Lil Durk Loses Latest Bail Request in Murder-for-Hire Case as Judge Finds He Attempted to Flee to Dubai

Lil Durk lost a bail request in his murder-for-hire case over a flight to Dubai, which a judge found was the rapper's attempt to flee prior to arrest.

Lil Durk has once again been ordered to stay in jail without bail until his murder-for-hire trial, with a federal judge finding that the rapper attempted to flee to Dubai before his arrest and might try to escape again if let free. The Chicago drill star (Durk Banks) has been incarcerated in Los Angeles since he was charged last year with ordering members of his Only the Family (OTF) crew to carry out a 2022 attack on rival rapper Quando Rondo that left another man dead. The ruling cited newly-unsealed evidence in a separate Chicago murder-for-hire case that Durk is linked to, though not charged in, which suggests he tried to place a bounty on the family member of a witness.
