One of the more prominent names in hip hop and quite frankly by the numbers is becoming a household name among the heavyweights in the rap game is Lil Durk.
AKA Durkio aka Smurk advises against big-time flexing via his Instagram story.
“Stop buying all this jewelry without knowing what you doing a lot of the shit is fake and some is overpriced get 1 jeweler and stick to em I’m telling you y’all ass gone be pissed when the truth comes out.” (Per HNHH).

What was the motivation behind the message? We don’t quite know. However, we are certain that it was aimed at someone. Rappers are no strangers to a “luxurious lifestyle”. They don’t mind reminding you just how broke you really are. Yet who can blame them if you’ve been at the bottom? Durk might be explaining things from behind the scenes he obviously knows something about the jeweler industry that we all may not know.
I be acting like I’m happy but I’m really sad inside 😞

Durk: Keep it on the DL?
Apparently, certain rappers don’t know it either. Perhaps Dirk’s intended message was to not draw any unwanted attention your way especially if you are adapting from a street lifestyle into a popular artist one. Lil Durk may be going through some major life-changing events after he and his girlfriend were shot at earlier this summer. Right before that occasion, Durk lost his older brother, gunned down amid the release of his with Lil Baby, “Voice of the Heroes”.
Durk also stated that he would not be a name drop any more people in his music moving forward. This sounds like a Durk maturing as an artist and as a man. We hope to continue to see more of his leadership in the rap game. Leave us a comment telling us what you think about Lil Durk advising against certain jewelers in the rap game.
