The Chicago native managed to continue his performance, however, yelling to the crowd, “Who wants smoke?” before launching into a performance of his Nardo Wick collaboration “Who Want Smoke??,” released in 2021.
Durk iscurrently engaged to longtime girlfriendIndia Royale. In December 2021, he popped the question onstage during a concert in his hometown.
He first serenaded his bride-to-be with 2018’s “India Pt. II” as she joined him onstage at the United Center, where he was performing as part of the 107.5 WGCI Big Jam.
As the model and influencer turned away, Durk got down on one knee and held out a ring box.
