Last week, at the end of the work week, Lil Durk and five members of OTF (Only The Family) were arrested. They face serious charges including murder-for-hire related to a death, using a machine gun in a crime, and conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire. This is linked to an attempted murder of Georgia rapper Quando Rondo in 2022, which unfortunately resulted in the death of Rondo's cousin, Saviay’a Robinson, instead of Rondo himself. Additionally, it's reported that someone in OTF may have been secretly providing information to the authorities about Lil Durk for a few years. The individual under suspicion is OTF Jam, but there are still many details to uncover. Following this news, especially regarding Jam's potential informant status, Lil Durk's fans have been vocal about wanting his release. On Monday night, Nigerian rapper Burna Boy added his voice to the conversation through his Instagram Stories. He commented on how times have changed, saying the old rules no longer apply and suggesting that conflicts should end in court instead of violence. This appears to connect to his own issue with Speed Darlington, whom he has accused of cyberstalking. In another post, Burna Boy called for Lil Durk's freedom, saying "Free SMURK." These remarks led to mixed reactions online, with some questioning Burna Boy's credibility in discussing street issues. Critics claimed he wasn't tough enough to comment on gangs, saying those thoughts should come from someone like Boosie instead. This sparked debates, with supporters of Burna Boy arguing that many underestimate the dangers in places like Nigeria. Notably, Burna Boy himself faced legal trouble in Lagos back in 2010 for attempted murder.
