#409 - Jay-Z Is Back With A Vengeance

So the first thing is Lil Durk's update on his murder for hire case, and we reported this briefly, but now more details are coming out, and this is the prosecutors trying to add on more charges to Lil Durk's murder for hire case.

Let's go over the article.

Uh, Lil Durk's legal problems look like they're about to get worse as federal prosecutors signal that more charges could be filed.

According to All Hip Hop, there are new allegations of racketeering-related infractions that will be added to his case, including racketeering murder charges.

The recent court filing in Los Angeles disclosed plans to file additional charges related to the 2022 shooting involving Quando Rondo.

The move is reportedly a strategic one intended to block Kirt, uh, Durk's co-defendant, Deandre Wilson, from being released before trial.

Authorities allege that Durk played a role in organizing a retaliatory attack against Quando Rondo in California.

While Quando survived, his cousin Lil Pad was fatally shot during the incident near the Beverly Center.

Prosecutors claim Wilson helped coordinate the shooting by recruiting other people from Chicago to travel to Los Angeles.

The court documents claim that this group in par- particular monitored Quando Rondo for a day before they allegedly shot at him.

The prosecutors described him as a key figure in the murder for hire trial, but Wilson's team has tried to argue that his alleged involvement was less significant than other people charged in the case.

However, the government challenged that with surveillance footage captured in the aftermath of Robinson's death, where Wilson allegedly ordered food and talked to other people involved in the shooting less than an hour after it happened.

Moreover, the filing also accuses Wilson of being out on bond in a separate murder case in Chicago when he traveled to Los Angeles.

It should be noted that he eventually ac- he was eventually acquitted on those charges.

However, prosecutors cited it as a part of his criminal history.

While prosecutors plan to oppose Wilson's release, he's also possibly facing charges in murder in aid of racketeering and conspiracy to commit stalking.

However, the possible new charges against Durk are reportedly also related to older incidents, including the 2019 Varsity restaurant shooting and the 2022 murder of Stefon Mack.

Durk was, Durk was charged in the Varsity restaurant, but the charges were dropped.

Authorities did not file charges related to Mack killing, though Durk was linked to it in federal documents.

They're throwing everything at this guy.

Um, Lil Durk's attorney responded, and they actually posted on Lil Durk's actual Instagram page.

Uh, Drew Findling is, uh, the person who responded.

So let's go over what they had to say.
