Yet another under-30 rap star is claiming to have secured an 8-figure bag from a record company. Following Trippie Redd’s $30 million declaration earlier this month, Lil Durk says he is making an even higher amount.
On Sunday night, Lil Durk took to Twitter to inform his 6 million followers about a supposed $40 million deal. The 29-year-old Chicago native did not provide very many details about his alleged haul.
“My label gave me 40 million let’s talk bout it,” tweeted Lil Durk. That March 12 post collected more than 1,600 replies, 4,700 retweets, and 52,000 likes.
