Chicago rapper Lil Durk was arrested in Florida on October 24, facing serious murder-for-hire charges.
According to federal documents, Durk’s arrest follows the recent detainment of five alleged affiliates of his hip-hop group, Only the Family (OTF), who are accused of being involved in a murder-for-hire scheme linked to the 2022 death of Saviay’a "Lul Pab" Robinson, the cousin of rapper Quando Rondo. Authorities believe Rondo was the intended target of the alleged plot, reportedly planned as retaliation for the 2020 death of King Von, a close friend of Lil Durk.
Shortly after Durk’s arrest, a central figure emerged in the case: OTF member Jam, who, as revealed in court documents, reportedly cooperated with law enforcement by wearing a hidden wire for several years, gathering evidence that allegedly implicates Durk.

Jam, released from prison in 2022 after serving 12 years for attempted murder, reportedly provided information directly linking Durk to the murder-for-hire plot targeting Rondo. This apparent betrayal within OTF has drawn significant attention, as Jam’s covert role has sparked widespread speculation and debate within the hip-hop community.
Amid Lil Durk's arrest, a 2023 interview with OTF Jam has resurfaced. In the interview with DJ Jerry, Jam opened up about his long-standing relationship with Durk and the support he received while incarcerated. “I remember Durk was making rap songs for our parties,” Jam reminisced, describing how Durk’s music became a fixture in their community gatherings.
Meanwhile, the rapper’s recent recognition in Chicago has taken an unexpected turn. Durk was honored with the keys to the Chicago villages of Broadview and Bellwood on October 18, with Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson initially celebrating his contributions to the community.
However, on October 25, Thompson announced the village’s withdrawal of the key and termination of the partnership with Durk’s charitable foundation, citing his legal challenges. This decision, announced via Facebook, has added to the turmoil surrounding Durk as he navigates his current legal battles.
