Rapper Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Devontay Banks, has been arrested in South Florida on a murder-for-hire charge, according to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.

Records indicate he is being held by the U.S. Marshals Service.

The 32-year-old Chicago rapper won a Grammy earlier this year for best melodic rap performance for “All My Life” with J. Cole. His albums ‘The Voice’, released in 2020, and ‘7220’, released in 2022, both went platinum. His latest album would be released next month.

Durk is one of the most popular drill rap artists, a controversial hip-hop subgenre that started in Chicago and was popularized by rappers such as Durk and Chief Keef, Fredo Santana and G Herbo. It is known for its often violent lyrics and its connection to Chicago’s gang culture.
