50 Cent warned Lil Durk about the people he was running with before the young rapper was put behind bars.
In an interview with The Breakfast Club podcast, 50 Cent explained that while they were in New York working together, he offered Lil Durk some advice. He was introduced to Lil Durk’s Chicago-based group, Only The Family, but felt a bit uneasy about them. “I was like, ‘This is them? They the real shit?’ He was like, ‘Yeah, yeah.’ And I said, ‘Yo, just watch them.’ His crew,” 50 Cent explained.
With that comment, Lil Durk allegedly conceded that there might be something off about the group. According to 50 Cent, Lil Durk seemed to have a realization as he recalled a 2021 home invasion. 50 Cent added: “[Lil Durk] said, ‘You know what? Somebody just came to my house. How did they know exactly what my address is? Who has my address? Nobody.'”

His arrest was allegedly facilitated by an insider who is believed to have leaked information about the alleged conspiracy to law enforcement. In Lil Durk’s indictment, which was obtained by The Mirror, reference the existence of witnesses who claim to have been privy to information regarding the alleged plan.
The indictment says, “Based on evidence collected during the investigation, including the interview of witnesses, I know that BANKS put a monetary bounty out for an individual with whom BANKS was feuding named T.B.” Additionally, the document includes a footnote to specify that the witness’ identities were to remain confidential “due to serious safety concerns” as an investigators claim “that witnesses and/or their family members have already received threats and/or have been contacted in what appear to be attempts to influence their participation in this investigation.”
While the identity of the informant remains unknown, speculation that the OTF Jam, who is currently behind bars, might have had something to do with the police’s intervention. Hip hop reporter DJ Akademiks fueled this belief by making an Instagram post with Jam chomping down on McDonalds in an interrogation room.
