Lil Durk was injured when he took the stage at Chicago's Lollapalooza festival on Saturday (July 30). The rapper was hit in the face with explosives which prompted him to stop his performance for a moment, via Hot New Hip Hop.
In the video footage of the incident, Durk is seen getting struck directly with the explosives and covering his face with his t-shirt as the smoke reaches him. He quickly stops performing and someone asks him on the microphone "Woah, woah- you alright bro?" Durk doesn't respond so the person continues explaining the incident saying, "It shot straight up." Eventually, Durk pulls himself together and continues his set regardless, telling the audience "F**k it, no more smoke, let's do it."
On Sunday (July 31), Durk shared a photo of himself to Instagram showcasing the aftermath of the incident. The "What Happened To Virgil" rapper is seen in the hospital with an eye bandage. "Due to the incident that happened at Lollapalooza in Chicago on stage, I’ma take a break & focus on my health," he wrote in the caption. "I finished my performance yesterday for my fans. Appreciate y’all 💙."
