Nigerian music superstar Burna Boy has taken to social media to express his solidarity with American rapper Lil Durk, who is currently facing serious legal challenges. In a series of Instagram posts, Burna Boy shared his thoughts on the changing dynamics of street culture and the implications for artists like Durk.

Burna Boy wrote, “The streets ain’t what it used to be. The old rules no longer apply. The way I see it, everybody is a civilian now. No more sliding, just sue your pops to court and take their money.” His comments reflect a shift in how street conflicts are perceived, suggesting that legal avenues are now preferred over traditional retaliatory actions.

In a separate post, Burna Boy cryptically stated, “Free SMURK,” a reference to Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Derrick Banks. The phrase “SMURK” is a nickname for Durk, and this call for his release comes as he is in federal custody, facing accusations of conspiring to kill a rival. 

Lil Durk’s legal troubles have drawn significant media attention, with fans and fellow artists rallying for his support. Burna Boy’s remarks highlight not only his support for Durk but also a broader commentary on the evolving nature of street life and the pressures facing artists in the current climate.

As both artists navigate their respective careers, the music community continues to rally around them, emphasizing the importance of solidarity in challenging times. Fans are eagerly awaiting updates on Durk’s situation and hope for a resolution that allows him to return to making music.
