Lil Durk, his record label Only The Family and the estate of his late patron King Von have been sued by LaSheena Weekly, mother of late rapper FBG Duck, in connection with her son’s 2020 murder .
Legal documents obtained by TMZ show the lawsuit filed Wednesday in Cook County, Illinois, claims that Durk, Von and their management companies caused FBG Duck’s death and profited from violence during a gang feud that led to his death. The two people injured in the shooting that killed Duck are also plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
FBG Duck, real name Carlton Weekly, was shot 16 times from a car while shopping in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood in August 2020. The murder was committed during an ongoing feud between O Block and Tookaville and caused a stir in the Chicago area.
According to a post on Music Xclusives, the legal complaint claims that King Von, who was killed only three months after Duck, placed a $100,000 reward on Duck’s life.
It further accuses Lil Durk of condoning and profiting from Von’s violent actions, claiming he approved bounties and helped promote a brand of “reality rap” based on gang conflicts beyond real life.
The lawsuit further states that “Lil Durk planned, illegally committed, and paid a reward for FBG Duck’s life.”
Furthermore, it argued that the major record labels that signed Von enabled and profited from the violence. King Von’s song “Took Her To The O”, a reference to Duck, went triple platinum, further plunging the music industry into tragedy.
Alamo Records, Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group affiliated with Interscope Records and Empire Distribution are also defendants in the lawsuit.
The city of Chicago is also named as a defendant, with the lawsuit claiming that police and paramedics provided inadequate care to Duck.
Representatives for Lil Durk and the record labels have not yet commented on the lawsuit.
In January 2024, six men were convicted of Duck’s murder.
