Lil Durk Speaks on Tense Club Face-off w/ Game
Lil Durk chopped it up with VladTV recently about the tense face-off between him and Game inside of an L.A. nightclub that luckily didn't erupt in violence.
Durk detailed how there was tension in the air between the two crews, and they just decided to meet in the middle of the club and see where things would go. He chalked it up to "street politics," which eventually led to the two star rappers squashing their issues with one another over the phone later on.
Durk continued to discuss the ongoing violence that plagues the Chicago streets, and while Durk did acknowledge that things are still out of control in certain areas, the city is still a great place to be depending on what part you're in.
