to collaborate with Khaled on GOD DID.
It seems the music industry is siding with Lil Durk against NBA YoungBoy.
YoungBoy’s affiliates Quando Rondo and Lul Timm were involved in the murder of Durk’s friend King Von in Atlanta in 2020.
When Durk made the post, it raised a ton of eyebrows. Fans and contemporaries alike were puzzled as to who would want to blackball Smurk. The post even prompted comments from Ski Mask the Slump God. He claims that the Chicago native has way too much motion for him to believe that. Not only that, many fans speculated whether or not it was due to his beef with NBA Youngboy.
He continued: “it might be a little minute but it’s coming, I always got what I wanted no matter if I had to pray for it, or steal it, I got it.”
Months ago, YoungBoy complained that he is being blacklisted in the industry.
“Why black ball me I’m the good guy,” he wrote in early 2022. “I was going #1 two weeks straight with a mixtape so they took it down off the charts I don’t give a f**k you still can’t stop me [sic].”
