After gifting the school $350,000 in scholarships and grants, the Chicago MC gave community members a great time while asking for relationship advice.

Lil Durk recently donated $350,000 to Howard University in the form of scholarships and grants, and also participated in their 2023 Springfest to give fans and community members a great time. Not only did he directly give the institution $250,000 for grants funds, but he gave $50,000 each to two Chicago students to attend Howard on a scholarship. During his performance, he seemed to really engage the crowd with his energy, his slew of hit tracks, and the intimate setting. However, the Chicago MC also had to ask his crowd for relationship advice.

"If y'all want me to get back with India, say hell yeah!" he proclaimed, and the crowd screamed in turn. Moreover, Durk and India have quite the history and seem to be on relatively good terms even despite Smurk's persistence. After a suggestive IG Live where they seemed to laugh together and where Durk held a mystery woman's hand, many think that they're back together. However, given their unclear back-and-forths prior to this development, fans can't really be too sure. After all, this is the man who said "that p***y's mine forever."

Lil Durk Longs For India Royale At Howard University

Still, Lil Durk clearly still cares a lot for India Royale, as evidenced by his birthday message for her earlier this year. "Let me just look crazy cause GM y’all,” he wrote on Instagram. “She not dumb or justot her money on her own even after I went broke she help me… Watch my page all day ima give the street and relationship some tips later from the voice. Not the people who post drama only it’s f***ed up on my end not hers.

Back when she was back pregnant willow in the belly aka fat ma.

"So I ain’t perfect but I’m for you and I love you,” he continued. “And I’m all ears when ever we get back in a relationship. You saved my life with you and willow and big sky outside all my kids you was there ripthang. This real s**t don’t attack her she definitely the best in the world trust me.
