In a dramatic update, 50 Cent took to social media to announce that Chicago rapper Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Banks, has hired Drew Findling, a top-tier attorney renowned for defending high-profile cases… to represent him in an escalating murder-for-hire case.
50 Cent shared a photo of Findling on Instagram with the caption, “Lil Durk got Drew Findling on the case he sharp, if they didn’t cross their T’s and dot their I’s he gonna hit the bricks again.”
The news intensifies interest in the case as federal charges mount against Lil Durk, alleging his involvement in the murder of Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson, cousin of rival rapper Quando Rondo.
Robinson’s death occurred in August 2022, and authorities now connect the incident to a murder-for-hire plot allegedly orchestrated by Durk.
Initially arrested in October on conspiracy charges related to the case, Lil Durk now faces additional accusations following a revised federal indictment. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California filed the updated indictment on November 7, adding charges of using interstate facilities to commit a murder-for-hire and possession of firearms, including a machine gun… in connection to a violent crime resulting in death.
The revised indictment places Lil Durk as the case’s lead defendant, intensifying the focus on his alleged role and naming him alongside five other implicated individuals, none of whom have yet entered a plea.
Currently, Lil Durk is being held without bond in a Miami facility, with authorities planning to transfer him to Los Angeles for his upcoming arraignment.
According to prosecutors, Durk allegedly ordered a hit on Quando Rondo’s cousin in what they claim was retaliation for the death of King Von, Durk’s close friend who was killed in 2020 in a conflict involving Rondo’s associates.
The prosecution argues that Durk put up a bounty and provided financial backing to his Only The Family (OTF) crew to execute the plan.
As Lil Durk’s case heads to trial, the addition of high-profile lawyer Drew Findling is already sparking speculation. Known for his sharp legal acumen, Findling could play a pivotal role in shaping the outcome of this high-stakes case.
Fans and followers are now closely watching to see how Durk’s defense unfolds, with many weighing in on social media about the potential twists in the rapper’s latest legal battle.
