Who is Perkio?

The misunderstanding soon got cleared as it turned out it was Lil Durk’s doppelganger Perkio who got punched in the casino. Durk, on the other hand, announced his social media break by tweeting, “Ima take a break off this s**t ima be back soon.” Perkio, for those who are not aware, first shot to fame when YouTube prankster King Cid made him parade through a mall posing as Chicago rapper Lil Durk in Broward County earlier this month. Perkio later got to meet Lil Durk as he shared a few pics with him on Instagram.  
 
Perkio also made news when he got into a beef with rapper 6ix9ine. He claimed that 6ix9ine ambushed him, saying back in April, “Like, they all came, and then, there was that jacket. And then they start throwing, like, everybody ambushed me, literally. Like, he threw the jacket on me,” as reported by XXL magazine. Perkio has been basking in the limelight as he dresses very similar to Durk and even rocks the same hairstyle.  

‘I just don’t see Durk getting flushed’

Social media users rushed to Twitter as Durk’s loyal fans claimed it was not him in the video. “Y’all know this ain’t Durk with them shoes looking like that,” joked one as another posted, “Real Durk fans know this ain’t him shoes and Durk ain’t that tall and he got more dreads than that smh lol.” Another shared, “Durk ain’t fighting nobody, he’s got too much heaters to waste that much energy. He about that life.” One user posted, “Ain’t no way durk was fighting and nobody jumped in cause this guy was getting flushed I just don’t see Durk getting flushed.”
