The legal team behind Lil Durk, real name Durk Banks, argues that prosecutors’ attempt to use his lyrics as evidence shows they have no real case against him in his murder-for-hire charges.

In a statement shared with TMZ, attorneys for the popular Chicago rapper criticized the prosecution quoting his lyrics.

“When you see an artist’s rap lyrics quoted as ‘evidence’ against them, it is a glaring indication that there is no real evidence against that person,” said Drew Findling, Marissa Goldberg, Jonathan Brayman, and Christy O’Connor of the Findling Law Firm.

Adding, “The claims in the indictment against Mr. Banks are false and lacking in the most basic due diligence. The real truth is that Durk Banks is a Grammy Award-winning artist, a dedicated father, and a loving husband.”

“Mr. Banks has been intensely committed to giving back to the Chicago community he loves through his Neighborhood Heroes Foundation and has put on more than a dozen charitable events over the last few years. He is looking forward to fighting against these false allegations in court.”

Authorities have accused Durk of ordering the August 2022 hit that led to the death of Quando Rondo’s cousin Saviay’a Robinson. The prosecution claimed that he boasted about the process in his verse on Babyface Ray’s “Wonderful Wayne & Jackie Boy.”

“Told me they got an addy (gooo)/ Got location (gooo) Green light (go, go, go, go, go)/ Look on the news and see your son, You screamin’, ‘No, no’ (pussy!),” Durk raps on the track.

Lil Durk was taken into custody on October 24, following the arrests of five Chicago men reportedly affiliated with his Only The Family collection. All six men have been charged in connection to the shooting death of Quando Rondo’s 24-year-old cousin Saviay’a Robinson in Los Angeles on August 19, 2022.
