Mayor Johnson reacts to Lil Durk arrest

[@wtf.................]

Sounds like a scared man making a bunch of excuses

[@solologging2488]

The 150k wasn’t stolen or derived from illicit activities! Why would he give it back?? Durk made his fortune from rapping about killing,hood drama, and black on black violence so if anything they should be asking is why did he take the money in the first place when he first accepted it?

Brandon is clueless.

Yall pick and choose is disgusting. Durk my favorite rapper!!! But call it what it is dude. Fbg duck is gone like the rest for a reason. If you don’t get durk of the streets Chicago will never grow as a whole. These dudes made our city a blood bath with no regrades of children and women. And all you can talk about is his money lol

[@The-Canon]

He just gave them money for programs and a few surrounding suburbs. They’re not going to criticize him yet. But everything you said is true & correct. His generation started a wave of violence the city won’t recover from for awhile.

[@BLKAMERICA]

I care about the children. No one else.

[@WomenGotBigOlForeheads]

"if you don't get Durk off the street" bro what???😂😂😂 The damage has been done and irreversible for a looooong time now. We're like 2-3 generations new from the original drill movement. These political figures know exactly what they're doing and you ain't nothing but either a consumer, victim or criminal to them. C'mon bro you know these drill rappers ain't 💩 talking about "favorite rapper" these dudes are evil and slow af and y'all love that nonsense and treat them like gods and wanna be like them 😂😂😂😂 heeell naw

[@Ihyhades]

Ppl were dying when he was locked up that shit did not matter locking him up for life won’t bring peace to Chicago especially w new generations of drill rappers coming out the city the violence was there before his rise to fame and fortune

Durk was literally with him a few weeks ago signing papers to fund this stuff. Even if he didn't believe it he still paid for this stuff.

Durk gave Chicago and a few surrounding cities money for youth and other things. They’re not going to be up front about criticizing him publicly yet. The deposits are still fresh. 😂

[@Solidsnakemethod]

Bruh this man is literally in front of y’all eyes making excuses for an alleged murderer. This is the man who a whole city depends on to keep them safe but here he is in front of the world defending his favorite rapper who may be guilty of funding multiple murders. All the while pulling the he’s young black man being prosecuted by the powers that be card. Lmao you can’t make this stuff up. What about the other young black men he’s accused of slaying? What about them? This is sickening. Why is this sad excuse for a man running a whole city idk but it ain’t good

That's why he's talking so softly as to hiding cover up his words not even he is convinced of telling the truth therefore speak very softly and hopefully no one will hear

[@tiftyme]

This one blames the system, for a grown man’s actions. Now let that have been a plot against his family, I bet he would be speaking a different tune

I’ve seen this movie before… Transform from a bad character to a good character to better his image and create relations with well known pastors and politicians to help by giving away money, gifts and do other positive deeds for the community TO FEEL BETTER about the secret illegal activities done in the past. Then have a Mayor from a big city to give you the key to the city. 🚩👀💅🏾 Sincerely, Sean Combs (Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddy, Brother Love)… and other rappers that celebrated being a street thug or bad boy.

I would have said I'm keeping the money plain and simple. It was a donation and anybody is free to donate.

Why do it matter what he did or is doing with a campaign donation? The reporter seem to be trying to through the Mayor under the bus, cuz LiL Durk donated, and now he's locked up, so yeah...try to make the Mayor look bad now👎👎👎. What a shame!!!

[@tmt6145]

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Almost like he was trying to imply that the mayor is or would be crooked because he accepted a donation before these allegations/charges were brought forth, not after before. That how you taint someone's image in a subtle way.
