Following Lil Durk’s arrest on murder-for-hire charges, the Mayor of Broadview, Illinois has revoked his key to the city just one week after the rapper received it.
Lil Durk has had several run-ins with the police during his rap career. In December of 2022, Atlanta DA Fani Willis dropped charges against the rapper following the death of King Von.

Now according to Complex, in the wake of the rapper being arrested on murder-for-hire charges, his key to the city of Broadview has been revoked. This comes just one week after he received it.
“While the American system of justice grants everyone the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law, in the Village of Broadview, the court of public opinion of residents has even higher moral and ethical standards of behavior,” said Broadview Mayor Thompson in a statement.
As expected, Durk is presumed innocent, but the City would rather hand keys to those who would never find themselves in that situation in the first place. Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson revealed the partnership with Lil Durk’s nonprofit would also unfortunately come to an end.
“Given the news that Durk’ Lil Durk’ Banks has been arrested in Florida and charged with murder for hire, the Village of Broadview is withdrawing our honorary ‘key to the village’ granted to Durk and is terminating our partnership agreement with his youth organization, Neighborhood Heroes Foundation,” reads more of Broadview Mayor Thompson’s statement. As mayor, protecting Broadview’s interests and upholding the values of residents is job number one.”

Durk’s indictment is trickling out online following the arrest of several OTF members related to a 2022 shooting targeting Quando Rondo.

Authorities believe the shooting was retaliation for the murder of Chicago rapper King Von and the credit card used by the suspects in the retaliation was reportedly linked to Durk and OTF.
