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. This prompted her followers to theorize that she was referring to Durk, though this is still not confirmed. She later deleted the post, leaving her supporters with even more questions. In response, she made it clear that she meant what she said.

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. For those who don’t recall, Durk and DeJ Loaf were rumored to be dating several years ago. 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. What do you think of social media users speculating that DeJ Loaf shared a message in response to Lil Durk’s arrest? Do you think he’s who she was referring to or not?

Quando Rondo Appears To Respond To Lil Durk’s Arrest With Heartfelt Message About Forgiveness

by

Last week, Lil Durk was arrested in Broward County, FL for alleged murder-for-hire. Reportedly, the Chicago rapper was booked into a Miami prison yesterday to await transport to Los Angeles. His arrest took place just hours after five alleged OTF affiliates were taken into custody on similar charges. Authorities believe they were allegedly hired to carry out the murder of Quando Rondo in retaliation for King Von’s 2020 death. In 2022, Quando Rondo and his cousin Lul Pab were at an LA gas station when their vehicle was shot up. Rondo was unscathed, but Lul Pab passed away as a result of his injuries.

Following Lil Durk’s arrest, many fans have been eager to hear from Quando Rondo. The day after he was taken into custody, Rondo dropped a new song called “Life Goes On,” which arrived alongside a cinematic music video. The emotional track pays tribute to Lul Pab and other late loved ones.

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.’”

Joe Budden Compares Lil Durk To Chief Keef After Arrest For Alleged Murder-For-Hire

by

Lil Durk’s arrest has earned mixed reactions in the hip-hop community. He was taken into custody in Florida earlier this week for alleged murder for hire. According to DJ Akademiks, he’s since been moved to Miami and is awaiting transport to Los Angeles. His arrest took place just hours after five alleged OTF affiliates were arrested and hit with similar charges.

If convicted, Durk could reportedly face life imprisonment or the death penalty. During a new episode of his podcast, Joe Budden shared his take on the situation, revealing that he finds it extremely unfortunate. “I’m just tired of seeing young, Black, successful people get the opportunity [and lose it] like that, because of where we came from and the things we’ve endured and experienced,” he explained.

Joe Budden Thinks Chief Keef “Did It The Right Way”

“At some point, somebody has to break the cycle,” he added. Budden went on to bring up another Chicago rapper, Chief Keef. He compared the two of them, arguing that Chief Keef managed to navigate his circumstances the right way. “I could not stop thinking of Chief Keef this whole time,” he said. “As an example of, or at least the only example I can think of, of somebody that did it the right way.”

“All I know is he got a record deal, word spread fast around the industry about who he be like it normally does, he wild out for a year…maybe the first year and a half, and then he boogied, he moved. He moved and we never heard a thing again,” Budden described. What do you think of Joe Budden’s take on Lil Durk’s recent arrest? What about his remarks about Chief Keef?

The Dinizulu Law Group, representing the estate of the late FBG Duck, released a statement in response to Durk’s indictment yesterday (October 25). “Despite repeated warnings and numerous violent incidents, record labels Alamo Records, Sony Music Entertainment Inc., Empire Distribution Inc., and Universal Music Group Recordings Inc. d/b/a Interscope Records chose to fuel, finance, and develop brands with Lil Durk, OTF, and King Von, undeterred by overwhelming evidence of violent criminal activity,” it alleges in part.

“Lil Durk…engag[ed] in, plann[ed], approv[ed] the bounty on FBG Duck’s life and condon[ed] the acts of violence King Von engaged when he knew or should have known of the violent conduct, and violent histories of King Von and other known gang members he affiliated [with]…Lil Durk knew long before 2020 that King Von had a vendetta against FBG Duck, sought to rob and kill in the music industry, and consistently sought to build a brand of violence and reality rap based on committing real acts of violence on FBG Duck and the public at large,” the lawsuit alleges.

Lil Durk Loses Key To City After Arrest For Alleged Murder-For-Hire

by

Earlier this month, Lil Durk was granted keys to Broadview and Bellwood, two villages just outside of Chicago. He was recognized for the philanthropic efforts of his Neighborhood Heroes Foundation. Not everyone was on board, however. Several social media users argued that there were plenty of individuals more deserving of the honor, such as a local teacher, doctor, or first responder.

Of course, this backlash was only compounded yesterday, when the rapper was arrested for alleged murder-for-hire. He was taken into custody in Broward County and has since been transferred out. According to DJ Akademiks, he’s most likely headed to Florida, though this is not confirmed. Reportedly, he could potentially face life imprisonment or even the death penalty if found guilty.

In response to the debacle, Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson took to social media today to announce that she’s cut ties with Durk’s foundation and revoked his key. “While the American system of justice grants everyone the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law, in the village of Broadview, the court of public opinion of residents has even higher moral and ethical standards of behavior,” her statement reads in part. “And our public partners must also reflect the same uncompromising standards demanded by our residents.”

Mayor Thompson’s statement arrives amid reports that an OTF member allegedly snitched on Lil Durk by wearing a wire to provide federal agents with information. Allegedly, the individual just returned home after serving a 12-year prison sentence.

Lil Durk Reportedly Transferred Out Of Broward County After Arrest For Alleged Murder-For-Hire

by

Yesterday (October 24), Lil Durk was arrested in Broward County, FL for alleged murder-for-hire. According to his lawyers Brian Bieber and Alek Ubieta, he’s scheduled to appear in federal court in Fort Lauderdale at some point today. Now, however, DJ Akademiks reports that he’s been transferred out of Broward County Jail. In a Tweet, Ak explains that he’s most likely being moved to a California jail.

Durk’s arrest happened just a few hours after five alleged OTF affiliates were arrested for similar charges. Authorities believe they’re allegedly connected to the murder of Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson, Quando Rondo’s cousin. Quando Rondo and Lul Pab were victims of a shooting at an LA gas station in 2022. The rapper walked away unscathed, despite allegedly being the target, but Lul Pab ultimately succumbed to his injuries.

Lil Durk Is Most Likely Heading To California, According To DJ Akademiks

Prosecutors allege that the five men were hired to kill Quando Rondo in retaliation for King Von’s 2020 death. Allegedly, an unnamed OTF member even offered whoever did so “lucrative music opportunities.” Shortly after King Von passed away, Timothy “Lul Tim” Leeks was arrested and hit with felony murder charges related to his death. In 2023, however, these charges were dropped under Georgia’s “stand-your-ground” law. This means authorities believe he was allegedly defending himself.

Since news of Durk’s arrest hit the internet last night, reactions have been mixed. While some social media users are incredibly concerned for Lil Durk, and hope things work out in his favor, others couldn’t care less. Recently, for example, Charleston White hopped online to share his take on the debacle. He laughed at the Chicago artist as he speculated that he could have a rough time behind bars.
