Lil Durk has made a commitment to demonstrate his value of $200,000 per show as he announces his departure from social media
Lil Durk, riding high on the success of his latest project “The Voice,” which sold over 93,000 total album-equivalent units in its first two weeks, has upped his show guarantee to $200,000 and made appearances alongside Drake on “Laugh Now Cry Later.” Now, he’s gearing up to release a deluxe version of the album, declaring himself the “G.O.A.T.” after seeing impressive second-week sales numbers.
However, fans won’t be hearing from him until the deluxe version of “The Voice” drops. Durk announced his social media hiatus on Saturday night (January 9) via Instagram, informing his 8.1 million followers, “I’m off the internet until my deluxe drops in a couple of days.” He also pledged to demonstrate why he commands a six-figure fee per show, stating, “Finna show y’all why I want 200k a show.”
“The Voice” was a tribute to the late King Von, who was tragically shot and killed in November 2020. In light of his loss and personal reflection, Durk recently decided to refrain from mentioning deceased individuals in his music, tweeting on January 7, “I’m done nΠ°me dropping the deΠ°d after my deluxe. in songs only tho.”
Released on December 24, 2020, “The Voice” faced a challenge in its opening week tally as only one day of sales counted toward the total. This led professional provocateur 6ix9ine to mock Durk for his seemingly lackluster debut.
Not only did 6ix9ine ridicule the first-week sales, but he also took a swipe at Von, writing, “REST IN PΞΉSS.” However, 6ix9ine fell silent after “The Voice” surpassed 70,000 total album-equivalent units in its second week.
Four singles from the album, including the Von collaboration “Still Trappin’,” charted on the Billboard HΠΎt 100, showcasing Durk’s continued relevance in the music industry. “The Voice” itself reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, solidifying Durk’s status as a force to be reckoned with in the music scene.
