Lil Durk says that being a Muslim and being in a gang don’t go together: ‘I’ma Be The One Who Say It’
Lil Durk said a lot of things about religion and gangs on social media as a way to try to change how people think of him.
Durk shared a picture on Instagram on August 18 and wrote, “Don’t label me anything other than a MAN, a FATHER, and a 100% Muslim.”After that, he wrote a long message on his IG Story (which you can see here) to try to add to what he had said.
Durkio wrote, “I don’t hit, I’m a Muslim.” “Basically, what I said in my post in so many words, you can’t do both. I’ll say it myself. “So if you follow me as a brother, friend, or hero, come with me as I start a new part of my life.” I talk about what I’ve seen and been through in my music, not telling you to do it. It makes a HUGE difference. The music won’t change, but my life goals will.
Along with gangs and faith, Durk has been thinking about other things lately, such as becoming a dad.This summer, Durk said he was “happy now” while celebrating Father’s Day with all of his kids.
On Monday, June 17, the Chicago artist shared a picture of his family on social media. In it, he is seen with 10 children.He wrote, “Delete that sad Father’s Day song from my library; I’m happy now.”
Durk’s comment about getting rid of “Unhappy Father’s Day” refers to a song from his 1972 album from 2022 that shows he no longer feels that way about the holiday.In “Unhappy Father’s Fay,” Lil Durk talks about how he doesn’t spend enough time with his kids.
He raps on the song, “Father’s Day comes around, I swear to you it feels the worst/ Because when I don’t talk to them in a couple days that stuff feel like a burden/ I be on stage like it’s all good knowin’ deep down it hurtin’.””And they’re asking me for my time, but they ain’t trying to see any purses. And I sent them off so many times that they started telling me to sell it. And that shit is the worst. I don’t feel like a dad on Father’s Day.”
In the chorus, he says, “Tell ’em I’m sorry, forgive me/I’m tryna be they daddy.”
