A notable message from Lil Durk to his manager was presented in court during the rapper’s murder-for-hire trial. In it, Durk names Quando Rondo and several others on what some observers have referred to as an “opp list.”
Alongside Rondo, Durk names Trina, NBA YoungBoy, Puke, Alexander Witherspoon, Buttercup, 6ix9ine, and even “the Feds” as people who “I hate and got some[thing] against me.”
Durk’s conflict with Rondo is central to the case. His feud with NBA YoungBoy has also been well documented, while 6ix9ine has repeatedly come up during the proceedings and previously mocked Durk for not seeking revenge over the death of his friend and labelmate, King Von. It remains unclear whether the “Trina” mentioned in the message is the rapper of that name.
The message, shared on Wednesday (Sept. 2), reads: “Trina, NBA YoungBoy, Quando Rondo, puke, the Feds, Buttercup, Alexander Weatherspoon. These the MFR I hate and got some against me, and 69.”
According to XXL, “Puke” is believed to refer to GG Puke, who has been linked to the death of Durk’s brother, Dontay “DThang” Banks.
In 2019, Durk and King Von were accused of shooting and robbing Alexander Weatherspoon of $30,000 in cash outside The Varsity restaurant in Atlanta. Durk faced several charges, including criminal attempt to commit murder, but the charges were ultimately dropped.
That 2019 incident could become relevant in Durk’s upcoming conspiracy trial, which is expected to take place after the current case concludes.
Durk is currently on trial over an alleged murder-for-hire plot targeting Quando Rondo in retaliation for the 2020 killing of King Von, who was signed to Durk’s label, Only the Family.
