Lil Durk Denied Bail, Accused of Using Phone Accounts of 13 Other Inmates

Lil Durk, the Grammy-winning rapper, lost his bid to be released on bond strict with home detention and is vowing an appeal pending trial.

Lil Durk appeared in a federal courtroom in downtown Los Angeles Thursday, where a judge denied his souped-up bid to be released on bond pending his Oct. 14 trial on charges he orchestrated a murder-for-hire plot that led to a man’s death. He said they “removed” two of the three “specific facts” in the prior indictment that purportedly connected Banks to the August 2022 shooting death of Saviay’a Robinson at a gas station near the Beverly Center mall in Los Angeles. Findling argued the new indictment now hinges on only “sweeping generalizations” that Banks offered a bounty for the death of Robinson’s cousin, Tyquian Terrel Bowman, also known as Quando Rondo.
