Lil Durk Caught With Apple Watch in Jail, Tried to Destroy It

Lil Durk was caught with an Apple Watch in jail and tried to destroy it over the summer season, authorities say.

On Monday (Oct. 6), the prosecution filed a movement within the rapper’s murder-for-hire case, requesting an nameless jury for the upcoming trial. The movement cites authorities discovering out that Durk was in possession of an Apple Watch in August and the numerous threat of witness tampering.

“In late August 2025, BOP officers seized an Apple Watch with mobile functionality from defendant,” the movement reads. “Much more troubling is Banks’ conduct after he was caught. Reasonably than settle for accountability for this violation, defendant allegedly obstructed the investigation making an attempt to wreck and/or destroy the communications gadget.”

This isn’t the primary time that Durk has been accused of breaking communications guidelines on the Metropolitan Detention Heart (MDC) in Los Angeles, the place he was extradited to from Florida final November. Final December, authorities accused Durk of constructing unregulated three-way calls.

Durk is at present awaiting trial after being arrested final October. Authorities have accused him of hiring 5 Chicago males to journey to California and homicide Quando Rondo in retaliation for the demise of King Von, who was killed by a Quando affiliate following a combat in Atlanta in 2020. Throughout the 2022 try on Quando’s life, his cousin, Saviay’a Robinson, was shot and killed as a substitute.

Durk’s trial is scheduled to begin on Jan. 6, 2026.
