Friday, September 11, brought plenty of emotions for Lil Durk as he learned his fate in his murder-for-hire trial. A Los Angeles jury found the rapper not guilty on all charges, while his wife, India Royale, and his mother sat in the courtroom for the major moment. Shortly after the jury announced its decision, India dropped a heartfelt message on social media as fans also dropped reactions to Durk’s not-guilty verdict.
Lil Durk might not be a free man just yet, but that isn’t stopping India Royale from holding him down. She made it clear she’s standing ten toes behind her husband when she dropped a message late Friday night following his not-guilty verdict in the murder-for-hire trial. India reposted a throwback photo from an Instagram fan page to her Story that showed Durk giving their daughter Willow Banks a kiss on the cheek. She added the message,“Thank You God,” along with a praying hands emoji.
As The Shade Room previously reported, India and Durk’s mother both showed up to support him as the jury delivered its highly anticipated verdict. According to reports, the Chicago rapper broke down in tears after the jury found him not guilty on all charges. Durk’s mom also got emotional, and India reportedly wrapped her arms around her as the jury announced its decision. But Durk isn’t fully off the hook just yet. Per Complex, the 33-year-old will remain behind bars as he awaits the outcome of his pending RICO trial, which kicks off on October 5.
India Royale wasn’t the only loved one showing Durk some love after his verdict. His eldest son, Angelo Banks, also hit his Instagram Story with a message for his dad, sharing a sweet throwback photo of himself and his siblings posted up with Durk. Angelo wrote, “I love you dad. I always believed in you.”
Angelo has been holding his dad down throughout the trial. Back in June, he showed Durk some love with a special Father’s Day post. Fans have also seen a lil’ peek at Angela’s bond with India after she and her daughter Willow pulled up to support him at his eighth-grade graduation in May. Durk shares Angelo with Nicole Covone. Nicole and Durk also share a daughter named Bella Banks. Durk has a total of seven biological children, including Angelo, Bella, and Willow, whom he shares with India. He also has another daughter, Skylar, and three other sons: Romeo, Zayden, and Du’Mier Banks.
