Rapper Lil Durk Denies Charges in Alleged Murder-for-Hire Plot

Lil Durk faces life in prison if convicted of orchestrating an attack on rival rapper Quando Rondo.

Lil Durk, real name Durk Banks, pleaded not guilty to charges including conspiracy and murder-for-hire in a Los Angeles court.
The charges stem from an alleged plot to kill Georgia rapper Quando Rondo, believed to be linked to the 2020 murder of Chicago rapper King Von.
Prosecutors claim Banks hired five associates from his hip-hop group 'Only the Family' to carry out the attack, which resulted in the death of Rondo's cousin, Saviay'a Robinson.
Banks was arrested in Miami while attempting to board a flight to Italy and has been held without bail due to being considered a flight risk.
A trial is scheduled for January 7, with prosecutors opposing any bond requests, citing Banks as a danger to the community.
