Lil Durk's legal team contests use of music video in trial

Lawyers for rapper Lil Durk are contesting a prosecution attempt to introduce his music video for ‘Pissed Me Off’ as evidence in an upcoming murder-for-hire trial. Prosecutors argue the video and song serve as evidence that the rapper was preparing to retaliate following the death of his associate, King Von.

Durk’s legal team has filed motions to prevent music videos from being used as evidence, arguing that the prosecution's request contains errors. The defense has stated they would only permit such evidence under two specific conditions: if an individual allegedly rewarded for a crime appears in the video, or if the video establishes a relationship between Durk and a co-defendant.
