Born on October 19, 1992 as Durk Derrick Banks, he now takes on the stage name Lil Durk. He had a rough childhood and faced a lot of responsibilities at home since his father got incarcerated when he was just a baby. In some interviews, Durk recalls that there were days where he and his family did not have enough to eat.
When he was a bit older, he dabbled on music and first got his shot to fame through social websites like MySpace and YouTube. He took his career more seriously when he became a father at the very young age of 17. He dropped out of high school and joined a street gang where he eventually got in trouble with the law.
It is quite easy to understand why Lil Durk somehow wound up on the wrong side of the fence when he was in his teens, but at least now, he is trying his best to support his six children. Let us get to know them more.
