FBG Duck’s mother, Lasheena Weekly, along with two survivors of the shooting that took her son’s life, filed a lawsuit on Wednesday (October 9) against Lil Durk, the estate of King Von, OTF (Only The Family), and others. The 230-page suit accuses Lil Durk and King Von of conspiring to murder FBG Duck, who was killed in Chicago in 2020.
The lawsuit alleges that Lil Durk, along with his late brother DThang, both executives at OTF, were aware of and complicit in King Von placing a $100,000 bounty on FBG Duck’s life. It also claims that they participated in the plan to murder him or aided in covering up the crime.
The lawsuit goes further, accusing Lil Durk of contributing to ongoing criminal activities by signing O-Block gang members to his label. OTF is described as using threats, intimidation, and the promotion of violent “reality rap” to control Chicago’s drill music scene.
Several major record labels—Alamo Records, Sony Music, and Universal Music Group—are also named in the lawsuit. It claims these companies profited from the violent imagery and the murder of FBG Duck, stating they “salivated over the profit garnered by the depiction and eventual killing” of the rapper.
FBG Duck was gunned down outside a Chicago retail store in August 2020. Six O-Block gang members were convicted for their involvement in the murder, which, according to the lawsuit, was carried out under orders from Lil Durk and King Von.
The suit further alleges that after FBG Duck’s death, Lil Durk, OTF, and King Von glorified the killing on social media and streaming platforms for financial gain. The lawsuit argues that they used the murder to bolster the brands of Lil Durk, OTF, and O-Block, turning them into global names while profiting through music, podcasts, and social media content. In essence, the plaintiffs claim the killing was monetized and used to grow their criminal enterprise.
Weekly, along with Davon Brinson and FBG Duck’s girlfriend, Cashae Williams, is seeking damages for wrongful death, civil conspiracy, and negligence. The lawsuit also lists the City of Chicago, Dolce & Gabbana, and its security firms as defendants, broadening the scope of those allegedly responsible for the tragedy.
