Lil Durk will remain behind bars after a judge once again denied him bond in connection to his ongoing legal battle surrounding a high-profile murder-for-hire case. The court made it clear that the Chicago rapper will not be released ahead of trial, citing the serious nature of the allegations and potential risk concerns.
Durk’s attorney took to social media to speak on the latest development, offering some context for fans and supporters. While the denial of bond is a setback, Durk did secure two key legal victories in court.

The prosecution’s request to use his rap lyrics as evidence was denied. A big win in an era where artists’ creative expressions are increasingly being used in legal settings.
This ruling follows similar cases in the music industry, where courts are beginning to limit the admissibility of lyrics as direct evidence of criminal behavior, in line with recent legislation like California’s Decriminalizing Artistic Expression Act.
His next court appearance is scheduled for August 14 2025.
