Lil Durk Extremely Wants To Hold Massive Prayer For Chicago City Muslims
Lil Durk, known as “The Voice,” continues his advocacy for peace with a heartfelt request for a massive prayer gathering in Chicago. On Wednesday (June 7), he posted a series of Instagram Stories calling for unity among Chicago’s Muslim community to help quell ongoing conflicts.
“I want to hold the biggest prayer in Chicago for the Muslims that bring everybody together soon,” Durk wrote. “Pride to the side, then after [getting problems] off they chest, help the petty beef go away. Private location.”
Beyond his call for prayer, Lil Durk also shared his thoughts on the current state of Hip-Hop, lamenting its lack of “fun.” He praised the rising prominence of female rappers and encouraged the industry to recapture its joyful essence.
“Make Hip-Hop fun again,” he urged. “We understand that everybody got money but let’s f**k em up like we was just doing. [Shoutout] the females who been working, salute. Keep going.”
The Chicago native also announced a shift in his musical approach, stating he would move away from releasing lengthy albums. “I’m going back to 13 songs an album, y’all can have that 20+ song album,” he declared.
Lil Durk’s sentiments echo those of Bobby Shmurda, who recently expressed a desire to distance himself from the rap industry. In an interview with The Danza Project podcast, Shmurda criticized the negаtive influence of current rap music on youth, calling for a return to messages of positivity and growth.
“These kids are following you guys, and you’re rapping about these f**king lifestyles… and it’s very dangerous to the communities. These little kids think that’s going on, and you didn’t even live it,” Shmurda asserted.
“Rap is supposed to be telling muthaf**kas to go from negаtive to positive, coming from poverty to go to riches… and how to stay in that and how to change. That’s the sh*t that I want to hear. I wanna hear about living life… I don’t know nothing about no rappers… Only time I listen to rap is when I’m in the club.”
Lil Durk’s call for peace and his reflections on Hip-Hop highlight a growing desire among artists to use their platforms for positive change and to bring back the joy and authenticity in music.
