COLUMBUS, OHIO: Rapper Lil Durk was hospitalized for a week due to extreme exhaustion and dehydration. According to TMZ, the 30-year-old rapper was admitted to a hospital in Ohio on July 6 after falling sick. Sources said that he went to the hospital as a precaution, but the doctors informed him that the situation was more serious than he had initially thought and that he needed to be admitted.

In 2022, Durk had an onstage accident due to a firework during Lollapalooza in Chicago. He was seen receiving medical care while a bandage covered his right eye. According to Variety, the rapper accidentally made contact with two pyrotechnic smoke flares while performing his song 'Back In Blood'.

Is Lil Durk OK?

Durk is recovering after a week in the hospital for exhaustion and dehydration. He was forced to postpone several gigs around Europe and miss the ESPY Awards in Los Angeles.

In a statement to TMZ, Durk stated, "My fans mean everything to me, you’re the reason why I do this. I was looking forward to touching all of my European fans, performing this week(end), attending the ESPYs and more but after performing and traveling daily I’ve become severely dehydrated and advised by my doctors not to travel due to exhaustion. Once I get my full energy back, it’s back to business which I’m looking forward to. #StillHealing."
