Tekashi 6ix9ine Taken Into Federal Custody

by

Tekashi 6ix9ine has been taken into federal custody, according to a report by DJ Akademiks. The reason for the arrest is due to 6ix9ine allegedly “violating the conditions of his supervised release.” Overall, 6ix9ine is someone who has been in a lot of trouble throughout his career, for a plethora of different reasons. Of course, many remember his case from 2018 which led to RICO charges. However, 6ix9ine snitched on pretty well all of his associates and he only got a few years in prison.

Since that time, Tekashi has remained in the headlines thanks to his various antics. From disrespecting the dead to going overseas and causing trouble in various countries, 6ix9ine has remained a polarizing figure. Moreover, he recently signed a deal with Kartel music, but, of course, now that he is in Federal Custody, that deal might not be worthy much, moving forward. As for this current arrest, there aren’t too many details as to what exactly 6ix9ine did. However, there is no denying that Federal Custody is absolutely no joke.

Investigators from several federal agencies launched an “interagency operation” at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on Monday as Diddy remains behind bars at the infamous New York City jail. In a statement provided to the Associated Press, the Bureau of Prisons said the operation is “designed to achieve our shared goal of maintaining a safe environment for both our employees and the incarcerated individuals housed at MDC Brooklyn.”

The agency also noted in a statement on Monday that there was “no active threat” and instead, the operation had been pre-planned for some time.

DJ Akademiks Theorizes Lil Durk Will Face A “Big” Indictment Over Other Alleged Crimes

by

DJ Akademiks has spoken at length about the recent arrest of Lil Durk for allegedly orchestrating an attempted murder of rival rapper Quando Rondo in 2022. In doing so, he theorized that the feds are planning a bigger indictment against the rapper during a recent livestream. Federal prosecutors unveiled their complaint against Durk on Friday, alleging that Only the Family is a “hybrid organization” that also functions as a criminal gang in addition to a music collective.

“Banks [Lil Durk] put a monetary bounty out for an individual with whom Banks was feuding named T.B.,” the filing reads, referencing Rondo’s initials. “Banks ordered T.B.’s murder and that the hitmen used Banks and OTF-related finances to carry out the murder.” They further alleged that it was in retaliation for the 2020 killing of King Von.

As for Akademiks’ response, he theorized that more alleged attempted murders may be brought up in an alleged full indictment. “There’s a thought of mine that says, ‘When the feds unseal this indictment, they’re gonna have every attempt on Quando Rondo’s life. There was supposedly like three or four before. They might have FBG Cash, they might have other situations. They might bring back that Atlanta joint back that he was co-defendants with Von.’”

DJ Akademiks Discusses Lil Durk’s Recent Arrest

From there, he brought up the allegations that Durk was allegedly planning to flee the country before his arrest. “The reason why the feds did it is because they thought Durk was gonna run. So, the mere fact they locked him up, is because they know they’re cooking up a grand jury indictment. And that indictment, I think, is not only gonna have this murder for hire, it’s gonna be a superseding indictment. It might be racketeering. Or it might have other murders and other attempted murders. That’s gonna be the big bang.” Check out Akademiks’ full comments on Durk’s arrest below.

Wack 100 Speaks On Alleged Informants That Contributed To Lil Durk’s Arrest

by

The hip-hop media world continues to react to – and speculate about – the federal arrest of Lil Durk for alleged murder-for-hire conspiracy. Most recently, Wack 100 and DJ Vlad hopped on VladTV for yet another interview, and they discussed this matter and their many moving parts. We won’t discuss much of the details around their conversation given their unfounded allegations and presumptions, but if you’re interested in hearing them beyond this summary, check the interview clip out for yourself down below. Basically, Wack connected alleged dots between alleged informants in OTF and how multiple associates’ statements led to this alleged murder-for-hire.

For those unaware, there are rumors circulating from alleged court documents that claim that there was an informant within OTF that provided information to the federal government over the course of two years. This individual reportedly served roughly 12 years in prison and then got out. While these reports cite court documents, more could still emerge that would prove or disprove this statement. Either way, federal authorities arrested five other alleged OTF members who allegedly tried to carry out a hit on Quando Rondo with funds from Lil Durk, per prosecutors’ accusations.

Wack 100 Speaks On Lil Durk

This news comes as fans are looking back at Lil Durk’s past and seeing conversations about street life under a different context. However, it’s important to note that we still haven’t seen a trial, so these are all allegations at the end of the day. For example, social media brought up an old clip of Wallo advising the Chicago rapper to forgive his loved ones’ killers and “make it out” of his situation. Fans connected this to how the alleged hit on Quando Rondo was supposedly in retaliation for the murder of King Von.

A 2022 shooting in Quando Rondo’s vicinity took the life of his cousin Lul Pab, and that is the murder that federal authorities are now investigating concerning Lil Durk. Recently, Rondo seemed to address Durk’s arrest via Instagram, although he did not mention him by name. It was a call to promote forgiveness and move past street conflicts that have caused so much pain and suffering.

Lil Durk Fans Blame Trolls For Legal Trouble And Cause Debate Around His Alleged Actions

by

There’s been a lot of debate around the shocking arrest of Lil Durk for alleged murder-for-hire conspiracy among his fanbase. Mainly, it revolves around fans’ endorsement or condemnation of his alleged actions and how there’s a split between those that were always against it and those that are now eating their words. Specifically, the former group pointed to the latter’s “Slide For Von” movement on social media that allegedly sought to goad the Chicago rapper into retaliating against the murder of King Von. You can see some examples of this divisive conversation by scrolling further down below, and it’s not a pretty one.

For those unaware, Lil Durk has been charged for allegedly organizing a hit on Quando Rondo to retaliate for the murder of King Von. A 2022 shooting in Rondo’s vicinity ended up taking the life of his cousin Lul Pab, which federal authorities claim is on Durk’s hands now. However, Quando himself recently took to Instagram to seemingly address the matter, although he didn’t mention The Voice by name. Either way, a lot of fans are looking at this feud very differently now.

Lil Durk Fans Call Each Other Out

Some were always advocating for Lil Durk and Quando Rondo to not resort to violence, whereas others took it more lightly. Nevertheless, here’s what Rondo had to say recently. “We didn’t get into this music industry to make it just to stay caught up in this street s**t,” he wrote on Instagram. “We all have families and communities counting on us. It’s time to leave all that behind. We’ve already lost so much, and it’s heavy on my heart to forgive anyone I had issues with in the past. It’s all love from me. Praying for everyone. ‘Life Goes On.’”

More Reactions

Meanwhile, other reports claim that Lil Durk alleged to have lost his phones before U.S. Marshals arrested him in Florida. It’s unclear whether this could have any implications in his case, and it’s far too early to tell for sure. Nevertheless, debates around this legal trouble will most likely continue raging for the foreseeable future. We’re still in the early stages, so there are a lot of unanswered questions concerning these alleged crimes that no one should jump to conclusions about. Check out this debate in the tweets down below.

DeJ Loaf Appears To Support Lil Durk After His Arrest For Alleged Murder-For-Hire

by

Last week, Lil Durk was arrested in Florida for alleged murder-for-hire. The Chicago rapper could reportedly face life imprisonment or the death penalty if he’s found guilty, so obviously, the stakes are high. The arrest has prompted big reactions from countless social media users and peers. Some fans even speculate that one of DeJ Loaf’s latest Tweets was about the debacle.

“Free Mine,” she wrote simply on Friday (October 25), shortly after news of the arrest hit the internet.

DeJ Loaf’s Tweet After Lil Durk Arrest Sparks Speculation

“We seen that post girl!!!!!!” one user wrote, to which DeJ Loaf replied “As you should’ve! I said what I said.” In a follow-up post, she proceeded to check social media users weighing in on things they really know nothing about. “Folks don’t be knowing half of the business they be minding,” she said.

In 2016, however, Durk shut these rumors down during a Hot97 interview, clarifying that they were just “homies.” Either way, DeJ Loaf’s post has raised some questions.

“Her gf looking at her like ‘who dis fa👀’” one Instagram user writes in The Shade Room‘s comments section. “Having a girlfriend and supporting your ex man on social media is so 2024 🤣🤣🤣” another jokes.
