Everyone needs a little therapy, and Lil Durk — who lost his friend and frequent collaborator King Von in 2020 and his brother DThang in 2021, and whose long-running beef with YoungBoy Never Broke Again (partly related to Von’s murder) has been all over the internet again this month — is certainly no exception.

“Remember that you don’t have to go through this alone. I’m here to listen. You have the voice in this room.
