OTF Vonni is back on the stand today amid Lil Durk's murder-for-hire trial, and a text was read that mentioned NBA YoungBoy.

Lil Durk's murder-for-hire trial is ongoing, and today, OTF Vonni took to the stand to testify against Durk. It was here that he revealed information about an alleged group chat between Durk and various OTF members.

As Vonni describes, Durk was allegedly frustrated with the lack of action following the death of King Von. In the group chat, Durk would allegedly demand why no one had retaliated. Previously, OTF Jam stated that he barely knew Von and felt as though he was being coerced into a bad situation. Based on Vonni's testimony, it is clear that he felt similarly about the situation.

This lack of familiarity with Von and, by extension, Quando Rondo, led to some trepidation amongst OTF members. In a text shown in court, Durk was allegedly upset with his crew and pointed out that if the target was NBA YoungBoy, they wouldn't have been so hesitant.

Lil Durk Allegedly Frustrated With OTF Members

“Let it be YB and nem," Durk allegedly wrote. "Shorty be out every night. We got the lo on a MF and guess he at club like he ain’t got be worried about. Set said Chicago only, but in the A, they think we sweet.”

Durk and YoungBoy's beef has gone on for many years, and these alleged text messages suggest that there was a lot of animosity towards YB within OTF. Durk allegedly feels as though that animosity was not shown towards King Von's alleged killers.

Vonni remains on the stand this afternoon as Drew Findling carries out his cross-examination. It is expected that the prosecution will rest its case either today or on Wednesday.
