Lil Durk is stepping up to assist those impacted by Hurricane Milton. On October 9, the Chicago rapper announced that his Neighborhood Heroes Foundation will be sending food and water supplies to Florida as part of recovery efforts. He expressed his commitment via an Instagram Story, stating, “Me and my team [at Neighborhood Heroes Foundation] want to put [a] focus on the tragic situation in the Florida areas. We want to be ahead of everything, and we [are] planning to get water and food together for the aftermath of the hurricane. Inshallah. We will keep everybody in our dua.”
Hurricane Milton has caused significant devastation, leaving over 3.2 million homes and businesses without power and resulting in at least 14 fatalities, according to reports. The storm also spawned several tornadoes and led to severe flooding in various areas, with Plant City’s city manager noting unprecedented flood levels and emergency crews rescuing numerous residents[1][2][4]. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis indicated that the full extent of the damage would become clearer as recovery efforts progressed.
The Neighborhood Heroes Foundation, founded by Durk in 2020, aims to empower individuals in under-resourced neighborhoods. Their mission focuses on collaboration with local heroes making positive changes in their communities.
In addition to his philanthropic efforts, Lil Durk is set to release his upcoming album, Deep Thoughts, on October 18. The album features a 17-song tracklist that includes collaborations and previously released singles like “Turn Up A Notch” and “Monitoring Me.”
