LIL DURK CLAIMS HE IS BIGGER THAN KANYE WEST IN TRACK WITH LIL ZAY OSAMA
Lil Durk used his words on Lil Zay Osama's new song "Fuck My Cousin Pt. II" to claim he's bigger than Kanye West in some parts of their shared Chicago hometown.
Durk raps near the end of his verse on the track, which was released on Friday (July 29), "Block too hot, we can't post up, we get the hangin' down on Wells/ In the 'Raq, ask the streets, I'm bigger than Yeezy, I'm the G.O.A.T."
Despite the bold assertion, there appears to be no bad blood between the two Chicago rap stars.
Durkio brought Kanye West out for a special guest appearance during his own set after he backed out of his headlining performance at Rolling Loud Miami last weekend.
This was not the first occasion Durk made such a statement. In an interview with Million Dollaz Worth of Game in 2021, he claimed to be bigger than Drake "in the trenches."
"Shit, we bigger than [Drake] in this muthafucka, you know what I mean?" Durk stated during his interview with Gillie Da Kid and Wallo. "We touch people; Drake at a rate that allows him to stay in the fucking house if he so desires."
“But Nah, shout out to him. He touches the youth. That’s one thing about him. He touched us and got us hotter than what the fuck we were. But a lot of people can’t say that, a lot of these muthafuckas don’t even know him; a lot of people he talks to don’t know me.
He added: “I’m in this muthafucka, in the middle of the trenches with a million dollars doing a fucking interview, that’s why.”
Despite Durk's claims, Kanye West and Drake are undeniably bigger artists. Drizzy is currently the most streamed artist in the United States in 2022, according to Chart Data, with 1.4 billion plays across all platforms.
Kanye West's influence is undeniable, but the Yeezy mogul also received his 23rd and 24th Grammy awards last year for Best Melodic Rap Performance and Best Song, tying him with Jay-Z for the most Grammy wins by a Hip Hop artist in history.
Lil Zay Osama's collaboration with Durk comes as he prepares to release his new album Trench Baby 3 on August 12. It comes after 2021's Trench Baby 2, which featured EST Gee, Benny The Butcher, and Sean Kingston. In 2020, he released the first Trench Baby tape, which featured G Herbo, Doe Boy, Jackboy, and Lil Tjay among others.
