Lil Durk, one of Chicago’s best, is known for constantly speaking his thoughts, regardless of the consequences or response. Despite his 10-year stint in the game, it wasn’t until recently that he began to receive flowers as a superstar.
Durk’s versatility ranges from classic love songs with Dej Loaf to summer anthems with the 6ix God. Lil Durk, along with a plethora of others, helped to popularize the drill music genre. However, with Chief Keef’s meteoric rise, it was difficult to see in the beginning. The Voice has been doing well for himself since the 2010s. Lil Durk’s grind never stops.
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). However, many artists claim that is the reason why their careers get stunted. Whether you’re Ye West, Tyler The Creator, or Lil Durk the possibility for being blackballed, especially in this day in age of “cancel culture” has risen exponentially.

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.
Looks like the Slump God was right to not believe the post. Later on, Durk posted again saying, “Sike can’t black ball a goat.” Turns out it was all in good fun and pure jokes. Lil Durk wanted us all to stay on our toes. Furthermore, while Smurk isn’t spending time joking on Instagram, he’s taking care of his mental in therapy. Recently Durk revealed that he’s been attending therapy sessions and they help him “cope different,” says the rapper. What do you think of Lil Durk’s claims of being blackballed?
