Following Lil Durk's arrest on charges of murder-for-hire on October 25, 2024, DJ Akademiks took to X on October 26, 2024, and reposted an old interview of the two.

The interview took place in 2023 wherein DJ Akademiks asked Lil Durk if he was triggered by the "slide for Von" comments that were posted by internet users as a means to ask the rapper if he was going to take revenge for King Von's death. King Von was shot in November 2020 and he was a part of Durk's hip hop group Only the Family (OTF).

Responding to DJ Akademiks' question about "slide for Von comments", Lil Durk said:

“For some reason I just don’t see them comments no more”

The video reposted by DJ Akademiks has garnered a lot of attention and internet users were quick to express their opinions on the same via X. Commenting on Durk's expression in the video, an X user tweeted:

"The look on his face says a lot. Pay attention"
"You can see the moment of realization on ak’s face 😳" an X user stated.
"Lil Durk's response was cold. 👀 Guess he’s focused on bigger things now." another X user mentioned.
"Exhibit A. Somebody posted druski “we got em” clip" an internet user commented.
"Bro dropped "AH HAA" for a reason. That had to be right after they killed his cousin." another internet user said.

Moreover, some internet users suggested that the rapper's response about not being able to see "slide for Von" comments was his indirect confession to having taken revenge for King Von:

"Broo I remember watching this interview & was like wtf was that moment…. Now I know why" an X user tweeted.
"So he was begging to go to jail" another X user mentioned.
"Let’s be real. He been telling on himself." an internet user commented.
