'Pathetic'
"Durk Banks is innocent, no matter how many indictments they want to throw at him," the artist's attorneys claim
A grand jury has added new counts to Lil Durk’s murder-for-hire case, transforming the federal prosecution into a broader racketeering case that now accuses the Grammy-winning rapper and his co-defendants of murder in aid of racketeering and conspiracy to commit stalking.
The third superseding indictment, filed Thursday, introduces a new allegation involving the Jan. 27, 2022, killing of a “rival gang member” in Chicago. It accuses the “All My Life” rapper, born Durk Banks, of acting as the leader of a menacing Chicago street gang and offering a reward that led to the killing.
According to the filing, obtained by Rolling Stone, Banks allegedly brought $1 million in cash to a music studio after the purported hit, and an alleged co-conspirator later posted a photo on social media showing off “his monetary reward.” The post quoted Banks’ song “AHHH HA,” with the lyrics, “We be sliding through they blocks and they don’t know we have,” according to the indictment.
