Lil Durk Allegedly Lost His Phones Prior To Arrest

by

Given all the ruckus around the arrest of Lil Durk for alleged murder-for-hire conspiracy, fans still don’t know which details are relevant or not. Regardless, a lot of them are looking back at his social media presence, lyrics, and previous statements to jump to conclusions, and we want to stress that these are all just allegations and fan theories. But one example of this is how the Chicago rapper allegedly took to his Instagram Story before his arrest to claim that he lost his phones, per a social media dig by DJ Akademiks. As you can see in the comments section of the IG post below, some fans think that this is no coincidence, and that these cellular devices could have been pieces of evidence.

At the end of the day, though, we can’t really make a judgement call on this claim and alleged development. This could mean a million different things, and it could just be a case of poor timing and skeptical coincidence. Nevertheless, Lil Durk has other legal developments to worry about in his case. He’s reportedly still in a Miami prison before his upcoming transfer to Los Angeles to answer for the indictment that alleges his group OTF’s involvement in the murder of Lul Pab, Quando Rondo’s cousin, in the city.

Lil Durk Reportedly Alleged That He Lost His Phones Before Arrest

This alleged hit was supposedly retaliation for the murder of King Von, per federal authorities’ allegations. Quando Rondo actually seemed to address Lil Durk’s arrest in an Instagram post, although he didn’t mention Smurk by name. “We didn’t get into this music industry to make it just to stay caught up in this street s**t,” he wrote. “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.’”

We’ll see whether these allegedly lost phones have any relevance in the Lil Durk situation, but again, it’s very hard to say. Us social media users are not lawyers, and we know nothing of the actual federal case. Another example of fans digging for “clues” and more conversations concerns a resurfaced clip of him talking about why he hates snitches, which falls under darker context now given allegations of an informant in OTF. Still, it’s too early to say for sure, and fans are just interested in being retrospective for the sake of speculative discussion.

Nikola Jokić Briefly Lost The Finals MVP Trophy

by

Nikola Jokić is not only the MVP of the NBA Finals but also of our hearts. The Denver Nuggets center has gone viral multiple times for his less-than-enthusiastic reaction to becoming the NBA champion. Furthermore, images of Jokić almost forcing himself to have a good time during the team’s post-game celebrations have emerged online. That’s not to say that Jokić isn’t happy he won an NBA championship. Instead, Jokić is just truly the basketball player’s basketball player. He doesn’t need all the media attention and pomp. He did his job, won a championship. Now he wants to go home and enjoy his time off.

To cap off a historic playoff performance, Jokić was named Finals MVP. He averaged 30.2 points, 14 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game during the Nuggets’ 4-1 series win over the Miami Heat. There was no one more deserving of the trophy than Jokić, who also finished as the runner-up in league MVP voting this season. However, in true “I don’t want to be here” fashion, Jokić has gone viral again, this time for his trophy antics.

Jokić Loses MVP Trophy In Locker Room

First reported by ESPN‘s Malika Andrews, Jokić reportedly lost the Finals MVP trophy while celebrating. “I left it in the equipment manager’s room and it’s not there anymore,” Jokić admitted to Andrews. It’s not the first time that an athlete has lost an important trophy. In 2013, the Baltimore Ravens had to admit that they managed to lose the Lombardi Trophy after misplacing it during team celebrations after the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, in 2011, Real Madrid managed to get the Copa Del Rey trophy run over by the team bus while parading through the streets of the city.

Thankfully, Jokić’s story has a happy ending. Andrews later reported that “Rest assured, the Nuggets’ longtime equipment g*ru Sparky Gonzales has the trophy cleaned and detailed and it’s ready for Thursday’s parade.” However, the whole incident has only added to the mystique of Jokić’s post-championship demeaning. Speaking of the championship parade, that was another element of proceedings that appeared to physically pain him. “The job is done. We can go home now,” Jokić said in a post-game interview.
