Trap Lore Ross' tweets have been controversial throughout the Lil Durk trial, and his latest comment about Brian Steel turned some heads.

Trap Lore Ross has been making the Lil Durk trial about himself, as he continues to tweet outlandish things from inside the courtroom. His remarks have gotten him pressed outside the trial, and on Monday, he continued to spread half truths.

With OTF Vonni taking the stand on Monday, Trap Lore Ross was ready to provide live commentary. However, things got a bit weird when Trap Lore Ross made the claim that Brian Steel, Durk's lawyer, appeared to be on the verge of tears as Vonni pointed the finger at the Chicago rapper.

"It might be over for Durk," Trap Lore Ross said. "Vonni just got on the stand. They asked him ‘why did you try and kill Quando’ he said ‘Durk told us to,' he said all 3 defendants Durk, Dede and Lindsay participated in Murder. Brian Steele looked close to tears."

It was a bizarre remark to make, especially when you consider how Brian Steel is a professional lawyer who knows better than to let emotions get the best of him. Trap Lore Ross' tweet was immediately met with skepticism. In fact, journalist Michael Blackshire took to X, where he refuted the YouTuber's claim.

"Brian Steel’s expressions never appeared he was ready to cry from my peripheral," Blackshire wrote. "He bit his pen while listening and looked deep in thought by Vonnie’s testimony. Lil Durk’s facial expressions went from stone face to somber to smiling once everyone was asked to stand at the end"

There has been a debate about whether or not Trap Lore Ross should be allowed in the courtroom. His constant string of controversies has muddied the waters, and it's only going to get worse as jury deliberations get closer.
