Lil Durk has been released from hospital after a week-long stay, which reportedly came after he suffered a severe bout of dehydration and exhaustion.
TMZ was the first to report that the “Pelle Coat” rapper was hospitalized on July 6 after his show in Ohio. Durkio initially thought that the situation was pretty minor but doctors realized there was a bigger issue at hand and ended up admitting him for just over a week.

As a result of his hospitalization, he missed a series of shows, as well as the ESPY Awards. However, he promised his fans that he’d be back soon.
“My fans mean everything to me, you’re the reason why I do this,” he said in a statement to TMZ on Thursday (July 13). “I was looking forward to touching all of my European fans, performing this week(end), attending the ESPYs and more.”

He continued: “But after performing and traveling daily I’ve become severely dehydrated and advised by my doctors not to travel due to exhaustion. Once I get my full energy back, it’s back to business which I’m looking forward to. #StillHealing.”
Fans seemed a bit surprised by the news, as Lil Durk hadn’t even announced that he’d been hospitalized until he’d been released.

The last bit of tour news from the rapper came on June 22, when Morgan Wallen’s One Night at a Time World Tour rolled into Chicago, and the country singer decided to surprise the Wrigley Field crowd by bringing out hometown hero Lil Durk as a special guest.
“This is where I usually step off [the] stage and take a little break, but I’ve got a good buddy in town…he is one of Chicago’s own,” Wallen told the crowd. “Y’all make some noise for my brother Lil Durk!”
The pair would go on to perform their popular collab, “Stand By Me,” much to the enjoyment of the fans in the crowd, as they traded verses back and forth. Wallen returned to Wrigley for one more night before moving on to his next tour stop in Michigan.
Prior to “Stand By Me,” the pair collaborated on another track called “Broadway Girls,” off Durk’s 2022 album 7220. Since then, the two have grown quite close.

In May, Wallen and Durk were spotted decked out in camo as they showed off a fresh new catch they snagged while fishing in Wallen’s hometown of Tennessee.
