Lil Durk takes a stance against "Clubhouse gangsters."

The explosive ascent of Clubhouse transformed the pandemic. At a time when everyone was locked into their homes, the then-exclusive social media app provided plenty of entertainment. Artists would hop on there to host rooms, which sometimes led to heated verbal altercations. While Clubhouse’s momentum surely died down since then, it continues to breed plenty of discussions. It could be Wack 100 chiming in on current affairs within the hip-hop world or 21 Savage’s controversial comments deeming legends like Nasirrelevant” on the platform.

Clubhouse remains a platform where street-oriented artists and guys from the streets can hash out their differences. We witnessed Roddy Ricch go off on a man for claiming that he was false flagging. During the conversation, Roddy Ricch unleashed a rare outburst of fury. And while these moments can make hilarious audio bites, it undoubtedly ruffles a few features, like Lil Durk, who appeared to take issue with some comments recently made on Clubhouse.

Lil Durk Speaks

Though Lil Durk doesn’t join the conversations on Clubhouse, his name is often brought up. For example, OTF artists like Memo 600 have appeared on the platform to talk their ish and simultaneously mentioned Lil Durk. However, that doesn’t seem to be the issue. Durk’s apparent grievances lie within the individuals who speak about issues in the streets during online conversations. It’s no secret that authorities frequent social media platforms like Clubhouse to find leads, which appears to be the root of Durk’s issues. “Club house gangsters messing it up for the one who want to stay free #THEVOICE,” he captioned his post. 

Though it remains unclear who is was talking about, Wack 100 suggested that Lil Durk might have targeted 21 Savage. Wack theorized that 21 Savage’s heated debate with a person from Chicago led to Durk’s commentary. In the widely ciruclated audio bite, Savage said, “You keep letting all these Chicago n***as boost your head up, like y’all n***as ain’t dying in real life, man. Stop playing...every n***a that we beef with, 30 of they n***as get smoked and don’t nothing happen to us.”  Though Durk never confirmed whether 21 Savage was the target of his online tirade, Wack 100 certainly believes that might be the case.
