Lil Durk’s Father Big Durk Says He Refused To Snitch On Larry Hoover And Received Life Sentence

Lil Durk‘s father Big Durk claims he refused to snitch on Larry Hoover and received life sentence. Big Durk recently shared a clip narrating how the feds tried to bargain with him.

“You give us Larry, who would put you back on 26 and you’ll work for us,” Big Durk said recounting the ordeal.

“I would have my pocket poured out the car to my lawyer, spread it on the table and said call my lawyer. For me, you know. 26 years later, yeah. Freeman without telling, without compromising without being someone of not rats, stool pigeons,” he said.

Back in 2019, Lil Durk celebrated the release of his father, known as Big Durk. He tweeted at the time, “Big durk home !!!!,” and a photo of Durk out to eat with his father was circulating online.

Several years ago, Lil Durk, who was a baby when his father was sentenced, spoke about his father being in prison on Noisey’s “Chiraq” documentary.

He told them, “My daddy was one of the big guys. I seen a lot of it growing up…like I say, my head was just everywhere. I’m like man ‘I wanna be just like him.’ They say he got caught with like eight million dollars and like six bricks.”

Big Durk, a high-ranking member of the Gangster Disciples street gang, was sentenced to life in prison after he was convicted in 1994 of distributing crack-c—— throughout South Side Chicago.

A then-25-year-old Banks was labeled the ringleader of a criminal enterprise that included associates Robert Shipp, 21; and 25-year-old Mario Dunlap and Alton Mills, according to the Chicago Tribune.
