Lil Durk took home his first Grammy Award on Sunday (February 4). While at the Los Angeles-set event, the OTF crew leader discussed his desire to make music with 32-time Grammy winner Beyoncé.
“All My Life” featuring J. Cole earned Durk a 2024 Grammy for Best Melodic Rap Performance. That Dr. Luke-produced track won over Burna Boy’s “Sittin’ on Top of the World,” Doja Cat’s “Attention,” Drake & 21 Savage’s “Spin Bout U” and SZA’s “Low.”
Billboard interviewed Lil Durk on Grammy Awards night. When asked which artists he would like to work with in the future, the 31-year-old rapper said, “Yeah, it’s a few. But I gotta go see Beyoncé one day. Got to.”
In 2015, Lil Durk dropped the “My Beyoncé” single with Detroit-raised recording artist Dej Loaf as a guest feature. An official music video for the platinum-certified collaboration premiered on YouTube in January 2016.
Durk’s catalog also includes songs with Ty Dolla $ign, Future, Jeezy, Meek Mill, G Herbo, Latto, Cardi B, Kanye West, Coi Leray, Drake, Chris Brown and others. The Chicago-born performer partnered with Lil Baby for the chart-topping The Voice of the Heroes collaborative project.
In addition to wanting to create tunes with the Renaissance album creator, Lil Durk has expressed his admiration for Beyoncé’s Grammy-winning husband, Jay-Z. For example, the midwesterner declared himself “The Chicago Jay-Z” in 2021.
