FBG Duck’s Mom Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against Lil Durk Allowed To Proceed In Court

FBG Duck’s mother says that a court has ruled in her favor regarding her wrongful death lawsuit against Lil Durk for her son’s death. Duck’s mother, LaSheena Weekly, posted about the ruling on Instagram, writing, “The Ruling is in and my son gets his day in court. The court ruled we can continue our lawsuit against Lil Durk and the record labels! Our fight continues!!” “I want to thank My attorney Roosevelt Allen and his team for their exceptional work on this case,” she added. “Let’s Go!! #LongLiveDuck. In 2024, FBG Duck’s mother filed the lawsuit implicating Lil Durk and deceased rapper King Von as being involved in her son’s 2020 shooting death. In the lawsuit, she named not just the two rappers, but also the city of Chicago, Dolce & Gabbana, multiple private security firms, and six members of O Block. According to the lawsuit, Durk and the record labels knew Von “had a vendetta against FBG Duck and consistently sought to build a brand of violence and reality rap, based on committing real acts of violence on FBG Duck and the public at large.” “They understood that reality rap, violence, controversy, beefs and notoriety were good for driving increased record sales, streams and views, for building a brand and profiting from a violent image,” the suit continues. In August of 2020, Duck was shot and killed outside of Dolce & Gabbana in downtown Chicago. He was hit 16 times. “As a result [of the murder] Lil Durk, O Block, [and] OTF became international brands through social media and music streaming platforms and profited through podcasts, social media and music streaming,” the lawsuit states. “In essence they monetized the killing of FBG Duck.” This lawsuit couldn’t come at a worse time for Durk since he's behind bars preparing to go to trial for his murder-for-hire case this spring. A concrete date hasn’t been set since his defense team want to push the date from Jan. 20 to May 4.
