According to XXL, Durk shared a statement saying that his fans are his priority and that they are the reason why he loves to work more. He further stated:

"I was looking forward to touching all of my European fans, performing this week(end), attending the ESPYs and more but after performing and traveling daily I've become severely dehydrated and advised by my doctors not to travel due to exhaustion. Once I get my full energy back, it's back to business which I'm looking forward to. #StillHealing."
