The Mayor of Chicago,
Brandon Johnson
, had the opportunity to distance himself from
Lil Durk
during a press conference, and didn’t. When asked for a reaction to Durk’s charges for a murder-for-fire plot on Quando Rondo, Mayor Johnson opted to zone in on the work the rapper has done in his hometown. Since then,
reportedly belonging to Lil Durk’s son,
Zayden Banks
, has shared a message thanking the mayor for his neutral support.

As previously reported, Durk made his first court appearance on Friday (Oct. 25) in Miami federal court. His charges are in connection to conspiracy to use interstate facilities to commit murder-for-hire that resulted in death. His dad declined to talk to the press outside of the courtroom afterward. Pre-trial detention will be discussed at the next unscheduled hearing in California, but transfer dates are unclear at this point.
