Federal jurors in Los Angeles have acquitted rapper Lil Durk of all charges stemming from allegations that he orchestrated an attack on fellow artist Quando Rondo. After three days of deliberation, the jury delivered not-guilty verdicts on Friday, clearing Durk (real name Durk Banks) of conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, conspiracy to commit stalking, and related charges that carried potential life imprisonment.

The acquittal concludes Durk's legal battle that began with his 2024 federal arrest. Prosecutors had contended the alleged plot against Rondo was motivated by revenge, but the jury's verdict indicates they rejected those charges. With the acquittal on all counts, Durk has been fully exonerated in the proceedings.
