Lil Durk among many other artists took the stage at Chicago’s Lollapalooza. While the festival was a hit, Durk had a rough time finishing up his set due to an onstage explosion.
On Saturday, July 30, Lil Durk was rushed to the hospital after his Lollapalooza performance. According to HipHop DX, Durk suffered from a minor face injury as he accidentally walked into two onstage explosions. While performing, smoke effects burst out from the floor of the stage, hitting the rapper directly in the eye. Immediately the show was paused as he started walking backward while pulling up his shirt to wipe his eyes.

Lil Durk striving at #1!
In other recent news, about a month ago FMHipHop reported the release of Cardi B’s Hot Sh*t collab featuring Lil Durk and Kanye West. Our source indicates that originally the song was going to arrive without a music video, however the trio never disappoints and we were lucky enough to get one. Lil Durk even stated the track may be “song of the year.”
As FMHipHop continues to wish Lil Durk a speedy recovery, the rapper also took to Instagram just days ago to announce his song, “What Happened To Virgil” featuring Gunna, hitting #1 on Urban Radio. As for Lollapalooza, the festival was a success with performances from Lil Baby, J Cole, Big Sean, Dua Lipa, Machine Gun Kelly and more.
