Lil Durk allegedly turned down a $200,000 offer from a weed company. According to an Instagram story posted by the rapper, the company wanted him to make a post about them. "Turn $200k down for a weed post," Durk said on his story. "I rather promote my brother weed first." That amount of money is nothing to sneer at, so it's surprising that the rapper would turn it down. However, it seems his loyalty to his friends takes precedence, which is admirable. Some in the comments, however, chastised him for the decision.
"Real homies would take that 200k and invest it in your Bro’s company," one comment said of Lil Durk's decision. It is worth noting that Lil Durk does frequently invest in his community. In fact, he recently donated $350,000 to Howard University in the form of scholarships and grants. Others that commented on the post, however, think he did it just for the bragging rights. "Ngas just be doing sh*t to say they did it," the user said.
