On December 13th, attorneys for the Chicago rapper reportedly proposed an extensive bail package, including $2.3 million in property and $1 million cash from Sony Music.

The defense also offered electronic monitoring, 24-hour security at a secure property, and the handover of all electronic devices. Prosecutors say the proposed bond conditions were “woefully inadequate.” They argued Banks is a danger to the community and labeled him a flight risk, stating the evidence against Lil Durk warranted his detention.  Lil Durk was arrested in October for his alleged involvement in a murder-for-hire plot. The rapper and five other men were indicted on federal charges for allegedly plotting to kill rapper Quando Rondo in retaliation for King Von’s 2020 murder. 

Meanwhile, prosecutors linked Durk to another murder, the killing of an alleged gang leader outside a community center on the Far South Side of Chicago in 2022. 

A newly unsealed indictment accuses Lil Durk of funding a murder-for-hire plot in retaliation for the 2021 killing of his brother, Dontay Banks. According to the filing, Durk orchestrated the slaying of Stephon Mack in January 2022. The FBI claims Mack was the leader of the Smashville faction of the Gangster Disciples at the time. Â
