Rick Ross Calls Out Lil Durk’s Legal Woes While Urging Youth to Choose a Different Path
Rick Ross is known for his messages about hard work and making money, but recently, he took a moment to highlight an important lesson using the situation of fellow rapper Lil Durk, who is facing serious legal troubles in a murder for hire case. Although Ross and Durk don’t work together much, both share similar stories about overcoming difficult beginnings to succeed in music. In a recent Instagram post, Ross spoke directly to his fans, mixing wisdom with tough love.
He started by questioning how many people chanted “Free Lil Durk” at a recent concert, encouraging his followers to think about the bigger picture. He then urged young people to consider more legitimate ways to make a living instead of committing crimes. He suggested learning valuable skills like roofing, plumbing, or flooring, pointing out that these trades can generate significant income. Ross expressed disappointment at the lack of Black men in high paying jobs like real estate or construction, emphasizing that there is a lot of money to be made outside of illegal activities.
His main message is that if fans can support Durk, they should also reflect on the repeated struggles many face and think about breaking the cycle. Some may feel that Ross’s point about Durk’s situation was a bit harsh, but his goal seems to inspire the younger generation to consider their futures carefully. Rick Ross understands that while street life might be tempting, there are many ways to achieve success and build a future without risking one’s freedom. Whether or not Lil Durk agrees with this advice is uncertain, Rick Ross is stepping up as a mentor, using his platform to guide others, even if his messages spark some debate.

The song feels real because it doesn’t have a lot of extra stuff in it. You’re not hearing a heavily constructed persona; you’re hearing someone at the start of a journey, eager to make their mark.
