    Insanity that a government official rewards and praises a person who talks, raps, and glorifies actions and behaviors like that. Shame on you. Talks about the “youth” like he cares, and promotes this. He Couldn’t care less, just says what he thinks you want to hear for him to keep making money. Selfish garbage ass human being for a Mayor. This country is fucked with people like this in power.

      This guys a scumbag no doubt but not for praising someone who seemingly had turned their life around, made it from the absolute bottom to the top and wanted to give back to the community. It’s not like these charges were known at the time nor proven at this moment so I wouldn’t fault him for that though I’m sure it’s purely financial but if Durk had never been busted for this, he was setting a pretty good example recently. People keep saying he glorified street life but for a while now all I hear in his songs is remorse, regret, loss, talking sense to his people and actually wanting to be done with the streets entirely. This whole situation is sad, not pathetic and certainly not funny like all these clowns on here think

    You’re not Malcom X. You should be advocating for ALL Chicagoans. Even those who do not agree with you.

    Let me help you mayor. "Lil Durk is a young man who grew up in trauma in the South Side of Chicago and is seeking to change his life. We accepted a donation from him, and will keep the donation until we know if he is innocent or guilty. If he is found guilty, my office will not be associated with anyone convicted of the crimes that he is charged with, and the funds will be returned. Youre welcome.

  • @tf7622
    @tf7622 3 месяца назад

    Yeah I get you don't want to pass judgement on him, plus it seems as if he has a personal relationship with him whether it's professional or personal. Remember, Durk had the last two mayors in his corner and they showed favoritism when it came to him but when Duck was killed, they labeled him as a gang member or leader with no proof that he was a part of no killing or serious violence. It seems like every situation Durk was in, everyone except him was to blame. But as they do regularly in federal cases and state, when it involves a gang who has access to lucrative earnings as a result of being signed and being a successful artist or company, they go after the main person who supplies and generates the finances. Because they know that all they have to do is lift a finger or make propositions, and whatever they need done will be done without them actually doing it themselves. But as a state official who in conjunction works with federal officials and authorities, it would seem that yes you would personally return or give the money to a charity or good use not keep it or protect it because it came as a donation for your political campaign. Even when his associates were brought up in regards to other cases, I don't think it was a wise decision to accept it, unless you are willing to go all the way through this in support of Durk. To be honest, and I may be wrong, it seems awkward and like a classic case of bribery so maybe the city would have a little favoritism when it comes to putting Durk under a microscope or any local investigations.
