YFG Fatso: Lil Durk’s 17-Year-Old Artist Arrested During OTF Crackdown

On October 28, 2024, it was reported that YFG Fatso, a 17-year-old emerging rap talent from Chicago and a member of Lil Durk’s label, Only The Family (OTF), was allegedly arrested. This news breaks shortly after Lil Durk himself was detained by federal authorities regarding an alleged conspiracy to commit murder against Atlanta rapper Quando Rondo. The case is tied to the tragic shooting death of Rondo’s cousin, Saviay’a Robinson, also known as Lul Pab, which occurred at a gas station in Los Angeles in August 2022.

Details surrounding YFG Fatso’s alleged arrest, including its exact timing and any potential link to Lil Durk’s recent legal issues, remain unclear.

Recent Arrests Among OTF Members

On October 24, 2024, just a day prior to Lil Durk’s apprehension by U.S. Marshals in South Florida for his alleged ties to the murder-for-hire plot involving Quando Rondo and the deadly shooting of Lul Pab, five of his OTF associates were also taken into custody.

According to information from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the five arrested individuals include Kavon London Grant, also known as Vonnie, Deandre Dontrell Wilson or DeDe, Keith Jones referred to as Flacka, David Brian Lindsey known as Browneyez, and Asa Houston, aka Boogie.

These individuals appeared for arraignment in Chicago’s Dirksen U.S. Courthouse and were ordered detained by U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeffery Gilbert. Their federal indictment has since been unsealed in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles. They are scheduled to be extradited to LA, the location of Lul Pab’s murder.

Reports indicate that the five suspects allegedly utilized rental vehicles and flights, funded through credit cards linked to OTF, in exchange for lucrative music opportunities supposedly offered by an OTF official.

Prosecutors revealed that the shooting of Lul Pab was initially intended for Quando Rondo and was allegedly retaliatory stemming from the November 2020 murder of King Von, another OTF artist and close associate of Durk.

This situation is not Lil Durk’s first encounter with legal issues. In 2019, he and the late King Von, believed to be involved with the Chicago street gang Black Disciples, faced charges in Atlanta related to a drive-by shooting that caused injury to a man’s leg. However, charges against Durk were eventually dismissed in 2022, two years after Von’s death.

Additionally, in 2014, the Grammy-winning artist pleaded guilty to charges of felony aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and felony possession of a firearm after being apprehended with a gun in his hometown, although he did not serve prison time for those charges.
