XXL: I saw the preview to the “Chi-Raq” remix, and heard the Tyga diss. What happened there?
Lil Durk: The song with me, Chris Brown and French Montana, I had said a line in there, a line about Blac Chyna. It wasn’t a diss, it was just a line, like, I want her and sh*t. It wasn’t no diss. When we was in L.A.—me, Tyga and Chris Brown, when we first did the hook—Tyga came in and heard the line, [and] he felt some type of way. It was tension since then. Chris Brown had played it back to him. It was tension. [Tyga] was like, “Man, just change it,” and I was like, “No doubt, I’m going to change it once we get something in, I fu*k with you.” He said he fu*ks with me and he’s been texting me since I left L.A., like, “I’m going to send you something, you going to send me something, etc.” Then he stop replying and sh*t, and I felt some type of way and said, fu*k it then, I’m not going to kiss his ass.
What did Tyga ask, specifically? To remove the reference completely?
He asked me to shout his name out on it. So I said I’ll do it, and he said we’re going to get some work in. I think he just told me that so I could just change it and I caught on to what he was doing, so I turned up on him.
How upset was he when he heard the line?
When he first heard it he was like, “Man, Goddamn, what you say though?” So I told him the rhyme, and said this ain’t no disrespect, that’s a complement, actually. He was like, iight, at least shout me out. Chris Brown was laughing. I was just like, it’s all good. He was like, it just sound like a little disrespectful, just shout me out. So I said, cool, we’re going to work.
When was the last time you spoke to him?
Like maybe two weeks ago.
So you think he tried to dupe you?
Yeah. He thought I was going to change the song before he sent [his] verses. Everything was everything until he started to try and spin me.
When did you record the “Chi-Raq (Remix)”?
Like three or four days [ago]; no more than a week. Meek [Mill] hit me and said he wanted me to get on [the track] with him.
Do you think you settled things with that line?
Yeah, I addressed it enough. I was just like, fu*k it, anything you do in a rap, it got to be an attention-grabber, so why not address it? You see what it’s doing—million views on Worldstar.
What did Meek say when he heard it?
He said that Tyga in trouble. [Laughs]
So is this a shot, just a statement or is this a new beef?
I was just addressing sh*t. I wouldn’t call it no beef, I just let him know, backpack. You’ll get your sh*t snatched for real. Just let him know, this ain’t that, you spinning me like I’m some type of little kid or something. Outside of music, it’s still real nikkas, you can’t play with nikkas like that.
What if Tyga responds? Will you follow up, or is this just a one-time thing?
I won’t respond back to him.
Everything I said in that rap will be for real though. So if I ever see him, he’s getting his sh*t took. 
And he just never followed up.
He just kept saying he was going to do it, I said cool. I look up, he jumping off of airplanes and sh*t.
What was his verse intended for?
He kept saying he was going to do it. I had sent him a song called “Amazing” with me and Rich Homie Quan, but he never sent it back.
