G Herbo has admitted that he does not know who J Dilla is.

Appearing on The Adam Friedland Show, the Chicago rapper played a game with the host in which he had to pick his favorite between two artists.

At what point, Friedland asks him to pick between J Dilla and Madlib.

Herbo replies: “Um, that was a white question. I don’t… Hey, don’t kill me nobody. Who are they?”

Friedland then joked: “Well, let me tell you about Hip Hop culture. Herb, let me explain to you… No, they’re like two incredible,” before Herbo interjected by saying: “What do they do, though?”

Friedland answered: “Those are the best producers ever.”

In the end, Herbo decided to pick Madlib even though he still did not appear to know who he was.

The Chicago rapper recently found himself hospitalized while battling some pretty serious health issues.

Taking to his Instagram Stories, the Chicago rapper posted a picture of himself in a hospital bed along with the caption: “Y’all be safe out here bro this new flu strand ain’t no joke.”

Herbo did not offer any other details regarding his condition or what symptoms he was dealing with that led to his hospitalization.

According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. has been dealing with its worst flu season in 15 years, with around 25,000 people believed to have died from the disease over the winter months, including over 100 children.

G Herbo has had a difficult time of late having previously revealed that his father passed away last year.

He made the difficult announcement during an appearance on Kai Cenat‘s livestream where he was accompanied by his 6-year-old son Yosohn.

“There’s always light at the end of the tunnel. You know me, personally, I’ve been through a lot. I always overcome adversity. Trial, tribulations — there’s always triumph at the end. You gotta get up, work hard to be better than you were yesterday,” he said.

“I just lost my pops two weeks ago, two-and-a-half weeks ago. I still find a reason to get up and smile, to get up and work, to provide for my family, to be there for my children.”
