FLORIDA, USA — Grammy award-winning rapper Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Banks, was arrested in South Florida on a murder-for-hire charge Thursday by U.S. Marshals, jail records show.
Records also indicate that Banks, 32, is being held on no bond in the Broward County Main Jail.
According to NBC 6, Banks' arrest comes as five members of the Chicago-based Only The Family (OTF) crew, which the rapper has associations with, were indicted as co-conspirators in a Los Angeles murder-for-hire plot.
However, it's unclear if Banks is in custody related to the same case. First Coast News has requested the Chicago rapper's arrest report for more information.
Lil Durk is expected to release an album with 17 songs on Nov. 22, entitled "Deep Thoughts." He's been nominated for a Grammy Award four times, but has only won one which was in February for "Best Melodic Rap Performance" on a song featuring rapper J. Cole.
