Sony Music allegedly offered $1 million for Lil Durk's bond

Federal prosecutors said Thursday that rapper Lil Durk, who is accused of commissioning a murder two years ago in Los Angeles, may be linked to another killing in Chicago — allegations that helped convince a judge to order the Grammy Award winner to remain jailed as his case proceeds.

During a detention hearing, U.S. Magistrate Judge Patricia Donahue said the 32-year-old rapper, whose legal name is Durk Devontay Banks, has significant resources and the ability to flee.

Lawyers for Banks had pressed for his release, offering a bond secured by $2.3 million in equity in two homes in Georgia and $1 million in cash from Sony Music.
Durk is signed to Alamo Records, which is owned by Sony Music Entertainment. 
They also said they would hire around-the-clock security to ensure compliance with conditions imposed by the court. 

He has been in jail since his Oct. 24 arrest. He was trying to flee the country on a private jet to Italy after his associates were arrested.

He faces up to life in prison.

His major contract (allegedly) is $40 Million.

Sony probably just feeling like boo boo the fool with that, and definitely don't wanna lose that alleged $40M so better spend some more and get that contract honored by the artists
