50 Cent Has Faith In Lil Durk’s New Lawyer Amid Alleged Murder-For-Hire Case

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

It’s no secret that Lil Durk has quite the legal battle ahead of him. The Chicago rapper was arrested last month for alleged murder-for-hire conspiracy and more. He’s currently in custody in Los Angeles awaiting his trial, which is tentatively scheduled for January 7, 2025. Recently, he pleaded not guilty to the various charges against him. He did so with the help of Drew Findling, a lawyer who has previously represented the likes of Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka Flame, Lil Baby, Donald Trump, and more.

50 Cent Continues To Praise Drew Findling

This isn’t the first time 50 Cent has sung the praises of Drew Findling, however. In January, YFN Lucci was hit with a 10-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to one count of violating the street gang terrorism and Prevention Act followed by another 10 years of parole. Reportedly, however, he could be coming home much sooner than that. Lucci was represented by Findling, per 50 Cent’s recommendation, which ultimately worked out in his favor.

At the time, 50 Cent recalled speaking with Lucci’s mother about her concerns, hearing rumblings of a 20-year sentence, and more. “I started feeling shaky about this sh*t, I said ‘Oh, sh*t.’ I started feeling cr*zy,” he explained. “I go, ‘Drew, is this real? Like 20 motherf*cking years?’ And he said, ‘Don’t worry about it, I’ve got it.’ […] Next thing you know, 20 years turned into four months. […] You need a lawyer motherf*cker? You need Drew Findling.“
