Lil Durk is a hot topic in the world of hip-hop this weekend. Not only did the Chicago native share his highly anticipated Almost Healed album today (May 26), but he's also been doing some press to promote the 21-track effort. Earlier in the week he spoke with DJ Akademiks on the media personality's Off the Record podcast, during which he discussed the late King Von, the YSL RICO trial, and his latest work, among other things. While Durkio made it abundantly clear that he believes Gunna snitched on his co-defendants, he simultaneously showed plenty of love to Young Thug.
"If you a rat, I f*cking hate you. Because I love Thug," the father of six told Ak amid his rant about Gunna. Elsewhere, the host brought up the famous photo from 2018 in which Durk watches on in amazement while the So Much Fun hitmaker seriously works on the computer in front of them during a studio session. "What the f*ck was y’all looking at?" Akademiks asked his guest.

Smurk responded, "He told me not to tell nobody." To this, the embattled blogger cracked a joke, "That’s the same thing he said. Y’all must have been watching some porn." Rather than deny the rumours, the 7220 artist pointed out that it's clear that he and Thugger have a seriously strong bond. "That’s how you know we won’t snitch on each other," Durk declared.
As HipHopDX notes, the multi-talent publicly spoke about the photo in 2020, tweeting that the YSL leader "showed him $20 million." The pair has made plenty of magic in the studio together before with Young Thug helping out with two tracks on his pal's 2016 I'm Up project.
