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, its safe to say Bellas sense of humor is just as sharp as her dads flow.
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. Thats when Bella reveals its all a joke inspired by a TikTok trend, making Durk laugh and sending fans into a frenzy, saying shes officially carrying the family humor gene. Even India Royale joined the comments, dropping laughing emojis and writing, Hes so chill.
Fans ran straight to The Shade Room Instagram comment section and had a field day over the prank call. Some were happy to see Lil Durk in good spirits and laughing with his daughter, while others joked that hes probably not in the mood for jokes right now. A few commenters also suggested that Bella should let him know that everyone misses him, keeping the love and laughs going.
One Instagram user @shaylahmaaliyah said, “Tell him i love and miss him too ”
This Instagram user @_liyahlaidit joked, “Baby he dont got time for the games rn ”
And, Instagram user @mora.m0910 added, “She saved his contact like that so she wouldnt miss his phone calls“
Meanwhile, Instagram user @sag3sst0ri_34 wrote, “What kinda name save is that ”
While Instagram user @slimfinest shared, “he sounds like hes in good spirits“
Finally, Instagram user @iamkingsamuel added, “‘DAD JAIL’ is NUTTTTTSSSSS ”
While the internet has been buzzing about Lil Durks 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 beginners sewing class, and captioned her post, I know Im super late with this, but Im 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.
