Memo600 says feds tried to flip him on Lil Durk and blamed him for the 2021 Durk home robbery

Memo600 told VladTV that federal agents tried to get him to give up Lil Durk after his arrest, and blamed him for the 2021 robbery at Durk's home, which he denies. His claims about the feds are ALLEGED and unverified; federal authorities haven't commented. He's fighting a federal gun trafficking case and says he's not guilty.

Memo600 says federal agents tried to get him to give up Lil Durk. In a new VladTV interview, the Chicago rapper said that after his arrest, agents told him, "Tell us something about Durk and we'll lower your sentence." He also said agents told him they thought he was behind the 2021 robbery and shootout at Durk's home, which he denies, saying he was arrested on a gun charge that same night. Memo600, whose legal name is Melvin Griffin, is one of five men charged in a federal Athens-to-Chicago gun trafficking case unsealed in June, including machine gun conspiracy counts. He says he's not guilty. Durk was found not guilty in September on the federal murder-for-hire case and still faces a separate trial set for August 2027. Federal authorities have not commented on Memo600's claims.
