Despite his serious legal drama, Durk managed to post bail but has had to follow strict restrictions.
A judge has granted Lil Durk bond in a case that finds the rapper facing attempted murder charges, Atlanta’s ABC affiliate WSB-TVreports. Durk’s attorney Manny Arora tells Pitchfork that the conditions of Durk’s $250,000 bond are that his client cannot be near weapons, he cannot have contact with anybody involved in the case, and that he he has a curfew that requires him home between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Arora told TMZ that he expects Durk to post bond and get released from jail tomorrow, June 21.
