Lil Durk's life and career came tumbling down after he was arrested last week and charged with murder-for-hire.
Yesterday, his son Zayden Banks, who's reportedly 10 years old, defended his father on Instagram. But he probably had a little help from an adult.
[Instagram post not found]"I want to take a moment to stand up for my dad, Durk Banks," wrote Zayden next to a clip of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson talking about Durk's charges in a press conference. "He has always dedicated his life to uplifting others and giving back to our community through his nonprofit organization, Neighborhood Heroes. Beyond that, he is a great father who has always supported and loved our family unconditionally."
"Right now, he is facing challenges, but I want to affirm that he has not been convicted of any charges and remains innocent until proven otherwise," Zayden continued. "During this difficult time, I ask for your support for him and all the good he continues to do."
It's said that Durk hired a group of men to kill Quando Rondo to avenge King Von's death. Rondo's boy, Lul Tim, shot and killed Von in 2020 after a fight.
Maybe Zayden was inspired by Diddy's kids, who also posted a message defending their dad.
