T.I. Agrees With Lil Durk’s Stance On Birkin Bags
There has been rising chatter regarding the ultra-luxurious Hermès Birkin bag on social media, with some people claiming that women in rap have deteriorated the value of the rare handbag. Cardi B and Offset have both been loud in their stance on the topic, asserting that Cardi, and other rappers who have flexed their Birkins, are adding value to the purse.
Other people, like T.I. and Lil Durk, would rather never hear about Birkin bags again.
Chiming in on the social media debate, Lil Durk answered whether he would cash out on a $15,000+ handbag for his partner and, while we’re sure he would, he explained that he would rather prioritize the money in different ways.
“I just got her property she ain’t want a Birkin,” wrote the Chicago rapper on Instagram. He, and his girlfriend India Royale, would prefer to watch their money grow via investments instead of just recklessly spending it on a purse.
It seems as though at least one other major rapper agrees, with T.I. co-signing the message on his own page.
“Now…. THIS more like it!!!” wrote the King of the South, who is set to go up against Jeezy on Verzuz next month, on IG. Tip has been commenting on plenty of posts about the Birkin debate, stating over and over that he thinks people should be smarter with their money, learning how to be financially literate, and stop overspending on luxury items that could easily be replaced.

The Real Mack The Knife honors memory and spirit with soulful release “Rio Grande de Loíza”
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” by The Real Mack The Knife is a powerful tribute to Puerto Rico’s history, memory, and sacred spirit. The track transforms nature into something spiritual, intimate, and timeless, inspired by the legendary river and Julia de Burgos’ immortal voice.
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” has an old, alive vibe from the beginning. River water, moonlight, desire, and cultural memory shape a song that seems to rise from the ground. The Real Mack The Knife uses the river as a living, symbolic being, unlike the original work.
Julia de Burgos gives the piece incredible depth. She sees the river as a witness, a mother, a wound, a mirror, and a prayer throughout the song’s emotional landscape. The literary and spiritual connection gives the track a haunting beauty beyond music.
