Rick Ross is calling out the lack of public support for Lil Durk at Rolling Loud California. The festival, held in Los Angeles over the weekend, featured performances from major artists like Playboi Carti, A$AP Rocky, YG, Sexyy Red, and Quavo. However, according to Rozay, none of them took the time to acknowledge Durk’s current situation.
In a video posted to his Instagram Stories on Monday, March 17th, Ross questioned why no one shouted out Durk during their sets. “How many n***as screamed ‘free Durk’ at that Rolling Loud? How many?” he asked his followers. He then switched gears, advising young Black men to consider trades like plumbing or construction before circling back to his main point. “How many people said ‘free Lil Durk’ at Rolling Loud? Exactly.”
Lil Durk has been behind bars since October after being arrested on murder-for-hire charges connected to the 2022 killing of Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson, the cousin of Quando Rondo. The Chicago rapper was denied bail due to reported misconduct while in jail, including alleged misuse of the phone system despite clear restrictions.
Authorities accuse Durk of financing Lul Pab’s murder as retaliation for the 2020 death of his close friend and collaborator, King Von, who was killed in an altercation with Quando Rondo’s crew. Prosecutors claim that flights and rental cars for the five suspects involved in the shooting were paid for using a credit card linked to Durk’s OTF label.
Durk is facing the possibility of life in prison, with the death penalty still on the table. His trial, initially scheduled earlier, was postponed to October due to the case’s complexities, including reports that one of the defendants may be negotiating a plea deal.
