Lil Durk’s father headed to The Breakfast Club, where he revealed how his famous son had been spending his time in jail while awaiting trial… he’s been helping his fellow inmates find God.
“As a human, you sitting in there looking at four walls … it’s gonna have this effect on you, but you know you always bounce back, you always look at the greater picture,” says Dontay Banks.
He continued, “What Allah is doing for us right now, building us to be a better man, is greater than what they trying to do to us and trying to tear us down,” he continued. “He was telling me that when he came in there was like four Muslims on the block. He said now it’s 17 Muslims on the block, so he in there converting.”
Lil Durk is facing federal charges related to an alleged murder-for-hire plot tied to the 2022 killing of Lul Pab, the cousin of rapper Quando Rondo. Prosecutors claim Durk organized the hit as revenge for the 2020 death of his associate and close friend, King Von. They claimed that the rapper arranged travel and accommodations for the shooters and paid for them with his OTF business credit card.
He was arrested in Florida in October 2024 and charged with conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, among other offenses. If convicted, he could face life in prison. His trial is set for October 2025, and he denies all charges against him.
In a separate development, newly unsealed court documents have linked Lil Durk to another alleged murder-for-hire plot concerning the January 2022 killing of Stephon Mack in Chicago. He has not been hit with any charges, but the feds say they have evidence that connects him to the plot.
