A photo from Lil Durk and India Royale's 2022 tour resurfaced online, sparking interest in the relationship between the rapper and his baby mama. The couple, who have been together since 2017, welcomed their daughter Willow in 2018. Durk, whose real name is Durk Banks, was acquitted of charges related to a 2022 murder-for-hire plot targeting rapper Quando Rondo.
