Chicago rapper Lil Durk can breathe a huge sigh of relief as reports claim he appeared in court to address a past gun possession arrest and avoided doing time behind bars. #luckydurk
After agreeing to plead guilty, Durk caught a break in an Illinois court Tuesday (August 5).
Prosecutors had recommended Durk, whose real name is Durk Banks, receive at least 1 year in prison or a term of intensive probation, but Judge Joseph Kazmierski, Jr. sentenced him to 18 months of probation and gave him credit for 43 days he spent in jail. “The key word is I’ll be staying out of trouble,” Banks, who was dressed all in black and vowed not be back in court again, told a Tribune reporter after court. “You can put a capital N – for never.” (Chicago Tribune)
Aside from the court appearance, Durk recently revealed he had no issues with one-time rap rival Tyga.
He is focused on squashing beefs with his former enemies to put all his effort into music. “That sh*t ain’t sh*t in my eyes. I’m working. We ain’t beefing with nobody,” he says of his recent feud with Tyga. “I gotta stay in that light where people will see me and hear me. And not be scared of me, you know?” (XXL Mag)
A few days prior, Durk revealed how he came face-to-face with West Coast rapper Game to end their problems.
“The whole club scene was just like a standoff. Like, “I’m holding my ground.” And they’re like, “I’m holding my ground too.” Some people don’t do it like that. Some people rather not walk up to somebody in the club and do it. I heard plenty of times people ran from him. So I was just standing my ground. Where I’m from we don’t run. Especially for us being in another city on the come up. We can’t let nobody do that to us. You know? So we took it upon ourselves – We didn’t approach them like, “You h*e a** n*gga. F*k wrong with you?” We just hollered at him like we just wanted to see what it is, see where we standing.” (Power 106 FM)
Game broke the big news across social media network Twitter last month.
“My Big homie “G Weed” put @lildurk_ on the phone wit me. Sh*t is DEAD ! We chopped it up like REAL N*GGAS & both sides respect each other.,” Game tweeted June 29. (Game’s Twitter)
