Lil Durk Reportedly Arrives At Los Angeles Federal Prison Over Alleged Murder-For-Hire

Lil Durk will face a long and complex legal battle in his alleged murder-for-hire case, one that continues to develop slowly but surely. Most recently, according to updated prison and court records, authorities reportedly transferred him to a Los Angeles federal prison from Miami, which is where he remained after his arrest in the Florida city. Now, the Chicago rapper awaits his first hearing or arraignment concerning federal law enforcement’s indictment against him and various other individuals. For those unaware, he faces accusations of monetarily assisting these individuals in attempting to murder rival Quando Rondo.

This alleged hit, per federal prosecutors, supposedly led to the death of Quando Rondo’s cousin Lul Pab. As far as other updates in the Lil Durk case, we don’t have much to work with in this pre-trial process. However, we do know that Smurk’s family and loved ones continue to support each other and advocate for his life while he remains behind bars. His longtime partner India Royale recently posted a picture of all his children, reminding fans of what’s at stake in this complicated case.

In addition, it seems like this alleged murder-for-hire case in federal court will also pose some hefty challenges and controversies when it comes to the precedent and image it sets about the rap world. Lil Durk’s rap lyrics appeared in the indictment against him, something that will likely spark up a lot of fiery debate. More than ever, many within and outside of the culture believe that artistic expressions should not be used as evidence against the person expressing them. Sadly, we seem no closer to finding a surefire and broad solution to the issue. Still, we’ve yet to see with certainty how this will apply in this case.

For these heavy charges, Lil Durk faces life in prison, and previous reports even suggested that the death penalty could be a sentence. But we don’t have solid confirmation on any of that, and it’s far too early to tell for sure. As such, we’ll just have to wait for more court developments out of Los Angeles. The Voice is reportedly in good spirits, so everyone’s curious about what will go down soon.

Kodak Black In Federal Prison, Miami-Dade County Website Suggests

Kodak Black’s recent arrest for drug possession apparently landed him in federal prison, according to Miami-Dade County’s website. Moreover, NBC 6 reported that violated his probation terms as a result of this detainment, which has only further complicated this legal process. For those unaware, the rapper already faced a lot of charges in the past, multiple parole violations, and added antics that exacerbate the effects of previous arrests. As such, it is sadly unsurprising to hear that the court has not yet indicated when he will be able to leave, although his next hearing is scheduled for December 19. At least the Pompano Beach native was able to attend Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s Miami rave for their collab album Vultures earlier this week following bond.

Furthermore, the last update we got on Kodak Black’s legal case was his attorney Bradford Cohen clearing up the aforementioned drug bust. While many reports indicated that he had cocaine at the time, his lawyer denied these claims and said that it was Percocet, instead. This suggests that this will be a pretty contentious and conflictive legal battle if the “Roll In Peace” MC decides to fight for his side of the story in court. After all, this conflicts what the official arrest report read, so there are a couple of moving parts here which could prove to be misdirections.

In other news, Kodak Black denied messing with cocaine, admitted to lean use, and blasted people calling him a “junkie” during a recent Instagram Live session. “I was on the lean,” he expressed. “I was asleep in front of my family house. That’s it. That ain’t illegal. To be talking about cocaine? Hell no. F**k no. Bogus as f**k. [Percocet] was my medicine prescribed to me,” the 26-year-old shared before going into his rehab stint and his addiction habits.

Meanwhile, Yak has another baby on the way, which is at least a big sliver of joy amid a difficult time. Hopefully he’s able to clear up all these issues and get any help he wants before his life as a father takes another step. Let us know in the comments section down below what you think will be next in this case. For the latest updates and more news on Kodak Black, come back to HNHH.

R. Kelly, 55 is taking another loss after the feds reportedly seized his prison commissary fund. According to Bloomberg, the singer had $140,000 in court-ordered fines to pay which led prosecutors to request a federal court to seize over $28,000.

The Bureau of Prisons also confiscated his inmate trust account with no prior court order or notice to him. The “Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number” singer has been left with only $500.

In June, Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison after being convicted on nine counts of various racketeering and sex trafficking charges.

A U.S. District Judge ordered that the singer pay a $100,000 fine, a $40,000 assessment under the Justice for Trafficking Victims Act and a $900 special assessment.

The convicted sex trafficker’s attorney, Jennifer Bonjean took to social media to call the government “unethical.”
