Lil Durk’s latest merchandise release has set off a heated debate among fans, as many criticize the rapper’s team for what they see as overpriced items aimed at supporting him during his legal troubles.
Currently behind bars facing murder-for-hire allegations and denied bail, Durk’s team launched a line of “Free Durk” apparel to rally support and raise funds. The collection features T-shirts priced at $45 and hoodies at $95, both bearing the slogan “Free Durk.”
However, the price tags have left fans divided, with some accusing the rapper’s team of taking advantage of his supporters.
One frustrated fan wrote, “$95 for a hoodie likely made in China? That’s wild.” Another sarcastically added, “Should tack on another 10 years for these ridiculous prices.”
Not everyone saw the humor in the situation, as one user bluntly commented, “Nobody’s buying that. Keep him locked up.”
As the controversy continues, it’s clear that the merchandise rollout isn’t resonating as intended. Whether fans will back Durk through these purchases or boycott the line remains to be seen, but the conversation has already put a spotlight on the delicate balance between fandom and exploitation.
