Lil Durk recently sat down for an exclusive interview with VladTV, where he reflects on what his background of Chicago has taken away from him. Coming from Chicago Lil Durk carries that label everywhere he goes and it does cost him. The Chiraq rapper revealed that he has lost up to $30,000 in show money because they have been shut down. Hit the jump to read more of the interview.

“When people tell me I’m a child I look at them like, ‘I’m on my feet more than you, better than you. Not money wise but my mind wise’,” the rapper said. “N*ggas be older than me and don’t be having sh*t. But they like shoes and sh*t; I’m tryna get a business going.”

“I don’t want them to see no street sh*t, no violence, no none of that,” he said of his three young children. “I’m taking them to a whole nother world.”

As much as he wants to disconnect himself from Chi-town’s violent aura, it seems as if city officials largely hold Durk and drill music accountable for affecting the youth: Lil Durk concerts in Chicago are repeatedly shut down due to fear of violence.

“If they do something, they blaming me. If I do something, they blaming them,” Durk said of the bad rap he and fellow Chicago artists get. “When I say, ‘I terrify ’em’, I terrify ’em in my eyes cause that’s how it is. If you stopping my shows basically you terrified of what’s gonna happen. I’ve missed out on $30,000 f*cking around.”
