Your information will be used according to our Privacy Policy. The high-stakes legal saga surrounding rapper Lil Durk continues to play out as the rap star gears up for a trial in January 2025. On Tuesday (December 3), Durk’s co-defendant, Kavon London Grant, aka “Cuz,” filed a motion in federal court to protect potentially dangerous case evidence. Ezoic Grant’s legal team requested a protective order, citing concerns that unregulated access to sensitive information could put witnesses, victims, defendants and those prepared to testify at serious risk. “This case involves significant safety concerns regarding disclosure of names and personal identifying information of victims, witnesses, and defendants,” Grant’s attorney, Peter C. Swarth, explained. Ezoic Among the evidence at issue are graphic crime scene photographs, autopsy reports, and statements from protected witnesses, which prosecutors say could lead to retaliation or intimidation if improperly disclosed. Swarth emphasized the need for strict limits on who can access the materials due to the volatile nature of the case. The legal battle stems from the August 2022 killing of Lul Pab, born Saviay’a Robinson, a cousin of rapper Quando Rondo, in West Hollywood, California. Ezoic Prosecutors allege that Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Banks, orchestrated the murder as a retaliatory strike for the 2020 killing of King Von, a close associate of Durk’s Only The Family (OTF) crew. King Von was fatally shot in Atlanta by Timothy “Lul Tim” Leeks, an affiliate of Quando Rondo. According to federal indictments, Durk offered money and “lucrative music opportunities” as incentives for Robinson’s murder, deepening a long-standing feud between the two rap factions. Grant is one of five alleged OTF members arrested in connection with the case, alongside Durk himself. The other suspects— Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey, and Asa Houston—face charges of conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, murder-for-hire resulting in death, and the use of a machine gun in a violent crime. Federal investigators claim that credit cards tied to OTF’s music label were used to pay for travel, rental cars, and other logistical elements of the alleged plot, pointing to a coordinated effort to carry out the crime. The protective order motion reflects the intense scrutiny and danger surrounding the case. Prosecutors and defense attorneys jointly filed the motion, agreeing to safeguard evidence without compromising the defendants’ ability to prepare for trial. Lil Durk, who was arrested in October 2024 in South Florida, has pleaded not guilty and remains in federal custody. He faces life in prison if convicted. Share AllHipHop |

Young Money Sued Because Lil Wayne's a Bad Sport!!!

Lil Wayne had a front row seat watching Floyd Mayweather beat Manny Pacquiao. He also watched the Ravens beat the 49ers in the 2013 Super Bowl. He even watched the finals of the NCAA Women's Tourney. And he stiffed the ticket brokers ... allegedly. Tickets of America and White Glove International claim Wayne got $119,400 worth of tickets and never paid a cent. According to the lawsuit, Wayne got tickets for the following events: -- Mayweather vs. Pacquiao $67,500 -- Super Bowl XLVII $14,000 -- MTV Video Music Awards $4,000 -- Heat vs. Hawks $11,000 -- Lakers vs. Rockets $11,100 -- Clippers vs. Rockets $11,300 And this is sad ... NCAA Women's Basketball Final Four -- a measly $500. The suit claims Wayne got the tickets between February 2013 and June 2015. The suit names Young Money and Wayne's manager, Cortez Bryant, but not the rapper himself. We reached out to Wayne. So far no word back.

NYPD Turns Back On Mayor, Again

After thousands of NYPD cops turned their backs on Mayor Bill de Blasio during the funeral of fallen officer Rafael Ramos, many were criticized for the perceived disrespect of Ramos who was slain by a mentally challenged man on December 20. Yet during the recent funeral for Wenjian Liu, the second officer killed during the attack, many within the NYPD was seen doing it again, despite pleas from police commissioner William Bratton not to do so. Officers claim that the Mayor failed to come to their defense following a recent wave of anti-cop sentiments, resulting in a bitter rift between the two. With his back to the mayor, one officer said: “I can’t stand even looking at him. He has no friends here.”
