Lil Durk Awaits Bail Decision After Murder-for-Hire Acquittal

Rapper Lil Durk could be released on bail after being acquitted of murder-for-hire charges in September.

During a Wednesday hearing, a federal judge weighed whether the Chicago rapper poses a flight risk ahead of a second trial on racketeering-related charges next summer.

Durk's attorneys are offering his future music royalties as bond, with support letters from Jay-Z and J. Cole.

Prosecutors oppose his release, citing concerns he could flee the country.

The judge has not yet ruled on the request.
