Episode 97

In Episode 97 of the Big Trouble podcast, the hosts delve into recent allegations against rapper Lil Durk, who is now facing serious legal issues, including a murder-for-hire charge. Federal prosecutors allege that Durk orchestrated a plot targeting rapper Quando Rondo as retaliation for the 2020 death of King Von, a close friend and fellow member of Lil Durk’s “Only the Family” (OTF) collective. The alleged plot culminated in a 2022 shooting in Los Angeles, where Rondo’s cousin was tragically killed.Five individuals affiliated with OTF are said to have coordinated the attack, funded by Durk and OTF resources. Prosecutors argue that Durk encouraged the plan by offering both monetary rewards and potential music deals. Surveillance footage and financial records reportedly trace the OTF crew’s movements, from flight bookings to hotel accommodations and vehicle rentals used during the attack. Allegedly, after the shooting, the group returned to Chicago, further implicating OTF finances in the incident.Lil Durk has consistently denied gang affiliations for OTF, asserting it’s solely a music label, but these charges complicate that narrative. The podcast explores how this case fits into Durk’s broader legal troubles, including past criminal charges and rumored informants within OTF who may have cooperated with law enforcement    .
