Lil Durk suffered a minor injury while mid-set at the annual Lollapalooza festival in Chicago on Saturday (July 30).
In footage from the performance, the platinum-selling rapper is seen casually strolling across the stage when he walks right into two onstage explosions.
White smoke appears to flood his eyes and he stumbles back using his t-shirt to quell the sting. He’s asked if he’s OK and just seconds later, he’s back on the mic and ready to rock for the anxious crowd.

Saturday marked day three of Lollapalooza at Grant Park. Other performers included Blxst, YG, Big Sean and J. Cole, who were scattered across various stages throughout the day. As for Sunday (July 31), Erica Banks, The Kid LAROI, Denzel Curry and Yung Nudy are among the rap acts booked for the festival’s closing day.
Lil Baby, Sampha The Great, Maxo Kream, Cordae and Machine Gun Kelly were also on deck for the four-day extravaganza. In fact, Cordae decided to have a little fun with his fans and show up with a fake beard, leaving many of his fans scratching their heads.

The DMV rapper showed up on Friday (July 29) to perform at the festival for the first time since 2019 with mutton chops and a full beard closely resembling Wolverine from Marvel’s X-Men series. He later posted the look to Instagram with the caption, “Lollapalooza was Love. New music otw!”
In other Lil Durk news, the rapper used his verse on Lil Zay Osama’s new track “Fuck My Cousin Pt. II” to claim he’s bigger than Kanye West in certain areas of their shared Chicago hometown.

Towards the end of his verse on the track which arrived Friday (July 29), Durk raps: “Block too hot, we can’t post up, we get the hangin’ down on Wells/ In the ‘Raq, ask the streets, I’m bigger than Yeezy, I’m the G.O.A.T. (Bigger than Yeezy).”
Despite the bold statement, there definitely seems to be no bad blood between the two Chicago rap stars.
