DJ Akademiks is claiming Lil Durk has allegedly been receiving financial support from some of his high-profile celebrity friends while fighting his murder-for-hire case.
The Chicago rapper has completed the first full week of his trial, which saw former affiliate OTF Jam take the stand and testify about his alleged side of the story, including claims that Durk was the ringleader behind the crimes.
As the trial enter its second week, more witnesses are expected to take the stand as prosecutors continue presenting their case.
During a recent stream, Akademiks discussed several people he claims have supported Smurk while he’s been behind bars. According to Ak, Kanye West has allegedly contributed $250,000 toward Durk’s legal funds. He also claimed Drake has given $1 million for attorney Brian Steele to represent Durk.
Akademiks also named Lil Baby and 21 Savage as artists who have allegedly supported Durk. He claimed Wham contributed a smaller amount, sending between $5,000 and $10,000 toward Durk’s legal battle.
None of these financial claims have been confirmed, and they remain allegations.
With Durks trial continuing into its second week, the alleged support from some of Hip-Hop’s biggest names add another layer to the high-profile case.
