A little over a month after the release of his eighth studio album Almost Healed, which sold 125,000 units in its first week, Lil Durk experienced a setback with his physical health. On July 6, the Chicago rapper was admitted to a hospital after he felt a bit unwell while visiting Ohio.
Upon arrival, medical professionals soon realized Durk was suffering from a serious case of dehydration and exhaustion. This was likely due to his busy schedule in recent weeks from promoting his new LP. After being treated for nearly a week, Durk was ultimately released from the hospital on Wednesday (July 12), according to TMZ. Now, looking to get some much-needed rest, Durk has cleared his schedule for the foreseeable future.
“My fans mean everything to me, you’re the reason why I do this,” Durk said in a statement given to TMZ Hip Hop. “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.”
Chicago-born rapper Lil Durk’s rise to fame has been nothing short of an emotional rollercoaster. Although Durk has gained massive popularity across the globe, his success didn’t come without challenges. From his legal troubles to the deaths of his cousin, manager, brother, and labelmate, King Von, the chart-topping recording artist hasn’t exactly had it easy. (Distractify.com)
