Lil Durk Arrested On Murder For Hire Charges
Grammy-winning rapper Lil Durk was arrested Thursday in connection with a fatal ambush near Los Angeles’ Beverly Center shopping mall two years ago.
The artist — real name Durk Devontay Banks — was taken into custody near Miami and is being held without bail, the Los Angeles Times reports. Prosecutors say Lil Durk ordered the killing of fellow rapper Quando Rondo, with whom Durk and his associates have had a violent, yearslong feud.
