Lil Durk faced backlash in the comment section of one Instagram post, with many people calling the Grammy-winning rapper and practicing Muslim out for going against his religion.
"Then bro gon turn around and rap abt slingin dope and catching bodies," one person commented under the post.
"He got a star and crescent chain but it’s in gold and technically gold is haram in islam, it has to be silver," another comment reads.
"This is wrong in muslim culture bro, its better to wear a small koran ropechain as a necklace than a diamond chain thats worth thousands, God would want him to spend that money on people in need instead of chain u know," someone else posted.

Several people called out the "All My Life" rhymer's chain for being Haram or forbidden in the Muslim faith. Some acts that are considered Haram include the eating of pork, consuming alcohol, gambling and pornography. In Islam, both gold jewelry and silk garments are also prohibited for men to wear.
