Lil Durk<\/a>‘s father, Big Durk, is celebrating his son’s courtroom victory … telling TMZ it’s an incredible moment for the entire family.<\/p>\n

Big Durk spoke with our cameras outside court Friday in downtown Los Angeles just minutes after a jury found Lil Durk not guilty on all five charges in his federal murder-for-hire case.<\/p>\n

He tells TMZ he’s “bursting with joy” and can barely contain his happiness … adding the entire family is on a “high” following the verdict.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Big Durk says his son always knew the day he’d be found not guilty was coming … and now the family plans to celebrate in a big way.<\/p>\n

We also got video of DeenTheGreat<\/a> and Adrien Broner<\/a> outside the courthouse celebrating Durk’s legal victory. The two were all smiles as they reacted to the rapper beating the case.<\/p>\n

As we reported … Lil Durk was accused of hiring a hit team to kill rival rapper Quando Rondo<\/a> in retaliation for the 2020 death of his friend, King Von<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors claimed the gunmen fired 18 shots at Quando’s black Escalade outside the Beverly Center in 2022 … killing Quando’s cousin, Saviay’a Robinson, instead.<\/p>\n

Lil Durk’s defense argued his former assistant, Kavon Grant, ordered the shooting while trying to impress his boss.<\/p>\n

After three days of deliberations, jurors found Lil Durk not guilty<\/a> of conspiracy, stalking using a dangerous weapon, stalking resulting in death, and two murder-for-hire charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lil Durk’s Dad We’re Planning a Big Celebration After His Victory!!!
