OTF Jam spoke about how the alleged hit on Quando Rondo, which killed Rondo's cousin Lul Pab, made him lose respect for Lil Durk.

OTF Jam caused a lot of controversy as the prosecution's witness during the Lil Durk trial, whether through bringing up 6ix9ine or painting Durk as responsible for the murder of Saviay’a "Lul Pab" Robinson and the hit on Pab's cousin Quando Rondo that took Pab's life in 2022.

According to XXL and Michael Blackshire, Jam testified yesterday (Thursday, August 27) during day four of the Durk murder-for-hire trial. He said he talked to the FBI about the Los Angeles shooting because the murder was "sloppy."

"I had to get off my chest, I saw the opportunity," the OTF affiliate reportedly remarked. "I felt it was dumb in a sloppy matter. People who shouldn't have been there... I thought it was sloppy. I didn't know [Lul Pab]. In my eyes, he was innocent. I just said I don't have beef with him."

OTF Jam claimed he spoke with Smurk after the murder and claimed he was happy with Pab's death. He reportedly claimed the OTF boss took advantage of him, which made him lose respect for Durk. "I still got a lot of love for [Durk]," Jam reportedly said. "Blood was there for me... I feel bad, I know he probably hate me. I got love for him, I just don't have respect for him."

Also, OTF Jam said his testimony could kill him due to his previous gang affiliations. "As a Black disciple, that's breaking all laws," he reportedly shared. "You can snitch on a opp and get f***ed up."

How Long Has Lil Durk Been In Jail?

Lil Durk has been facing these charges ever since his arrest in October of 2024. Since that development, he's been behind bars fighting against the murder-for-hire accusations and preparing his legal defenses with his team. Now, these witnesses and testimonies are adding another problem on his docket.

OTF Jam's testimony about Lil Durk has been very controversial, with even some hip-hop artists like Meek Mill speaking out against it. He claimed involvement in Lul Pab's murder and painted Durk as the one behind the whole thing. We will see how future trial developments give more context and weight to these divisive comments.
