The American rapper and singer Lil Durk was wounded when a high-pressure smoke exploded on his face, on July 30, 2022, during a live performance at Lollapalooza. The rapper suddenly stopped rapping as his DJ muted the music and asked, "Whoah, you alright, bro? It shot straight up."

Despite the injury and a time when the music was cut to prevent fans from provoking outbursts, Lil Durk returned to the stage only a few moments later. Before he resumed his set, he said, "F**k it, no more smoke, let’s do it,"

Who is Lil Durk?

Durk Derrick Banks, professionally known as Lil Durk, was born on October 19, 1992, in Englewood on the south side of Chicago, Illinois. Durk grew up with many responsibilities at home because his father was incarcerated at the age of seven months old. Banks took his career more seriously after turning into a 17-year-old father. He left Paul Robeson High School to join black scholars, a street gang in Chicago.

Shortly after joining, he entered the criminal justice system and served his sentence in October 2011 for possessing a firearm that had been tampered with its serial number. His first breakthrough was on social media channels like YouTube and Myspace, and he became inclined to be a rapper as his online fan base widened.

Then, in 2011, Durk began considering music as a serious career. He felt rap a full-time career after the release of his two singles, "Sneak Dissin" and "I'ma Hitta," which generally received positive reviews. Lil Durk is today the founder and lead member of the collective and record label 'Only the Family.'
