If you thought Lil Durk was only making headlines with his music, think again. His daughter, Bella Banks, had the internet cracking up after pulling a hilarious prank on him while he was behind bars. You already know that fans are replaying the clip. And, it’s safe to say Bella’s sense of humor is just as sharp as her dad’s flow.

Lil Durk Caught Off Guard By Daughter’s Prank
In the video shared to Instagram on Wednesday, Bella calls her dad in prison. While talking, she starts spinning a story about a “new girl” at her school whose dad was also incarcerated. “So I said, ‘I don’t know, what like cell or like, I don’t know, like something you were in, right?’” she asked, before guessing he might be in the “PC unit.”
However, Lil Durk quickly corrects her, explaining that PC means “protective custody” and only applies to people who are scared to be on the floor with regular inmates. That’s when Bella reveals it’s all a joke inspired by a TikTok trend, making Durk laugh and sending fans into a frenzy, saying she’s officially carrying the family humor gene. Even India Royale joined the comments, dropping laughing emojis and writing, “He’s so chill.”

India Royale Stays Low-Key While Lil Durk Handles Court Drama
While the internet has been buzzing about Lil Durk’s recent court case and who showed up to support him, it seems India Royale is doing her own thing and staying low-key. As previously reported, India allegedly skipped the hearing, hinting she might be moving on and choosing a different path. Fans noticed that, surprisingly, two stars from ‘Power’ — Kris D. Lofton and Gianni V. Paolo — were present, while India was nowhere in sight.
Despite the chatter, India seems unfazed. Toward the end of 2025, she revealed she was picking up a new hobby, taking a beginner’s sewing class, and captioned her post, “I know I’m super late with this, but I’m just about to start my beginners sewing class.” In an accompanying video, India explained she had been feeling like her life was on repeat and wanted to find excitement outside of travel, dining, and time with her kids.
