The Lil Durk bond motion reportedly includes a letter from the mother of Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson stating that she does not object to the rapper being released from federal custody.

Attorney and music law commentator Mohammed “Moe” Gangat revealed the development in a social media video, highlighting the reported letter as a significant part of Durk’s latest attempt to secure his freedom.Gangat explained that he had previously questioned Durk’s attorney, Drew Findling, about when the defense planned to file its bond motion.
According to Gangat, Findling told him, “Listen, when I file this bond motion, it’s gonna be a real deal Holyfield motion, all right?”
After reviewing the reported filing, Gangat appeared convinced that the defense had delivered.
“I think this motion gets granted,” he said.
Gangat explained that his confidence was not primarily based on celebrity support, although he referenced letters reportedly submitted by billionaire Michael Rubin and Jay-Z. Instead, he emphasized the position of Robinson’s mother, Andrea Robinson.
According to Gangat, she wrote, “I have no objection.”
“The victim’s mom filing a letter essentially in support,” Gangat said while discussing the new development.
The actual letter has not been independently reviewed, so its complete language and any conditions attached to Robinson’s position remain unconfirmed. Her reported lack of objection also does not mean she has withdrawn her civil claims against Durk.
The development follows the September 11, 2026, verdict that cleared Durk, whose legal name is Durk Banks, of all five charges in his federal murder-for-hire trial.
The case centered on the August 19, 2022, shooting that killed 24-year-old Saviay’a Robinson near the Beverly Center shopping mall in Los Angeles.
Robinson, who was known as Lul Pab, was riding with his cousin, rapper Quando Rondo, whose legal name is Tyquian Bowman, when gunmen opened fire on their vehicle near a gas station. Rondo survived the attack, but Robinson suffered fatal gunshot wounds.
Robinson was also a father of three young children and an entrepreneur who helped support his family, according to attorneys representing his family.
Federal prosecutors alleged the shooting was an attempted revenge attack against Quando Rondo following the November 2020 killing of Chicago rapper King Von, whose legal name was Dayvon Bennett.
King Von, a close friend of Durk and member of his Only The Family collective, was fatally shot during a confrontation outside an Atlanta nightclub.
Prosecutors accused Durk of financing and orchestrating a plan to have Rondo killed, alleging that associates traveled to Los Angeles, tracked Rondo’s movements, and eventually carried out the shooting that killed Robinson.
Durk denied involvement. His defense argued that his former assistant, Kavon Grant, had organized the plot independently and challenged the credibility of cooperating witnesses who testified against the rapper.
Following a closely watched trial and three days of deliberations, a Los Angeles federal jury found Durk not guilty of conspiracy to commit stalking, stalking involving a dangerous weapon, stalking resulting in death, and two murder-for-hire-related charges.
His co-defendants, Deandre Wilson and David Lindsey, received different verdicts. Both were acquitted of the murder-for-hire charges but convicted of conspiracy to commit stalking, stalking using a dangerous weapon, and stalking resulting in death.
Gangat specifically pointed to the jury’s rejection of the stalking charges against Durk when explaining why he believes the rapper should receive bond.
Robinson’s mother also has her own legal history involving the rapper. In February 2025, Andrea Robinson filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Cook County, Illinois, naming Durk, Only The Family and other defendants.
The lawsuit seeks damages over her son’s death and alleges that the defendants were responsible for the deadly attack. The criminal acquittal does not automatically resolve that separate civil case, which has a different burden of proof.
Meanwhile, Durk remains incarcerated because of additional federal charges involving alleged murder in aid of racketeering and firearms offenses. Prosecutors accuse him of operating a criminal enterprise connected to violent activity. Durk has pleaded not guilty, and those allegations have not been proven.
The separate trial was postponed from October 5, 2026, to August 30, 2027, after the court granted additional preparation time.
