As Lil Durk’s murder-for-hire trial gets closer, tensions are rising . Not just in court, but in the streets and online. According to recent reports, the FBI is investigating alleged threats made by some of Durk’s fans toward the judge and prosecutors handling the case.
The trial, set to begin on January 6, 2025, centers around accusations that Durk orchestrated a plot to have Quando Rondo and certain O-Block affiliates killed. Prosecutors allege Durk ordered men to fly out to Los Angeles to carry out the hit. The violence allegedly ties back to the killing of Lui Pad, a close associate of Quando Rondo.

Authorities say the situation escalated after Durk was caught with an Apple Watch while in custody; a violation of jail protocol. Prosecutors claim he attempted to destroy the device after realizing he’d been caught with it, raising further questions about potential tampering or destruction of evidence.
Now, with federal authorities monitoring fan activity, the spotlight is not only on Durk but also on the volatile atmosphere surrounding the trial. Legal experts say any threats online or by any means could lead to new federal charges, not just for Durk but for anyone interfering with the judicial process.
The case has captured national attention and is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched trials in hip-hop history.
