Chicago Rapper Lil Durk Arrested in Florida On Murder-for-Hire Charges


Broward County Jail

Chicago drill rapper Lil Durk was arrested in Florida on Thursday night in connection with an alleged murder-for-hire plot. Lil Durk, real name Durk Banks, was picked up by U.S. Marshals and booked into the Broward County Jail, where he is being held without bond.

Durk, 32, was arrested after five of his OTF gang associates were indicted on murder charges on Thursday.

All 6 men are charged with the murder of “Lul Pab,” a cousin of Georgia rapper Quando Rondo. The shooting occurred in California in 2022. The intended target was Rondo himself, but the shooters missed.

Federal agents linked the murder-for-hire plot to Lil Durk in the indictment which alleges Durk’s OTF record label paid for airline tickets, hotel and rental cars for the shooters in California.

The shooters followed Rondo and Lul Pab who stopped for gas at a station across from the Beverly Center. That’s when the gang members opened fire. They missed Quando Rondo but killed Lul Pab.

Investigators say the shooting was in retaliation for the 2020 murder of Chicago drill rapper King Von. Von (born Dayvon Daquan Bennett) was fatally shot during a fistfight with Rondo outside the Monaco Hookah Lounge in Atlanta, authorities said.

Durk and King Von were previously arrested in Atlanta in 2019 on attempted murder charges. Despite video evidence of Durk and Von shooting at a fleeing gang member, Fulton County DA Fani Willis dropped attempted murder charges against Durk.

For months prior to the Lul Pab murder, fans swarmed Lil Durk’s social media accounts asking him when he was going to “slide” for Von or “get back” for Von. A frustrated Durk begged his fans to stop asking him when he would retaliate for Von’s murder. Durk knew the feds were watching his social media accounts.

Durk became the first alleged serial killer to win a Grammy Award for his song “All My Life” ft. J. Cole at the 2024 Grammy Awards.

As the walls closed in on him, Lil Durk claimed he was a Muslim and he inspired a gangbanger to give his life to God.

“Don’t label me nothing outside of A MAN A FATHER and A 1000% Muslim,” Lil Durk wrote in a post on Instagram in August.
