Here is what the page “Lil Durk’s Second Racketeering Trial Delayed to 2027 After Murder-for-Hire Acquittal” contains. Grammy-winning rapper Lil Durk, whose legal name is Durk Banks, will face a second federal racketeering trial in 2027, a judge ruled this week.

The new trial date pushes the proceedings more than two years out, prolonging a legal saga that has shadowed the rapper’s career.

The second case, filed in Los Angeles, alleges Lil Durk’s record label, Only the Family, operated as a criminal enterprise involved in violence and fraud.
