Lil Durk is giving back during the global pandemic surrounding COVID-19. Back in his native Chicago, Durk donated free meals to health care workers on Friday (April 24).
With the help of PHLAVZ, Durk and his team visited Chicago’s Rush Hospital and donated meals to those individuals on the frontlines dealing with the deadly virus.
“I been living down in Atlanta, but everyone back home has been in my thoughts, especially those doing something for the community and all the neighborhood heroes,” Durk told HipHopDX. “I thought about all the first responders putting their lives on the line to help out and it inspired me, so I took a jet back to Chicago to show my thanks.”
The “All Love” rapper added, “We partnered up with PHLAVZ and bought 100 meals to donate to the Rush University Medical Center to show love and inspire our community to be strong and help one another out through these times.”
Additionally, PHLAVZ came back later in the day to donate 100 additional meals to health care workers for pickup later that night.
Durk’s generosity joins a long list of celebrities who have been giving back to their communities in the midst of COVID-19 gripping the country.
Eminem donated food to health care workers earlier this week with a nod to his famous “Mom’s Spaghetti” line from “Lose Yourself.” He also launched the “Love Your DJ” contest for Motor City DJs that will provide his own stimulus payments and a chance to have their music played on Shade 45.

In Houston, Slim Thug donated hand sanitizer to METRO bus drivers and police after he fell ill due to COVID-19. Others such as Ja Rule, Cardi B and Rihanna have made their voices heard in supporting those on the frontlines with various donations in regards to personal protective equipment, food and more.
I guess “social distancing” doesn’t apply to these people?
Those people are fucking morons. You’re not supposed to be that close, even with your mask and gloves. Why isnt he in jail? Didn’t he get arrested for an attempted murder in the last year?
Real people donate without having to plaster it all over social media looking for that pat on the back they want from they peers. Robin Williams donated tons to different charities and never said anything about it. People only found out after his death. He genuinely cares from the bottom of his heart. Not like clowns like this who have to tell everyone about because they looking for praise. This dude is a massive hypocrite anyway, always rapping about murders and bodies.
Lol @ the fat dude who wears a mask but pulls it down so he can breathe better….smfh lmaooooo
He got the mask on his fat chin. And FYI thosemasks dont work if you have a beard.
You supposed to stay at home. You could have had the food sent over on your behalf and not put them all at risk. Dude really said he hopped on a jet during a national pandemic to deliver a few sandwiches and take group pictures. Meanwhile Durk and his gang member friends are responsible for countless gun violence victims being sent to the same hospital.
That’s when you know you’re going something right…being positive to get so much negativity!!!
