Rick Ross has criticized the lack of support shown for the currently incarcerated Lil Durk at Rolling Loud California. The annual festival was held in Los Angeles this past weekend, with performances from the likes of Playboi Carti, A$AP Rocky, YG, Sexyy Red, Quavo, and more.
In a video posted to his Instagram Stories on Monday (March 17), Rozay called out those who hit the stage for not publicly supporting Durk during their sets, albeit without naming anyone in particular.
“How many n-ggas screamed ‘free Durk’ at that Rolling Loud? How many?” he asked his followers.
After dispensing some advice urging young Black men to pursue a trade such as plumbing or construction, the MMG mogul once again asked: “How many people said ‘free Lil Durk’ at Rolling Loud? Exactly.”

Lil Durk has been behind bars since last October when he was arrested on murder-for-hire charges relating to the 2022 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ing of Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson, the cousin of his rap rival Quando Rondo.
The Chicago native was denied bail over allegations that he has not been on his best behavior in jail. A brief published in December claimed that the rapper had “repeatedly abused the phone system in jail,” despite “clear instructions to not engage in three-way calls.”
Durk is accused of funding the murder of Lul Pab as payback for the death of his close friend and collaborator King Von, who was 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed during a scuffle with Quando Rondo and his crew in 2020.
Prosecutors claim that flights and rental cars for the five men who allegedly participated in the shooting were paid for with a credit card tied to Durk’s label, OTF. Durk faces the possibility of life in prison if convicted, while the death penalty is still not off the table.
He will face trial in October after proceedings were delayed due to the complexities of the case, including one of the defendants allegedly exploring a plea deal with prosecutors.
