Talk:Lil Durk

Our law firm The Baldonado Group, P.C. represents Lil Durk, and his correct legal name is Durk Davontay Banks. Unfortunately it seems that all publicly available digital sources reinforce the incorrect name, most likely because it has been incorrect on Wikipedia for so long. I cannot find a source to support my claim, but would really appreciate if an editor could contact me so we could get this sorted expeditiously. In the interim, please remove the incorrect middle name. Thank you. Thebaldonadogroup (talk) 15:53, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

I have removed the middle name after verifying it was incorrectly added in 2019 without any sources. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 19:10, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

He should not have two murder for hire charges on there as of this moment, only one. The connection was brought up in court as another reason so that he should not have been granted bail. It was only brought up but he was never charged for it; yet.

 Not done: The article didn't say that he was charged, it just mentioned the new case and his link to it and how it affected his bail request. The recent development has been covered by numerous reliable sources, and is notable enough to warrant a mention in our article. I improved the sourcing with a Chicago Tribune article, explicitly mentioned that he has yet to be charged in the newer case, and adjusted the paragraph to closer match the sources.

Murder for hire x2 is incorrect. He is only being charged for murder for hire x 1. 19112c (talk) 18:22, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Charges: murder for hire times 2 needs to be corrected to murder for hire times 1 19112c (talk) 18:23, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

 Not done: A request similar to this was made in December and was denied. The sourcing clearly shows that prosecutors are claiming there is 2nd case of murder-for-hire involving Banks. Whether or not it's true is for the courts and/or a jury to decide, but sourcing is sufficient to say there are 2 charges. —Sirdog (talk) 23:27, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Change: "On November 6, 2020, Lil Durk's affiliate King Von was killed in Atlanta."

To: "On November 6, 2020, Lil Durk's affiliate and fellow rapper King Von was fatally shot outside a nightclub in Atlanta."

Reason: Improves clarity by specifying the manner and setting of the incident. PopBioContributor (talk) 07:24, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Lil Durk. (edit · history · last · links · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y". The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
