Bad Boy Records' French Montana made sure to show some love to newly released rapper Lil Durk after he spent a short bid behind bars last month on a weapons charge.
French welcomed the Chicago rapper back and revealed an Instagram photo.
“shout to my dawwg @lildurk_ fresh home to this money #CokeBoys !!,” French tweeted July 18.

Durk announced his release via Twitter and made sure to inform hip-hop artists like DJ Drama of his return.
“I’m back b*tch yea I’m back b*tch did you miss me or u ain’t care b*tch…..I’m free,” Durk tweeted July 18.

Initial reports suggested Durk would receive his first taste of freedom last month.
Chicago rapper Lil Durk was recently arrested on a weapons charge after being caught by the police with a loaded .40 caliber handgun. This was a second offense, but Fake Shore Drive reports that he will be able to bond out and be a free man this upcoming June 19th. The delay until then accounts for his having to fulfill a prior sentence. Look out for more news on Durk as his release date approaches, and until then, watch the video for “Dis Ain’t What U Want,” his lead single from the upcoming album, Signed To The Streets. If Durk’s release is anything like that of his GBE colleague Chief Keef, we certainly have a lot to look forward to. (Complex)
Durk’s attorney previously said another man claimed responsibility for the weapon charge.
Durk Banks, who is known as Lil Durk, tossed the stolen loaded automatic handgun into the backseat of a parked Hyundai Sonata when he spotted officers in the 7200 block of South Green Street early Wednesday morning, authorities said. But prominent defense attorney Sam Adam Jr. said another man, Clarence January, copped to having the Glock. January, a 20-year-old convicted felon, told police “this is my gun” and that he, not Banks, had the weapon, an affidavit signed by January said. “He [January] tried to tell the officers at the time [that it was his gun] but they took the defendant anyway,” Adam told Cook County Judge Maria Kuriakos Ciesil Thursday. Kuriakos Ciesil said she had to take into consideration the allegations prosecutors presented against Banks as well as his criminal past. The judge ordered Banks, 20, held in lieu of $100,000 bail for unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. (Chicago Sun-Times)
