Chicago rapper Lil Durk plans to turn himself in later Thursday in connection with a shooting outside an iconic Atlanta landmark during Super Bowl weekend.
Lil Durk is pictured above attending the 42nd Annual McDonald’s All American Games at State Farm Arena on March 27 in Atlanta.
Lil Durk’s lawyer confirmed the rapper will turn himself in to Atlanta police on Thursday afternoon.
A man was shot multiple times outside The Varsity restaurant near downtown Atlanta at around 5:45 a.m. on Feb. 5. The shooting shut down a busy stretch of road for several hours in Midtown Atlanta, Channel 2 Action News reports.
The unidentified 23-year-old man was transported to Atlanta Medical Center in serious condition. It is unclear if he survived his injuries.
Lil Durk’s attorney said he didn’t know what charges his client will face. Durk is a well-known gang-affiliated rapper in Chicago.
Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Derrick Banks, was arrested in November 2014 on weapons charges after Chicago police raided a home in the Orland Park area and found handguns.
He was released on bond after a brief stint in jail. “Nine people were present” in the home, his lawyer Sam Adam Jr. said. “Those guns could have been theirs.”
However, Durk told police he kept the guns for protection. “I got those pipes (guns) ’cause (expletive) always be tryin’ to take my bands (money),” he said, according to a police report.
The father-of-three got his start as a YouTube and Myspace rapper at age 15. His legal problems began when he dropped out of high school and joined the Black Disciples, a rival gang of the Gangster Disciples in Chicago.
In October 2011, he was hit with gun charges, including possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number.
He later pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of aggravated unauthorized use of a weapon, and was sentenced to three months in jail. In 2013 Lil Durk was arrested again with a loaded .50 caliber handgun in Englewood.
His rap career took off after he released his third mixtape, Life Ain’t No Joke. He signed a joint venture with his Only the Family (OTF collective) and Def Jam Recordings.
Durk was involved in a feud with rival rappers Chief Keef and Gangster Disciple Joseph “Lil Jojo” Coleman. Jojo was shot to death on Sept. 5, 2012.
Lil Durk is best known outside of Chicago as the “boyfriend” of lesbian rapper and “My Beyoncé” collaborator Dej Loaf.
“I guess the new thing now is to fake it until you make it. Fake what you got. Fake who you in love with,” said Angeleah Speights, aka Aye Redd, who was Dej Loaf’s rumored girlfriend at the time.

Just ignorant bs!!! That statement he gave the cops ????? He should have just kept his mouth closed those words will be used against him at a later date.
Judging by this post and the last one I’m officially too old to even want to care who these people are. https://media2.giphy.com/media/1DhUzOhxkLI1G/giphy.gif

I was just looking at some pics from Miami beach Memorial Day weekend…… https://media3.giphy.com/media/3FBwwRCNTSa52/giphy.gif
I’m scared to go find pics from Myrtle Beach Bike Week.
Who ? what ? where?
Who’s really caring to count these days? Just throw society away.
Why do all of these raptors call themselves little or lil? Is it because the brain has not grown beyond being little? There is more important stuff going on in the world than having to read about your new baby mama, your next drug trial, etc. SMH.
Where do you see a neck? Can you point it out?

What ATLiens are still eating at Varsity? Seriously?
she gay … and has todd as a beard and she can smash him too … Kandi a straight skeez …. now this is obvious
Child, I went back to Atlanta just to visit some of my friends there, and found out that the new thing they are doing is breaking your car window to steal your things…. Donald Trump could not pay me to move back to ATL…..And I am not saying things don’t happen everywhere, however Atlanta is not how it use to be, skip me please….
Yea you don’t know what a STEM is ? It’s a gay term. Meaning a perfect mixture of a stud and a fem lol
Really. You think Tish Campbell and her…..nevermind!
I am pretty sure car break ins happen in every state…..including the one that you currently live in.
it does, however ATL whole atmosphere is just grimy…….
Damn man, these youngins wildin out here. He a little cutie without the dreads.
yawn another idiot low IQ ‘rapper’ involved in a shooting. These people are just sht. That’s all. Flush them.
It’s those white gangs… for sure..
Right and the Black ones that work for the White ones…….
???
Why u make me go look and see if he has a damn tattoo that says “my neck is here”
He’s practically a midget so the “lil” is perfect for him.
What’s wrong with Varsity? I’m not from there. I do want to get on that Slutty Vegan train tho’.
It’s a tourist trap more than an ATLien regular stop. But, it is TRULY historic in these parts. I have tried THREE times to wait in the 2hour plus line at either the Slutty Vegan (SV) store or food truck. Thought I was slick by calling Door Dash, only to found out SV no longer participates with delivery services. I gave up on SV and returned to Soul Vegetarian on Atlanta’s west end. The food is delicious and the smoothie bar is on point.
Got it! TY. #activelyWorkingOnGaydar
I’m willing! SV looks so good. It also looks like something I can/will make at home. I just need it to touch my palate just one time and go from there. I bet they use Beyond Meat burger patties. I think I might follow Soul Vegetarian on IG. Or it could be Go Vegan. I can’t remember. I just love looking at their food. LOL
Ya never know… But yeah I heard from her exes side that she dabbled in the sea
Never heard it before ? I learn something new everyday! Thanks for the enlightenment
Follow Soul Vegetarian and Wadada (DIRECTLY across the street from Soul Vegetarian). I want to taste a Slutty Vegan burger, too. But I decided it was not worth my time to wait that DAMN long. lol
????
LMAO!!
Don’t do it Dirk. They write these bullshxt charges, let them look for you. The prosecutors and cops lie and lie and lie, fxckthemnxggas.
Enjoy. The generation behind you has a unique hell to redress.
It is no mistake or accident that we are trying to eradicate bonds/bail while reducing overcrowding; clearly cops, prosecutors , judges and attorneys erred in their judgement.
I wish he would cut dem damn blonde ass dreadz O_0
