The recent arrest of rapper Lil Durk has sent shockwaves through the internet, prompting swift actions from local officials. In a Facebook announcement, Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson stated that the village is withdrawing the rapper's honorary key to the city and terminating its partnership with his Neighborhood Heroes Foundation.
Last weekend, the Chicago native was awarded keys to both the Village of Broadview and the Village of Bellwood. However, following news of Durk's arrest in Florida on charges of murder for hire, Mayor Thompson declared the revocation of his honorary status.
Thompson wrote, "Given the news that Durk 'Lil Durk' Banks has been arrested, the Village of Broadview is withdrawing our honorary 'key to the village' and terminating our partnership agreement with his youth organization, Neighborhood Heroes Foundation
