Lil Durk Gift Unhoused Fan Hotel Stay & More to support music
Lil Durk recently devoted himself to an act of “supporting the person who supports you.” The “Almost Healed” rapper ran into an unknown man named Pedrobring gifts for fans’ love.
Pedro went viral after a TikTok user uploaded a video of him playing Durk’s “All My Life” video inside his sidewalk tent. In the 10-second clip, the recorder says: “Oh, the homeless have projectors here.” The video shows Pedro’s shadow near the entrance to the tent.

The first time online users saw Pedro’s face was when he interacted with Durk. After informing Pedro that he had booked him a hotel stay and extra gifts, the rapper asked his permission to put him on camera.
“Look, I gave you a room for 30 days. I’ll give you a few dollars, I’ll give you a gift card and I’ll give you a phone to show your support,” Durk told Pedro. “Here’s the room key, you don’t have to say out loud the room key, a few dollars, the phone, the gift card, everything. Appreciate you.”
Durk followed up by asking, “Want to be seen?” Pedro replied, “Sure, I didn’t trip,” and Durk put the two into the camera frame.
“This is a great guy. What’s your name, he asked his new fan. “Pedro, I appreciate you so much, from the bottom of my heart, I did this for you.”
Pedro, nodding and giving a slight smile, replied, “appreciate it a lot, that really helps a lot.”
The story behind Pedro’s disuse is still unknown.
“That’s how we treat people, that’s how we treat our fans,” said the Chicago artist.
Durk’s ‘good deed’ comes just days after the release of his 21-track album featuring celebrities like J. Cole, Future, 21 Savage and Kodak Black. After the release, he wrote a message to fans about his latest project.
“#It’s about to heal. Thank you for accompanying me on this journey. I hope the pictures I draw from the music will help you recover faster. Love, Durk Banks,” the rapper tweeted on May 26.
