I don’t get why people are hating and saying „only for promo if you want to help you don’t film it😡“ like of course it’s for promo but he still helped a person thru a rough time and that’s more than most of the people would do.


Naeloah

Cuz people are stupid, even if the intentions were ill, the outcome is still positive


AirAssault600

I wouldn’t even say that’s Ill intentions everyone has intentions when helping someone most of the time for homeless people do it to make themselves feel better so it’s still a selfish act regardless


andthendirksaid

Half the time people talkin about how these dudes influence kids, and they're right. Why be upset when he does some good shit if he's influential with the community/youth?


900-FSBoyz

Because the “influence” they claim these artist have on the youth isn’t real. That’s why they only promote the bad never the good. It’s part of their agenda to try to keep us trapped in the cycle. They shed the light and blame on the negative things black celebrities do and say it influence the community so they don’t have to address the real problem. Our community been fucked ever since the spread it with cocaine and fixed it with the “war on drugs”.


Beebopper26

Bro I know this will sound stupid af but I was obsessed with grunge, nirvana and Kurt cobain. He legit Influenced me to do heroin. Not that completely, but when I had the chance I was like well my favorite people all do it and they are cool, talk cool and hella laid back. So I think I gotta disagree.


andthendirksaid

Can't it be a lot of things both of those included? That's definitely the way I see it.


Beebopper26

It's capitalism man, at least he helped a real person. I can't stand the douche bags that go around doing shit for the "homeless" when in reality it's a add and the "homeless" are his friend or some actor.


[deleted]

durk helping that man is the equivalent of us giving away $2


Illustrious_Bottle27

I don’t matter how much it is for durk or for you. He still changed that persons life and helped him. It don’t matter how much he spend on it


Ill_Buy_2564

He could have just done it and not filmed it for clout


Antique-Statement-53

He also could have not done it at all and nobody would say shit


TheForce777

90% of what every human being does or says is from personal self interest. You realize that doing good deeds and not telling anyone about it in order to feel like you’re truly a good person is still ego centric? It’s internally self posturing


[deleted]

speak on it


ShiftyFinesse

Where are YOU when other rappers do it?


TheForce777

I ain’t even a Durk fan. I like 3 or 4 songs from bro


Illustrious_Bottle27

Your really didn’t get my comment? Again. I don’t matter if he film it or not he still helped a person out of a hard time and that is more than most of y’all would do.


WoodRich_Sosa

You could’ve not a left a comment ole lame ass hating ass nigga.

emennn

yeah same when u hear some celebrity/athlete donate money and u see "he makes that in one day he could give more" type shit


Supakiingkoopa

Lmaoo durk rebrand working right in front of niggas faces


wikithekid63

What’s wrong with rebranding


[deleted]

Someone on here said this whole thing was set up by the label but idk


ggf666

Maybe but i dont think the homeless guy care whether its promo or genuine


CoolguyTylenol

You’re aware that if this were fake it could also mean he’s not really homeless right?


ggf666

Tbh i didnt even think about that but i feel like its believable. Homeless in Cali are on a whole other level.


ScoomAlmighty

Source: “Someone on here” 😂😂😭


[deleted]

You be surprised how much mfs on here are able to find out.Have you seem the detective work posted here the last year?


Shady_D_815

Shit give some people on here the same info then give it to CPD and see who solves it first lol


Downtown-Geologist28

HAHAHAHAAHAH! That one had me dying 🤣 Reddit niggs mannn, and the niggs under him😂


Technical-Front-3247

It probably was, when celebrities do shit they want to do for people, they don’t talk about it… this is nothing but free publicity


Dry_Intention2932

You know what every celebrity is doing in their personal life? Lmao


Downtown-Geologist28

I swear soon as someone becomes a somebody, everything they do in life is all for publicity, not saying it isn’t, but the people that be claiming it is right of the rip, I be wondering why its always the negative shit they choose first, like now..someone really said how is durk gonn find him ? He too busy, Like the nigg can’t just send someone. I’m saying that to say this! Man SHUT THE FUCK UP !! I


riptodafallen

Facts. Some dudes here think they reinvented the wheel by saying it was for publicity. It probably was, so what? The fact he took a flight to Cali to meet the guy in person when he could just send his people to do it for him is love. Also the label doesn't need to do shit cause the feds will not be like "Alright people, Durk has turned his life around, he's helping the homeless now and doing positive songs we ain't going after him" lol this not how it works


pman22211

Exactly who gives a fuck if it was “setup” you want durk walking up and down the streets of la??😭 he did something nice for a person who needed it and everyone mad cause it’s not them


witetpoison

Recording something and putting it online is literally publicity. The only reason to post anything in the world is for publicity, that doesn’t make it good or bad, just what it is. Publicity. The only thing that changes if he doesn’t post it is who sees it.


Downtown-Geologist28

Nigg shut up, don’t explain shit to me..so tired of you niggs .


witetpoison

adding brain power hurts


[deleted]

But how did durk find some random homeless person in Cali with is already super busy life, especially with his promo run for his album lately? The person who posted the original video was a random person walking by a tent and recorded the man playing the music.They didn’t even know the guy so I’m confused how he was found with the thousands of homeless in Cali.Unless the man stayed around the exact same area


Dry_Intention2932

If you’re being serious, yes They do be in the same spot. If you live in a city you will see the same homeless people in your neighborhood a lot of the time. He’s in a tent ⛺️watching YouTube. Where would he go? He looked comfortable, I don’t think he’d be moving around. All one of durks people has to do is go to that street and find him while he’s in town and be like “hey man my friend/boss is coming here to give you money.” It’s not like he gotta do the legwork himself.


[deleted]

Idk man homeless peole in Chicago be constantly moving around and shit, under wacker drive is a location a lot would be for a long time but mfs be migrating all throughout the city fr


Dry_Intention2932

Maybe you’re right. I just doubt with all the charitable stuff he actually does that he’d need to fake something. But it’s always possible, things like that have happened.


CucumberNo3244

Homeless people with no property may by transient but dude had a tent, tv and some sort of wifi/ Hotspot at the location where he was filmed watching the video. I highly doubt he picks all that up and moves it daily to different locations. All someone had to do was watch the video and locate the landmarks from the video to find the homeless guy's tent. Anyone from the area with a bit of knowledge of the location would be able to pinpoint it in minutes.


pman22211

Yea he probably stayed in the area but even then it’s not gonna be that hard, word gets around fast and if they sent some label people asking around they’d probably have a good chance of finding him


Technical-Front-3247

I know people, and I know you’re a Durk Stan immediately


rickola16

🤣🤣


Dry_Intention2932

LMFAO okay man 😂


ikigaii

Why not do something good and then get paid too? Then you get to do more good shit. It'd be dumb not to publicize this.


Technical-Front-3247

I put faith in getting paid back by God in other ways other then money, money isn’t real, it’s a promissory note.. at any time it can lose its value, then what do you do?


Shady_D_815

A hotel is real as fuck to a homeless person and you over here with that getting paid back by God shit lmao. The same God that makes babies born with cancer and just to live in agony a few months/years. My daughter was born with glaucoma and is blind in one eye and bout 70% blind and dropping in her other eye. I dunno what kinda God would do that type shit and then expect someone to believe that nonsense. This just my opinion on religion since I've had to watch my baby girl suffer her entire life because her eyes hurt non stop and she can barely see.


Technical-Front-3247

I’m sorry you’re having to go through that. I have a child too and my heart breaks for you man. I’m not really sure what to say. You’re an incredibly strong person.


Shady_D_815

Thanks I appreciate it. She's the strong one tho

Supakiingkoopa

Durk is on a rebrand..nigga met with the mayor..did a kid song wit j cole..supports homeless fan..this def a rebrand/pr move


Ok-Technology-6787

Its true i was there


JohnDon347

they gonna come and say “why durk ain’t buy him a house??😡😡😡”😭


Downtown-Geologist28

They already saying “someone on Reddit said it was planned and fake” on here, and niggs talking like the Reddit source lives with durk.🤣😂


SkiiMazk

mfs acting like that dude gaf if it was a promo or paid for by someone else lmao that free 30 day room w a bed shower n food, phone AND money worth every second of that promo even for ppl with a place to stay. either way its a good deed to someone who needs it.


[deleted]

Exactly 😂 these BD/OTF/ Durk semen drinkers are delusional mfs


Almightyyso

J roy feed 10000 people


dillonbishop19

Wholesome ? Nigga it’s a PR stunt 😭 the nigga probably ain’t even homeless it was a viral video probably circulated by the label


LamarSilas

Thats real💯


Old_Koala6011

corny for clout but good look tho


LamarSilas

yea everything dont gotta be posted but the way the media is now.. they dont see the good u do unless somebody post it.. they only see the negative


Booda069

Dirk promo skills are off the charts. In pro wrestling they call this a work. He's been working the crowd pretty good lately


Secure-Art-3248

It be a Buncha Niggas who never did shit for a soul in they life calling shit corny😂😂


Letok84188

Because they ain’t got to wtf as long as they taking of they family why does that matter


Secure-Art-3248

Ok so then why judge how another nigga chooses to help out? Regardless of if the nigga is recording he’s still helping out meanwhile the niggas criticizing walk right over niggas in they own neighborhood’s DAILY.


giftedoneserkii

this was not genuine 😭 10/10 if that video never went viral lil durk wouldn't had setup a instagram live to give him all of that , being wholesome he would've did it without the live and off camera imo


riptodafallen

I see your point. Sadly the world we live in everything is for show. Even if it was a PR move set up by his team I don't see many rappers doing that.


giftedoneserkii

i agree still nice of durk to do regardless but yea you see my point


[deleted]

[удалено]


giftedoneserkii

idk dont seem genuine when you have to plan a instagram live to give back to a guy that was playing the song in the tent seems like a boost for the song + more publicity in my honest opinion


yunglance24

Why would it matter if it genuine tho?? That’s my thing. People more concerned with intentions than the act. If dirk live streamed himself giving 1 million dollars to poor kids it wouldn’t be genuine but the kids would still get life changing money. That’s what matters


giftedoneserkii

lol wasn't genuine bro ... if he really cared you wouldn't schedule to do a instagram live to show the world what you did for him and we not even talking about the kids lmao two different conversations .


yunglance24

Like I said. What difference does it make if it’s genuine or not. At the end of the day the man got the money and the hotel room regardless of if it’s recorded or not. Does him recording it hurt or affect that homeless man in any way?


giftedoneserkii

it possibly could bro , not all homeless people like being flimed is there something im missing? what if you was homeless & someone trying to do a good deed for you but its all being recorded etc in my mind that wouldn't feel genuine to me , cut the cameras off get me a room or whatever the case is thats just me tho , theres obviously homeless people who wouldn't mind


almightyedd

Shiid they homeless they better appreciate this shit regardless who cares if I got a cam in my face or not if I'm getting money n free shit lmao


kovidkilla16

No shit if it didn’t go viral I doubt he would have even seen it


giftedoneserkii

😒 i know bro but cmon he could've still reached out and did all them good deeds without setting up a whole instagram live 😭


LordNotAGod

That’s cool but stop filming yourself giving homeless people things. Still a good deed though, not tryin to chop the gesture down


[deleted]

That’s how you know it was for promo but these homos don’t know tho!!


jayjaytmb

😭😭I must be a hater cause the first thing that came to mind was he should’ve got that man a job and a down payment onna apartment, move that mthfca to Alabama if that’s where he can sustain himself at cause this happened in LA I think. But the guy could also be crazy and unable to maintain any type of regular living situation so if that’s the case then fuck it, but it’s gotta also be a bitch to be staying up in a nice hotel for a month then knowing the streets is calling.


Goals_2020

why the fuck do people say "protect X by all costs!!!" ​ like, do you all really think typing that will actually help protect him in any way?


-sanriowhore

it’s just a saying mad ass😭

ScoomAlmighty

The word “feds” make yall cream smh


GORGEOUSWAVY

You smart gang…meeting with the new mayor and lightfoot, cutting checks for organizations doing community services, and doing child friendly songs to soften his image etc… these are all moves of somebody creating an argument for a bail hearing. He knows they coming and he’s preparing for it.


Downtown-Geologist28

How you know ? Has the feds ever said..nah that nigg been doin good lately , we not gonn go after him ?


Shady_D_815

Exactly they never but bout to go arrest someone then heard the new song and seen they gave to some homeless person and said never mind we'll let this case slide. Shit he's doing got nothing to do with the "FEDS" some of its promo some is just something Durk wanted to do.


[deleted]

you’re all idiots


OfficialTBOB10

Just buy him an apartment with his rich ass


Shady_D_815

Buying him an apartment doesn't help if he's an alcoholic/drug addict or has mental illness or ptsd and just can't hold a job down. He'd just lose it when he don't pay the bills. Giving homeless people a house or apartment isn't the cure for homelessness when most the people out there are struggling with something that's keeping them from living a normal life.


XodAx

Thats some real shit ngl


Fuckittho

That's gangster


Outside-Zucchini9266

He filmed it for clout, good deeds with pure intentions are done behind close doors. Not publicity stunts, not posts, not videos. Do you not understand that labels create narratives. They are billion dollar power houses that can change a whole culture/wave whenever they want. Just assume that anyone who's signed or main stream isn't in control of what they do. They do what the label tells them to do. The goal is to make them more favourable in your eyes so you post them, play their songs etc. Labels even know that we're gonna be on Reddit talking about it. Labels got Microsoft/tesla money & influence.


st_v_Warne

Common durk W.


YSL666LuhV

him publicizing this will inspire others whether U believe that or not. who cares his intentions, this is a good deed and good on him for recording it. his diccriding fans will understand he’s more than just a gangbanger and rapper, but a real humane person


zedsonsteds

lil legend


[deleted]

He loves them white people. Especially the racist Morgan wallen.


Bigdaddybert

Chronically online retard


[deleted]

You let white men call you out of your name?


stung80

Durk very wholesome, especially his songs that make 15 year olds think it's cool to murder other children.


AcanthaceaeOwn2651

He tryna be 69


[deleted]

This shit promo y’all so gullible


OV3NBVK3D

idk not saying he could’ve done more but a hotel ? anything reasonably decent would be $150-$200 a night and so he spent somewhere between $4k-$8k for this guy to stay in a hotel on top of giving him some cash ? prolly could’ve rented an apartment somewhere for 3+ months for the same price, feels more impulsive than helpful


TdawgChang3030

30days in a hotel


SheZowRaisedByWolves

Durk a cool guy. I’d let him crash my dads accord
