He elaborated on why he feels Durkio has surpassed Hov in this age, although many Hip Hop fans oppose it.
His statement has generated a debate among Hip Hop generations, and the controversy does not appear to be calming down anytime soon. Artists have been tackling current cultural trends on It’s Tricky with Raquel Harper, and a clip she released on Instagram with Gillie Da Kid has sparked a heated debate on who the industry’s next Rap icon-mogul-business tycoon is.
Gillie isn’t afraid of conflict, especially when it comes to voicing his thoughts, and this time, he asserted that Lil Durk is the Jay-Z of this age.

“What you mean? You know who the new Hov is,” In the video, the host of Million Dollar Dollaz Worth of Game mentioned.”‘I’m Durkio but I’m Chicago’s Jay-Z.’ Yeah, you know who the new Hov is!” Harper questioned if Gillie really believed that. “Yes! To the young street n***as? Yes. Because see, Hov was about, you know, being a hustler, gettin’ some money, gettin’ the—that was the wave when we was young.”
“We didn’t look up to the shooters. The shooters was crash dummies. If you was a shooter, you was a n***a who life didn’t mean that much. We didn’t value your life. You was a goofy. It didn’t matter if you went to jail ’cause you gon’ die or go to jail anyway soon. You’s a goofy… Now, the shooters get praise. A n***a can have some bodies and have no money and be popular. It’s like, wait, that n***a don’t—that n***a just got a $600 rusty gun. Like, what the f**k is we praising him about?”
