Lil Durk was caught with an Apple Watch in jail and attempted to destroy it over the summer, authorities say.
On Monday (Oct. 6), the prosecution filed a motion in the rapper's murder-for-hire case, requesting an anonymous jury for the upcoming trial. The motion cites authorities finding out that Durk was in possession of an Apple Watch in August and the significant risk of witness tampering.
"In late August 2025, BOP officials seized an Apple Watch with cellular capability from defendant," the motion reads. "Even more troubling is Banks’ conduct after he was caught. Rather than accept responsibility for this violation, defendant allegedly obstructed the investigation attempting to damage and/or destroy the communications device."
This is not the first time that Durk has been accused of breaking communications rules at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Los Angeles, where he was extradited to from Florida last November. Last December, authorities accused Durk of making unregulated three-way calls.
Durk's trial is scheduled to start on Jan. 6, 2026.
XXL has reached out to Lil Durk's attorney for comment.

Five men are accused of cashing in on Durk's bounty after finding out where Quando was staying in Los Angeles in 2022. On Aug. 19, 2022, three of the suspects shot at Quando’S SUV. While Quando was uninjured in the shooting, his cousin lost his life.
If convicted, Lil Durk faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole.
