After Lil Durk was arrested in the murder-for-hire case almost a month ago, friends have come together to support him and ask that he be set free. They started the “Free Durk” movement at the same time, which is popular on social media sites like Instagram and X right now.
The rapper’s team is also said to have sold t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies with the words “Free Durk” printed on them. This took place after the GRAMMY-nominated rapper was arrested in Florida on Thursday, October 24.
He was charged by the federal government in 2022 with planning and paying for a plan to kill fellow rapper Quando Rondo. However, Forbes says that he pleaded not guilty on November 15 in the murder-for-hire case in the Central District of California.At the same time, people on the internet used Instagram and X to talk about the goods after the news spread. People said under @saycheesetv’s Instagram post that the rapper can be “kept” by the police for “$95.”Other people replied to X user @nojumper’s post with similar thoughts. Some people said they wouldn’t pay $95 for a coat, while others said it should be free.
What’s $95 for a hoodie? Smurf, don’t make me get the heat press ready. One person wrote, “I’ll have the streets in these before you ship.””Either the fact that he’s doing this crap or the fact that he’s charging $95 for it is funny,” said someone else.Someone laughed and asked, “Shouldn’t it be free?”
Some people also told the band that he must need the money.
Someone else wrote in jest, “He needs that money.”“I love Durk and all, but I’m not paying $95 for a hoodie that says ‘free durk’,” said someone else.One person said, “95 for a hoodie? I can say that crap for free.”Forbes reports that Chicago rapper Lil Durk pleaded not guilty after being charged with illegal murder-for-hire in a plot against rapper Quando Rondo according to a grand jury. Federal court records from Los Angeles show that his hearing will now take place on January 7.
On November 15, the rapper was charged with more crimes, including conspiracy, carrying and having firearms during a crime that kills, and using weapons, especially machine guns. This happened a few weeks after Lil Durk was caught on charges of planning to use facilities in other states to kill someone for money.
Forbes also said that he was added as the main defendant to an indictment that already named five of his co-defendants in connection with the alleged murder-for-hire plan. The government also said that all five of them are connected to Lil Durk’s rap group “Only The Family.” The rapper and the other suspects could also get “a statutory maximum sentence of life in federal prison” if they are found guilty, the court said.
The whole thing happened after Lil Durk was arrested on October 24 and put into federal custody in Florida on charges of murder-for-hire. The federal charge, which was made public on October 25, said that Durk and the five people who were allegedly with him did the following:
“…One count of conspiracy, one count of use of interstate facilities to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death, and one count of using, carrying and discharging firearms and a machine gun and possession of such firearms in furtherance of a crime of violence resulting in death.”According to the same sources, Lul Timm, who works with Quando, is accused of killing artist King Von, who works with Durk. Durk is said to have paid five of his men to kill Rondo as revenge for the death of King Von in 2020. The person who really died in the fight was Quando’s cousin Lul Pab.
