Amid his ongoing legal troubles, Lil Durk is maintaining a positive outlook during his time in prison, taking things “a day at a time.” The rapper, who is currently incarcerated on charges related to an alleged murder-for-hire plot, recently received a supportive call from Kanye West, who shared updates about his own life and upcoming projects.
Lil Durk faces serious charges stemming from an alleged scheme to pay individuals to carry out the murder of Quando Rondo’s cousin, Lul Pab, in retaliation for the 2020 murder of his close friend, King Von. Durk has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial, scheduled to start in October. Despite the circumstances, he expressed a sense of calm, saying, “I’m feeling good, just taking it a day at a time. You know, just chilling and staying focused for real.”
During the call, Kanye West took the opportunity to discuss his upcoming album, titled “BULLY,” and his recent collaborations with other artists. West also revealed that he had been in contact with Diddy, who is currently facing his own legal issues. The Bad Boy Records founder was arrested in September on charges related to alleged sex trafficking and racketeering, with a trial expected to begin in May.
West’s connection with Durk has seen ups and downs, as he previously suggested they had a falling out over a controversial verse Durk sent him. In a past appearance on Justin LaBoy’s “The Download” podcast, Kanye expressed his disappointment over the lines, which referenced taking off a Yeezy shirt and turning it into a doormat. “I hit him up and said, ‘You’re breaking my heart. Who told you to do this?’” West recounted, highlighting the tension that had developed between them.
As the two artists navigate their respective challenges, the call reflects the importance of camaraderie and support within the hip-hop community, especially during difficult times. Lil Durk’s resilient spirit and Kanye’s willingness to reach out demonstrate how artists can lean on each other, even when faced with personal and legal battles.
With Durk’s trial approaching and Kanye working on new music, fans are left to wonder how these developments will unfold and what impact they may have on their careers moving forward. The intersection of personal struggles and artistic expression continues to shape the narratives within hip-hop, making this a story to watch closely.
