Chicago rapper Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Banks, has recently been arrested and charged for his alleged involvement in a murder-for-hire plot. The renowned artist was apprehended by law enforcement on charges connected to hiring someone to carry out a premeditated murder.
The arrest has sent shockwaves through the music industry and is in connection to the 2022 murder of Quando Rondo’s 24-year-old cousin Saviay’a Robinson in Los Angeles.
The indictment, filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, claims that all five men are associates of Lil Durk’s OTF collective, according to the Chicago Tribune. Flights and rental cars for the five men were paid for with a credit card tied to the label, the prosecution alleges. Prosecutors also reportedly claim an unnamed member of OTF allegedly offered “lucrative music opportunities” to anyone who would kill Quando Rondo.
Quando Rondo and his team were in Los Angeles on Aug. 19, 2022, when their vehicle was shot up at a gas station in Beverly Grove neighborhood. Quando Rondo came away unscathed. But his cousin was hit during the shooting and succumbed to the wounds.
Police believe the shooting was retribution for the death of Lil Durk‘s protege King Von, who was shot and killed by an affiliate of Quando Rondo following a fight outside an Atlanta lounge in November of 2020.
Until we know the facts, let’s keep our thoughts in check. Support Lil Durk or not, it’s up to you, but just respect the legal process, it’s a long and winding road. Let’s hope justice is served, whichever way it will unfold.
