Kanye West made a surprise appearance at Lil Durk's federal trial on Thursday. This marks the second high-profile rapper to attend the proceedings, following Machine Gun Kelly's appearance earlier in the week. Durk has been in federal custody since his October 2024 arrest.
Federal prosecutors allege Durk sought revenge after a fatal shooting in 2020. They claim his crew targeted another rapper in 2022, resulting in a death. Durk has denied all wrongdoing.
This is not Kanye West's first time attending a fellow artist's trial. He was present at Diddy's sex trafficking and RICO proceedings last summer in New York City.
