Did Lil Durk know Virgil Abloh?

“Life is so short that you can’t waste even a day subscribing to what someone thinks you can do versus knowing what you can do.” The words belong to Lil Durk’s close friend Virgil Abloh, the fashion powerhouse behind the brand Off-White who passed away from cancer in November of 2021.

What is happening with Off-White?

Going forward, New Guards will continue to oversee design, production, marketing, and sales for Off-White through at least 2026. But as part of his deal with LVMH, Abloh ceded a majority stake — 60 percent — of the Off-White brand, including the right to its name.
