Rapper 6ix9ine has stirred up drama by betting $10,000 that India Royale, the wife of jailed rapper Lil Durk, will cheat on him while he’s locked up. He made the bold wager with DJ Akademiks, a popular hip-hop commentator who strongly disagrees, saying India is too loyal to step out.
The bet came up during a recent chat and quickly blew up online, especially on social media. Fans are split, with some shocked by 6ix9ine’s claim and others debating if he’s just trolling for attention.
India Royale is a fashion influencer and social media star who’s been with Lil Durk since 2017. They have a daughter together, Willow, born in 2018, and got married quietly in early 2024. DJ Akademiks confirmed the wedding, and Lil Durk hinted at it in his March 2025 track “Can’t Hide It.” Even with Lil Durk facing tough times, India has stuck by him, showing up to court and keeping their family life strong online.
Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Derrick Banks, is currently locked up in Los Angeles. He’s facing charges tied to an alleged murder-for-hire plot aimed at rapper Quando Rondo. His trial, originally set for early 2025, got pushed back to October 2025, and he’s stuck in jail with no bail. India has been a rock for him through all this legal mess.
DJ Akademiks isn’t having any of 6ix9ine’s prediction. He’s confident India won’t cheat, pointing to her commitment to Lil Durk and their tight-knit family. A lot of fans agree with him, praising the couple for holding it together under pressure.
On the flip side, 6ix9ine’s got his own problems piling up. He’s caught in a web of lawsuits, like a $5 million penalty for skipping out on paid gigs and a $1 million case against LA Fitness after getting jumped at one of their gyms back in 2023. Some think this bet is just him stirring the pot to stay in the spotlight.
