Los Angeles Magazine reporter Taylor Parise reported on September 11, 2026, that Durk Banks, known as Lil Durk, was found not guilty on all charges in his Los Angeles federal trial.
Entertainment Weekly independently reports the acquittal, corroborating Parise’s account of the outcome. Lost in Miami has not obtained the verdict form and is not assigning numbered findings to individual counts.
Additional charges remain a separate issue
The acquittal concerns the charges decided in this trial. HotNewHipHop’s reporting on the trial says racketeering charges brought in a superseding indictment were excluded from these proceedings and could be heard in a separate trial. Those pending allegations are not convictions. Banks is presumed innocent of any unresolved charges.
Acquittal does not confirm release
Complex’s September 8 analysis anticipated prosecutors seeking continued detention even after an acquittal. That was a forecast, not a post-verdict custody ruling.
The additional pending charges remain separate from the acquittal. Lost in Miami has not independently verified a post-verdict detention decision or release order, and is not reporting that Banks is going home.
