People might go insane when they see a star in an unexpected public place. King Cid, a YouTube prankster, tricked Lil Durk fans on Thursday by parading a doppelganger of the Chicago rap singer around a mall in Broward County, Florida (April 7).
The impostor, who goes by the name Shmurkioo, nailed Smurk’s style, sporting Durk’s distinctive blond dreads, a fashionable blue puffer coat, and matching snapback. People flocked to his security squad, and the gathering grew as word traveled across the mall.
Everyone had their phones out, screaming for a selfie, and yelled obscenities at the Durk doppelgänger, which is likely to cause some second-hand humiliation when they hear the hoax video is going viral.
In recent months, rapper impersonators have gone popular. A fake DJ Khaled was recently spotted at Waffle House, channeling the inspiring Khaled character, while a fake Drake has reportedly built a profession out of impersonating the 6 God in Miami.
Lil Durk’s doppelganger in the prank was even co-signed by him. He shared a viral TikTok of the impostor and a female buddy performing their best Durk and India Royale impressions with his “Difference Is” song as the music earlier this week.
