Lil Durk has responded to a report about his 2013 legal troubles.

Lil Durk has responded to a report from DJ Akademiks regarding his 2013 arrest. Akademiks shared paperwork from the time allegedly showing that Durk refused to pin a gun charge on a friend of his, despite working to become a star hip-hop artist at the time. In response, Durk commented on Akademiks' post, "Shhhhhhhhh."

"Lil durk paperwork from his 2013 arrest shows him unwilling to pin a gun on his homie despite the fact he was a huge star on the come up at that time," Akademiks captioned the paperwork. "He later resolved that case in court with his lawyer." Durk also shared the post on his Instagram Story with the caption, "Just shut the f#ck up and you good #thevoice2.0."

Lil Durk's Response

In response to Akademiks' post, many fans made reference to Gunna taking a plea deal in the YSL RICO case. "Gunna punching air right now," one user wrote. Another added: "Gunna needs to take notes." Lil Durk previously dissed Gunna after news broke that he took a plea deal. On a song teased on social media, Durk rapped, “What happened to Virgil? He probably gon’ tell. I let him go because Timo ain’t selling / Thank 7 and Booka I’m bragging on Melvin / When lil boo and them mad it ain’t nothing you can tell them / I can tell you what I did for the streets / you got the paperwork, did it and reached / I got on Clubhouse and got in the beef." Durk and Gunna both had once worked together on the song, “What Happened To Virgil."

Despite accepting the plea deal, Gunna and his legal team have said that the rapper intends to plead the fifth if called to testify. “While I have agreed to always be truthful, I want to make it perfectly clear that I have NOT made any statements, have NOT been interviewed, have NOT cooperated, have NOT agreed to testify or be a witness for or against any party in the case and have absolutely NO intention of being involved in the trial process in any way,” the rapper said in a statement.
