Lil Durk was in an Atlanta courtroom for a bond hearing on Thursday morning (June 20). Although a judge initially denied bond for the incarcerated rapper, Durk was finally allowed to post $250,000 to secure his release from jail, according to WSB-TV.
He won’t be on house arrest, but the judge laid out several conditions Durk will have to follow.
For starters, he’ll have a curfew from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. local time, need to wear an ankle monitor at all times, is prohibited from having any contact — direct or indirect — with gang members, can’t be near or possess any weapons and must stay at least 200 yards away from the victim.
Durk and a co-defendant are accused of shooting a 23-year-old man outside of The Varsity in Atlanta four months ago.
He turned himself in on May 30 after wrapping up his most recent tour. In an exclusive interview with WSB-TV, Durk maintained his innocence.
“I have nothing to hide,” he said. “I have nothing to run from. We found out we had a warrant actually while on tour. Once I heard, I immediately came back.”
Attorney Manny Arora says he’s expected to be out of jail on Friday (June 21).
Durk faces five felony charges, including criminal intent to commit murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during commission of a felony, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and another charge of associating with a criminal street gang to participate in a crime.

An Atlanta police detective presented some potentially damaging evidence in Lil Durk’s attempted murder case.
According to WSB-TV Atlanta, the Chicago-born rapper was in court on Friday (June 14) when the detective said they have video of Durk shooting a man near The Varsity while he was driving.
Shortly before 2 p.m. local time, the judge found probable cause for Durk and his co-defendant to be charged with “possession and criminal intent to commit murder among other charges” as explained in a tweet from WSB-TV reporter Lori A. Wilson.

Shortly after a warrant was issued for Lil Durk’s arrest, the Chicago-bred rapper surrendered to Georgia authorities.
According to a tweet from WSB-TV’s Michael Seiden, Durk turned himself in on Thursday (May 30) around 9 p.m. local time. His first court appearance was on Friday (May 31).
Before Durk surrendered, he did an exclusive interview with WSB-TV and proclaimed his innocence.
“I have nothing to hide,” he said. “I have nothing to run from. We found out we had a warrant actually while on tour. Once I heard, I immediately came back.”
When blatantly asked if he shot the victim, Durk said, “Um, no.”
Legal docs stated Durk has been charged with criminal attempt to commit murder, aggravated assault (shooting at), unlawful for person employed by/associated with criminal street gang to conduct/participate in criminal gang activity, possession of firearm during commission of a felony and possession of firearm by convicted felon.
The charges originate from a February 5 shooting at The Varsity restaurant in Atlanta where a 23-year-old man suffered multiple gunshot wounds.
Durk remains in Fulton County Jail after his bond was reportedly denied.

A warrant has reportedly been issued for Lil Durk’s arrest. TMZ reports the Atlanta Police Department says officers have obtained the warrant, but Durk isn’t in police custody — yet.
The Interscope Records rapper shared a somewhat cryptic Instagram post on Wednesday (May 29), indicating he was turning himself into police. He didn’t provide any further details.
According to WSB-TV Atlanta, officers responded to reports of a person shot around 5:45 a.m. local time on February 5 at The Varsity restaurant, where they discovered a man suffering from a gunshot wound.
Officers recovered 13 shell casings from a rifle and pistol at the scene as well as a firearm. They believe at least 18 shots were fired.
The 23-year-old shooting victim was rushed to Atlanta Medical Center where he underwent surgery. He survived.
Police interviewed two witnesses who said the victim appeared to be in a verbal dispute with an unknown black male before the shooting. Officers have the surveillance footage and are looking for a dark-colored SUV seen leaving the area.
Durk has yet to turn himself over to authorities. The investigation is ongoing and it’s unclear how the LilDurk2x creator is involved.
Keep ya head Lil Durk!! I’m cool with cats he run with out of the Chi! VL ViceLord and Latin Kings. Dude got what he deserve. I hope they don’t pen this on you fam!! Be aware of the snitches.
Imagine being this retarded
Man you need to stop fucking your daddys dick and move out
Oh, so they recovered shell casings from a rifle, a pistol AND a firearm? lol
ROFL… My thoughts exactly!!!
18 shots fired and he still lives? No wonder you fuckin morons need 100 round clips thats what it takes for 1 shot to be lethal
Big surprise another black being a menace to society, I hope this Dindu doesn’t see the light of day ever again.
Someone please get these racists off this site
It’s silly thay you responded with the name Affirmative Action, since that is another example of racism. It’s hiring, or not hiring people based on skin color.
But, they won’t delete racist comments here, because it is how they divide and conquer. A United people is not in their best interests. If you understood the internet, you’d also know: DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS. Your and my comments give them gratification. I would know… I was once an internet troll when I was younger lol.
Just a play on words with irony
Haha I feel you.
Explain the New York City statistics on entry into Stuyvesant High School, even with a virtue signaling admissions board like 1 of you get accepted every year. Lol at the loser race
Lol just another stupid person speaking on black people in an ill Manor
I believe you meant manner? Is the statement borderline racist? Yeah, but it’s true enough. Some black kid just killed someone in Chicago right now as you’re reading this.
If you feel this way why are you on this site? Do you even listen to hip hop or are you just here to troll?
I love hip hop, infact I love Fhief Keef. But I don’t want that guy living near me. I’ll stream his shit and I’ll even buy a hard copy but no I support him from a distance I would never attend a Chief Keef show.
Chief Keef is a trash rapper and you sound like a slave owner or an owner of an NBA team which is almost the same thing…yeah I support my slavesplayers but they are beneath me. You have the mentality of a white supremist
Loooool great analogy. I always found it puzzling how white people can feel the way they do about us and still listen to our music and root for us in sports when we clearly dominate both areas. There’s a thin line between love and hate and that thin line is called jealousy
Same way you buy into white money. Same way you sell out your race by race mixing with white girls. Same way you bitching, you the one getting played.
Same dumb ass way you mix races. Selling out the black race. Same way you claim streets you will never own and die own. Same shit. Same way you buy Nike to this day when it has always been a white thing. Quit being lazy and do your fucking research.
Lil Dork at it again
You beat me too it old friend 🙂
Is they a transgender..?
And the cycle continues. Who were his parents? I swear, most bad men and women come from homes with terrible, scumbag parents. Break the cycle!
he dinduit?
Yo knowz my niqqa dindunuffin, Amerikkka just tripping and shitz they haters hating a young rich niqqa.
Nah. What happened is that a young cat that’s making ACTUAL moves and money, stayed involved with street shit like an idiot and got caught on camera pulling a trigger himself. That’s nothing to do with “amerikkka” and everything to do with him being stupid and not moving on from the streets once he started to blow.
Way to go blondie.
Wonder how Durk and King Von gonna do in those GA prisons packed with GD’s??? Ain’t to many BD’s in GA…. This could get interesting.
So basically, what i’m getting from the comments is if you support Lil Durk they just gonna bust on you. Then they get off topic and talk about pulling up. I’m confused? Ya’ll cant show support?
Yeah basically Durk is an animal and should be treated as such
Not to a garbage rapper
This is my thing!! None of us know what happened or if he did it or not. I don’t understand why some rappers making money can’t keep your hands clean. Another thing when are some of these kids gonna realize there’s camera EVERYWHERE especially now these days. Hold your head durk but if you did it that was a dumb move on your behalf.
Killing someone is a bit worse than a “dumb move” lol.
The person is not dead!!! He was shot in his legs
You’re right. Everyone responds and don’t know anything. The victim got shot and is still alive. Durk can’t go near the victim as part of his bond conditions(means the victim is still alive).
well they do say, Blondes Bitches have more fun, dont drop the soap Durkio
So is this the way gangsta a rap will end?
Idk who is more stupid lil Durk, Kodak Black or NBA YoungBoy.
Inserts
epic fail with the blond hair disguise
Look like he under the same mk ultra they put kanye on and Kevin gates. The blonde hair is linked to demolition man go back and watch Wesley snipes was under mk ultra in the film along with the blonde hair
LOL stfu with that nonsense
yea except he bleached his hair blonde after the shooting dumb ass
You can’t be a rapper/businessman while also still trying to do street/gangster shit. You going to end up dead or in prison while throwing your career and freedom away. Lock his azz up for being a dumbazzz
The look in his eye when they handed down the indictment says it all he look scared as fuck. Bein a shooter is preeety cool
Motherfucker with those dumbass hairdos your sportin and the stupid ass clothes you wear im sure they got you dead to rights on camera
yea right, & how stupid are u to not know that people change their hair color after they are involved in a crime .
ever heard of a disguise? u moron. u thought he had bright blond hair when he did the shooting & that he didnt change his hair color to try to throw off police fukin idiot
All you people calling him an idiot did you ever stop to think that maybe just maybe he dindunuffin?
Not many people with that hairstyle. If they say they got him the evidence must be substantial.
