The Chicago rap singer Lil Durk has showed his gentler side throughout the years, and it was on full display last week when he helped a homeless fan—even though his music is filled with plenty of harsh language.
A homeless man in Los Angeles became viral on TikTоk last month for playing Durk’s “All My Life” video with J. Cole on a projector screen inside a sidewalk tent. Durk visited him on Wednesday (May 31) and livestreamed himself on Instagram while he was there.
Obviously moved by the video, the OTF hitmaker tracked down the fan and showered him with numerous lavish gifts, but these were no ordinary trinkets.
In an effort to lift him out of his plight and leave a lasting impression on his life, Lil Durk bestowed onto the man a 30-day hotel room, a mobile phone, gift cards, and an undisclosed sum of money.I intend to accomplish something truly remarkable. I have compassion in my heart, don’t you think?” While cruising around Los Angeles for his Instagram Live broadcast, Smurk commented. Now I’m going to go up to the homeless man who was playing ‘All My Life’ in the tent.
A hotel room was reserved for him by me. You have no idea the struggles that other people are facing. I’m going to approach him and sаy, “Let’s get it.”
“You know you were playing the video on the screen, ‘All My Life.'” Durk then approached the fan, climbed out of his car, and welcomed him. Myself and J. Cole are featured, you know? Hey, I’ve got a room for you for 30 days, some cash, gift cards, and a phone as a token of my support.
“I appreciate it…, In response, the fan expressed immense gratitude. “Thank you.”The Chicagoan made sure he was okay with being “seen” before turning the camera on him to introduce him to his Instagram Live audience and get his nаme. “Pedro,” the man murmured back.
Pedro responded, “I appreciate it, I love it,” in response to Durk’s addition that read, “Pedro, I appreciate you so much, deeply, from the bottom of my heart, to come do this for you.” I really appreciate that.
They said their goodbyes and exchanged more pleasantries before they parted ways.
Quite frankly, this isn’t Lil Durk’s first act of kindness recently. The 30-year-old established the Durk Banks Endowment Fund in April in collaboration with Amazon Music. The fund will provide financial assistance to two deserving students at Howard University in Washingtоn, D.C.
Two students were chosen from a pool of twenty to receive $50,000 scholarships to attend the esteemed HBCU as part of Durk’s Neighborhood Heroes HBCU College & Career Readiness Cohort Program.
To further assist students in need of financial aid, the Almost Healed rapper also revealed that he will be donating $250,000 to Howard’s GRACE Grant.
Durk, who goes by the stage nаme “The Voice,” is deeply involved in the realm of higher education as well as in his hometown of Chicago’s underprivileged youngsters and their organizations through his nonprofit, the Neighborhood Heroes Foundation.
