The rumors began after fans pointed out that they stopped following each other on the 'Gram. However, what made it worse was a slew of cryptic tweets Durk sent out into the world. One picture was captioned, "Never cared," while another post read, "Chase who yea ok." In the following tweet, he wrote, "Them Lil n***as ain’t big dawgs they tricking you." That's when fans suspected that they broke up.

As fans began speculating over Durk's relationship status, the rapper made it clear that he and India Royale are going strong. In fact, he seemed caught off-guard by the internet chatter.
