Lil Durk’s Lyrics ‘Now Being Used Against Him’ in Murder-for-Hire Case

Lil Durk claims his lyrics are "now being used against him" in the government’s murder-for-hire case against the rapper.

The rapper previously pleaded not guilty to the charges, while his lawyers attempted to have the case dismissed earlier this month, citing “false evidence” provided to a grand jury. In a video statement posted on Instagram Wednesday, Lil Durk summarized those recent developments, as well as the government’s attempts to weaponize his verse on Babyface Ray’s song “Wonderful Wayne & Jackie Boy.” “The government told the grand jury that Mr. Banks, through specific lyrics in his music, celebrated and profited from a revenge murder that he had ordered,” David Findling, Durk’s lawyer, said in a filing earlier this month.
