DJ Akademiks remarked on the ‘heavy police presence’ in the neighbourhood following the event.

“Lil Durk’s residence in Atlanta had heavy police presence and was possibly raided due to an investigation about a shooting and other crimes,” Akademiks explained. “They said there was an alleged shooting around where he lived at.”

The media figure, whose real name is Livingston Allen, went on to say: “This is a gated community, they called him the victim. His neighbours and people that lived in that community have reported it to me that like, ‘Yo, Durk live down there and there are mad cops. FBI is trying to execute a search warrant’.”
