Lil Durk has been acquitted in his federal murder-for-hire case, prompting a strong emotional response from fellow Chicago rapper G Herbo. A video surfaced online showing G Herbo celebrating the verdict, which has since garnered significant attention on social media. This event marks a notable moment in the ongoing narrative surrounding both artists and their legal challenges.
Durk, whose real name is Durk Banks, had been accused of orchestrating a 2022 murder-for-hire plot targeting rapper Tyquian “Quando Rondo” Bowman. The attack resulted in the death of Bowman’s cousin, Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson. The verdict followed two weeks of testimony and three days of jury deliberations. Durk had denied the allegations.

Lil Durk’s Ongoing Legal Challenges
Lil Durk is currently in federal custody as he faces multiple serious charges, including racketeering, murder, and firearms-related offenses. A second trial for these charges is scheduled for October 5.
The legal troubles for Durk are compounded by a 2022 incident at a West Hollywood gas station, where an attack resulted in the death of his cousin, Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson. Prosecutors allege that Durk played a role in orchestrating this attack through associates connected to his Only the Family collective. However, the intended target, Rondo, was not harmed during the incident.
