June 6, 2024 – This week, the “Old Days” artist was approached by a paparazzo in the Malibu area, per a report from TMZ, and asked about his experience in rehab. Durk was notably candid with his answers, noting that he wants to “embrace” talking openly about getting sober “because it helped me a lot. “It was tough at first but it ain’t that tough because I really knew what I wanted,” Durk said. “I knew what was holding me back. I wanted better. I wanted to be a better man, a better father, a better leader. But more action, so I gotta make sure that the self is good before anybody else.”
From Durk’s perspective, getting into rehab helped him start “thinking clearer” while getting him closer to a sense of peace. That clarity also improved his artistic process, leading to a new type of inspiration. Asked what his lifestyle looked like prior to entering rehab, Durk was again decidedly candid.
“Moving fast, making excuses, letting the drugs take over me,” Durk recalled of his darkest moments. “Codeine and everything. Xanax. But it don’t make me. I can see myself just staying on the right track and trying to change a lot of lives.”
