Lil Durk is doing his part for the community by helping out victims of Hurricane Milton, which has ripped through parts of Florida in recent days.

Posting on his Instagram Stories, the Chicago rapper offered support to anybody in Florida that has been affected by the devastating storm, which has reportedly killed at least 14 people, though more are expected.

He wrote: “Me and my team @neighborhoodheroesfoundation want to put focus on the tragic situation in the Florida areas we want to be ahead of everything and we planning to get water and food together for the aftermath of the hurricane inshallah. We will keep everybody in our Dua.”

While Durk is putting his resources to good use, not everybody in Hip Hop has been as sensible regarding the hurricane.

Dame Dash recently admitted that he did not want to evacuate his family from their Florida home because he was concerned he would be perceived as “soft.”

“We were like, ‘Alright, we’re gonna try to grind it out and stay,’” he said on Instagram Live. “Because none of our neighbors were leaving and the people that we know that are from Florida, it kinda seemed like we were soft if we were leaving — pause.”

Fortunately, the Roc-A-Fella co-founder and his family eventually decided it was best for them to flee to safety after understanding the severity of the storm.

“[We asked ourselves], Who wants to be uncomfortable? Plus, with a baby and four dogs,” he added, filming himself in transit on a luxury bus next to his young son Dusko.

 

“I started stressing a little and [Dame’s artist] Nicolette and all the people that were calling. Finally, we were like, ‘Yo, let’s just get up out of here.’

“We got a place to go. If you live in a place where natural disasters happen, like hurricanes, like once a year, you gotta have a hurricane house to go to. So we know where we’re going amongst family and all that.”

He signed off: “But I’m sick of this shit, I ain’t gonna hold you.”

Hurricane Milton has caused widespread destruction across sections of Florida, with some calling it the worst storm to hit the state in a century.

Millions of people have been left without power and rescue operations are currently underway.
