FBG Butta is raising pointed questions about why Lil Durk remained free for months after an alleged co-conspirator reportedly named him in a murder-for-hire case, calling the situation suspicious and drawing a direct comparison to how law enforcement handled a similar allegation involving Yo Gotti.
Butta’s central argument is straightforward. If the person authorities arrested had told investigators that Durk ordered and paid for a killing, the evidence against Durk should have been enough to bring him in.
They say Shorty flat out told they man Durk told me do that and he paid me to do it,” he said, describing what he understood the cooperating witness to have told law enforcement. Showing receipts like this gave me real money to get this man down.
What Butta finds difficult to reconcile is the timeline. By his account, roughly three months passed between the moment that testimony surfaced and Durk walking free, even collecting a Grammy in the interim. “He just won a Grammy a week or 2 weeks ago,” he said. “Why is it this man not in jail?”
To sharpen the point, Butta pointed to the Yo Gotti situation as a contrast. When Gotti’s name allegedly came up in a related matter, he said, police moved immediately.
“When Yo Gotti name was allegedly brought up from higher, they went and grabbed Yo Gotti right away,” he said. “
Yo Gotti booking shot was posted all over the internet.” The speed of that arrest, in Butta’s view, makes Durk’s continued freedom harder to explain.
Butta also made the contrast personal. He said that when his own name surfaced in connection with law enforcement, he was picked up quickly and over far less serious allegations.
“They came and got me for some petty because my name got brought up,” he said, suggesting the standard applied to him was not being applied equally.
He stopped short of offering a firm explanation for the discrepancy, briefly entertaining the idea of backroom dealings before pulling back from it.
What he kept returning to was the basic question of consistency. A named suspect, documented payments, a cooperating witness, and still no arrest. For Butta, that combination does not add up.
Durk has since been arrested and charged in connection with the murder-for-hire case, which Butta’s comments now appear to have foreshadowed.
At the time he spoke, he framed the delay not as proof of innocence but as something worth scrutinizing, particularly given how swiftly the system had moved against others in comparable circumstances.
