Lil Durk’s healing up after Lollapalooza
LD hit up his Instagram page to reveal what’s next for him after suffering an eye injury at this past weekend’s music festival. The Chi-Town native vowed to allow his body to revamp after getting hit with pyrotechnic on-stage.
“Due to the incident that happened at Lollapalooza in Chicago on stage, I’ma take a break & focus on my health. I finished my performance yesterday for my fans. Appreciate y’all 💙”
Lil Durk really didn’t want the smoke
Over the weekend, footage surfaced of Durk’s on-stage incident. The clips showed him suffering face injuries after dealing with explosives and Billboard has more details on what exactly went down.
In a fan-captured video of the incident, Lil Durk is seen walking across the stage before being struck directly in the face by powerful bursts of smoke. The music then cuts off as the rapper takes a few steps backward and covers his face with his white T-shirt.
“Woah, woah, you alright, bro? That one came a little close. It shot straight up,” a person from the stage is heard saying in reference tp the blast.
Lil Durk took a few moments to collect himself before continuing his performance. “F— it, no more smoke, let’s do it,” he told the packed crowd, according to Page Six.
