Alleged serial killer-turned-rapper Lil Durk is inspiring gang bangers to give their lives to Jesus.
The Chicago rapper, real name Durk Banks, 31, recently converted to Islam and denounced gang life.
Durk’s history as a member of a violent Chicago street gang is well-known. However, in 2019 he moved to Atlanta to distance himself from the gang life.
“Don’t label me nothing outside of A MAN A FATHER and A 1000% Muslim – THE VOICE,” he wrote in a post on Instagram.
“I don’t gangbang I’m a Muslim,” the Grammy award-winning artist wrote. “Basically what I was saying on my post in so many words you can’t do both ima be the one who say it.”
“So if you follow me as a brother, a friend, an icon, follow me to my new chapter of life,” he added. “When I make music | rap what I seen and been through not telling you to go do it HUGE difference the music won’t change but my life goals will.”
Lil Durk has inspired other gangbangers to give up the streets and turn to God.

Time will tell if Durk is really a changed man. There is a rumor that Durk is facing RICO charges.
Behind all that toughness, these guys got so much pain and hurt in them ?????
