American rapper and singer Lil Durk suffered an injury at the Lollapalooza festival when shots of smoke hit his face during his performance. While Lil Durk was performing on stage, a smoke cannon went off and hit Durk directly in the face. He tried to cover his face with his T-shirt, as the music cut off.
A DJ on the mic addressed the smoke and said:
“Woah, woah, you alright, bro? It shot straight up.”
After taking a few moments to adjust to his momentary blindness, Durk responded
“F*ck it, no more smoke, let’s do it.”

“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.”
