Lil Durk’s arrest in Florida has spurred the release of a new statement from attorneys on behalf of FBG Duck’s estate.
Friday, the Dinizulu Law Group, which made headlines earlier this month in connection with a wrongful death suit filed in connection with Duck’s 2020 killing, said that news of Durk’s arrest was a sign that they were “one step closer to justice.” The statement also saw attorneys, speaking on behalf of the estate of Carlton Weekly, better known as FBG Duck, arguing that multiple record labels had helped “fuel” alleged crimes.
“Despite repeated warnings and numerous violent incidents, record labels Alamo Records, Sony Music Entertainment Inc., Empire Distribution Inc., and Universal Music Group Recordings Inc. d/b/a Interscope Records chose to fuel, finance, and develop brands with Lil Durk, OTF, and King Von, undeterred by overwhelming evidence of violent criminal activity,” lawyers said Friday.
Below, see the full statement.
We have learned that Durk Banks, also known as Lil Durk, has been formally indicted in connection with a murder-for-hire plot in the Central District of California. The conduct alleged in this indictment mirrors the pattern of violent activity that we have seen repeatedly from Lil Durk and members of his organization, Only the Family (OTF). This includes the 2019 shooting in Atlanta, the 2020 murder-for-hire of Carlton Weekly, known as FBG Duck, and now, the 2022 murder-for-hire of Tyquian Bowman.
The indictment’s revelations underscore a troubling and longstanding pattern: despite repeated warnings and numerous violent incidents, record labels Alamo Records, Sony Music Entertainment Inc., Empire Distribution Inc., and Universal Music Group Recordings Inc. d/b/a Interscope Records chose to fuel, finance, and develop brands with Lil Durk, OTF, and King Von, undeterred by overwhelming evidence of violent criminal activity.
The Federal Indictment alleges that “credit cards associated with OTF” and “private jets” were used to “help coordinate the murder of T.B.,” underscoring the extensive resources funneled through the OTF record label to fuel these violent acts. This highlights a significant failing by the record labels, which have knowingly emboldened and benefited from this conduct, opting to look the other way in favor of profit.
This indictment brings us one step closer to justice for all those affected by the violent actions perpetuated by OTF, Lil Durk, and his co-conspirators. It is time that record labels be held accountable for their role in enabling this conduct by continuously financing and promoting artists, despite being on notice of repeated evidence of criminal activity by individuals signed to their labels.
We stand resolute in pursuing justice for the victims and holding all responsible parties to account, including those in the music industry who have turbo charged this cycle of violence.
Durk was arrested in Florida on Thursday, with murder-for-hire listed in public jail records as the charge. His arrest came after news broke that five individuals, all alleged to be associated with OTF, had been accused in a conspiracy prosecutors said was intended to target Quando Rondo.
Later Friday, an FBI affidavit cited in an Associated Press report revealed that Durk’s charge was connected to a 2022 shooting that left Rondo’s cousin dead. The FBI was also quoted as saying that Durk was trying to leave the country when he was arrested.
For now, reps for Durk have not released a public statement on these developments. Complex reached out earlier Friday but hadn’t heard back as of this writing.
