Rapper Lil Durk's track Wonderful Wayne and Jackie Boy in collaboration with Babyface Ray will reportedly be used as evidence in court to prove he allegedly conspired to kill Quando Rondo. Durk, born Durk Devontay Banks, was arrested on October 24, 2024, on murder-for-hire charges.
Wonderful Wayne and Jackie Boy is a 2022 track by Lil Durk and Babyface Ray from the latter's album, MOB. The track does not mention any names. However, the lyrics allegedly talk about street violence and seeing one's son screaming in the news. In the final minutes of the track, Durk raps:
"Got location (go, go)/ Green light (go, go, go, go, go)/Look on the news and see your son, you screamin', "No, no" (pu**y)/And all them ni**as hangin' with 'em, if you know, you know."
On October 24, Banks was taken into custody by federal agents for murder-for-hire charges. The rapper's arrest came after five other associates of his record label, OTF (Only The Family), were also arrested on charges of murder-for-hire and murder-for-conspiracy.
The arrests were reportedly made in relation to the 2022 murder of rapper Quando Rondo's cousin, Saviay'a Robinson. Durk and his associates were also reportedly charged with conspiring to murder Quando Rondo.
Why were Lil Durk and his associates arrested in October 2024?

Rapper Lil Durk was arrested on October 24, 2024, on alleged murder-for-hire charges. His arrest followed the arrest of five of his associates from his record label, Only The Family. The members reportedly face charges of being co-conspirators in the 2022 murder-for-hire plot of Quando Rondo, which led to the death of the rapper's cousin, Saviay'a Robinson.
FBI agent Sarah Corcoran gave testimony against Durk and his associates, which was used as the basis to file an affidavit in the federal court. According to Forbes, the affidavit claimed that Durk had placed a bounty on Rondo's life. The document also allegedly cited anonymous witnesses and included evidence such as flight tickets and credit card details. These evidences allegedly prove that certain purchases were made using credit cards associated with Durk's OTF label.
According to the affidavit, the alleged 2022 murder plot targeting Quando Rondo was reportedly planned as a revenge for the death of rapper King Von in 2020. Von, an associate of Lil Durk, was shot dead outside a hookah bar in Atlanta in November 2020. He was allegedly killed by Rondo's associates. One of Rondo's confidantes, Timothy "Lul Tim" Leeks, was reportedly charged with Von's murder.
The prosecutors claimed in the affidavit that the five OTF members under custody had traveled to Los Angeles in 2022 to murder Rondo as retaliation to Von's death. However, the plan allegedly led to the murder of Robinson, Rondo's cousin, who was a fellow passenger in the car.
The US District Attorney's office also alleged that Lil Durk tried to escape the country ahead of his arrest in October 2024. The rapper reportedly had booked tickets to Italy, Switzerland, and Dubai but did not board any of them. The indictment filed in Los Angeles also charges Durk's five associates with the use of a machine gun resulting in death alongside murder-for-hire and murder-for-conspiracy charges.
