Are Lil Durk and India Royale engaged? Rapper says 'I'll kill for her' despite their tumultuous relationship
Rapper Lil Durk has had a tumultuous on-again, off-again relationship with Instagram celebrity India Royale for over three years now. On Tuesday, September 22, the rapper posted on Instagram a picture of a ring followed by a photograph of him kissing Royale and confirming his engagement to the influencer as he shot down rumors that the two have broken up. The post has since been deleted but the caption read, "Save the bulls**t we ain't never breaking up!!!! ReaL goals YouTube : INDIA ROYALE."
Many fans speculated that the post was just a promotional stunt for India's newly launched YouTube vlog channel. The engagement wasn't confirmed by Royale and hasn't been talked about by Durk either since Tuesday. The last post by Durk, also about Royale, read, "I’ll kill for her I kill bout her I ain’t scared to say it I’ll die bout her India Royale."
Lil Durk and India Royale's tumultuous relationship
Lil Durk and India started dating in 2017 and welcomed their first child together in 2018. Despite the parenthood, India sparked break up rumors after she deleted all of Durk's pictures from her Instagram page. Durk was quick to respond to rumors on Twitter and wrote, "Don't believe the rumors. All internet s**t don't believe half of it." Later, when the rumors didn't stop, the 'Laugh Now Cry Later' rapper quoted Young Thug warning anyone that slid into India's DMs writing, "Don't get shot tryna be the n***a to comfort my b***h while we goin thru it." Denying any cheating rumors, he later tweeted, "India did not cheat on me she to 1000000 for that and respect herself 2much we will never let the internet break up our home y'all can keep trying tho. We don't care frfr."
The rapper has also made two songs, titled 'India' and 'India Part II' dedicated to Royale.
In January 2020, there were rumors that Durk and India were separating after they unfollowed each other on Instagram. The unfollowing was followed by a series of cryptic posts made by Lil Durk on his (now deleted) Instagram stories in which he accused India of cheating on him with the rapper Young Thug. However, the two patched up soon and after following each other on Instagram again, seemed to be happy and in love. This wasn't the first time the couple broke up as the '3 Headed Goat' rapper once tweeted, "Me and India broke up for 2min and 21sec and we back together."
Me and India broke up for 2min and 21sec and we back together :blue_heart: @prettyindie
