Lil Durk and Gunna have honored the life of late visionary Virgil Abloh in a new video for their collaborative track, “What Happened to Virgil,” directed by Cole Bennett and presented by Lyrical Lemonade.

The clip pays homage to the late designer with multiple sets inspired by the former Off-White founder and Louis Vuitton artistic director, including Drake‘s Air Drake plane, which Abloh painted, and the Louis Dreamhouse.

The visual begins with a quote from Abloh, reading, “Life is so short that you can’t waste even a day subscribing to what someone thinks you can do versus knowing what you can do.” Abloh died at the age of 41 on November 28, 2021, following a private battle with cancer.

“What Happened to Virgil” appears on Lil Durk’s latest record, 7220, which was released on March 11. The 16-track album, which features appearances from Future, Summer Walker and Morgan Wallen, opened at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking Durk’s first solo chart-topping record.

Durk is currently performing across the country on a 17-stop tour in support of the album, which is scheduled to wrap up at the United Center in his home city of Chicago on May 2.
