💣NEW INFO EXPLODES: DJ Akademiks Breaks Down Lil Durk’s Alleged Revenge Moves After Brother’s Murder – FBI INVOLVED!🚔

Lil Durk’s pain was real—and the streets felt it.

But what many didn’t know was that federal investigators had already been quietly collecting data, linking Durk’s inner circle to a web of retaliation that was about to unravel.

DJ Akademiks broke down the entire case in a recent deep dive, revealing how FBI and ATF agents pieced together one of the most intricate revenge plots tied to a high-profile murder in hip hop.

It all begins with the 2021 slaying of Dante Banks Jr.

, better known as DThang—Lil Durk’s brother—outside a Harvey, Illinois nightclub.

Initially dismissed as just another tragic gang-related death, things took a sharp turn when confidential informants and forensic evidence suggested this wasn’t random—it was a targeted hit, and someone was

ready to get back in blood.

Enter Anthony “AJ” Montgomery, an alleged shooter and confirmed member of the Mike City faction of the Black Disciples, the same gang Durk is historically linked with.

Alongside him, Preston “Marley” Powell, also tied to Mike City BD.

Together, they executed a brutal hit in January 2022, taking out a key figure: Stefan Mack, reportedly connected to the rival GD set believed to be behind DThang’s murder.

According to Akademiks, surveillance footage was the first clue.

Captured at a youth peace center where Mack had gone that day, cameras show a black Chrysler lingering in the lot for nearly an hour.

At 2:59 p.m., Mack exits the building—seconds later, two masked shooters, AJ and Marley, open fire.

One with a Ruger AR-556 rifle, the other trailing close behind.

Despite their disguises, they make a critical mistake: they yell out each other’s names during the getaway.

“Marley, come on!” screams AJ, not realizing nearby Ring cameras picked up every word.

That moment changed everything.

Authorities soon recovered the murder weapon—a legally purchased rifle from Georgia—ditched in a backyard.

The ATF traced it back to “Individual B,” who’s now under investigation for gun trafficking or straw purchasing.

But the blunders didn’t stop there.

Inside the abandoned Chrysler used in the hit, investigators found a phone—still plugged into the charger.

That phone, it turns out, belonged to Montgomery’s girlfriend, “Individual C.

” And it was a goldmine of evidence.

The FBI subpoenaed Apple and AT&T.

While Apple wouldn’t unlock the phone, they handed over the IMEI number and account metadata.

AT&T added call logs and tower pings.

The kicker? The phone had Montgomery’s DNA all over it—from sweat to skin oils—proving he was using it during the time of the murder.

Even worse, “Individual C” called AT&T just 44 minutes after the shooting to report the phone stolen, a clumsy attempt to muddy the digital trail.

The digital forensics didn’t just confirm location—they also revealed motive.

According to FBI transcripts, text messages from Montgomery’s phone to another device believed to be Powell’s show a disturbing conversation: one shooter asking the other about payment.

Yes, minutes after killing Mack, they were texting about when they’d get their money.

Akademiks didn’t mince words—this wasn’t just gang beef.

This was a murder-for-hire scenario unfolding in real time, and Lil Durk’s name kept floating in the background.

According to a confidential source known only as CHS1, Durk allegedly offered money in 2023 for retaliatory hits on members of the GD set, particularly those tied to DThang’s death.

Whether Durk was directly involved or not remains unconfirmed, but the feds are reportedly not dismissing the possibility.

That’s where things get even murkier.

The gangland chessboard behind these crimes runs deep.

The shooter’s name—Montgomery—was caught on tape.

His girlfriend confirmed the phone was his.

The gun? Traced.

The vehicle? Recovered.

And the digital evidence? Bulletproof.

All signs pointed to a coordinated hit with roots in street politics—but with Durk’s shadow looming over it all, fans and critics are asking the same question: Was this revenge?

Akademiks hinted that while Durk hasn’t been charged or named officially in these court documents, his connection to the Lamron set of the Black Disciples, and his brother’s high-profile murder, put him

squarely in the middle of the narrative.

It’s a dangerous dance between fame and the street life Durk has always rapped about—only now, it seems the lyrics are bleeding into real life.

The FBI is still working to fully unlock Montgomery’s phone, and with the cooperation of his girlfriend and other sources, more indictments may be on the horizon.

Akademiks warned that this is “far from over.

” What started as a single hit is now a web of digital breadcrumbs, DNA, surveillance footage, gang alliances, and potentially—rap industry ties.

And the consequences could be catastrophic.

If more evidence links the retaliation plot back to anyone in Durk’s camp—or worse, to Durk himself—it could mean federal charges, not just street retribution.

The streets of Chicago are no stranger to cycles of violence, but this case is different.

This time, the feds are watching, and every lyric, every Instagram post, every DM might be admissible in court.

Akademiks closed his report with a chilling observation: “They’re not just catching bodies anymore—they’re catching data.

” And in today’s world, that data is just as deadly.

So while Lil Durk continues to tour, drop music, and grow his empire, a shadow looms.

The question isn’t just whether justice will be served.

It’s whether the music industry is prepared for what happens when the streets and the spotlight collide—and what it’ll mean for one of rap’s biggest names.
