In 2013, Lil Durk was arrested when police found two loaded guns in his possession. As the Chicago Tribune reported, he subsequently served six months behind bars. He spoke of serving time in an interview with the Tribune, recalling that the experience "really messed me up inside." His time in jail, he explained, "made me smarter: 'What will make me not come back?'"

That, however, was not his last brush with the law. In 2019, Billboard reported that Lil Durk had turned himself in after an arrest warrant had been issued in Georgia, stemming from his alleged involvement in a shooting that took place outside an Atlanta restaurant. He faced several charges, including aggravated assault and attempted murder. 

Not only did he record a song about it — "Turn Myself In" — he also explained the reason why he surrendered to authorities. "I have nothing to hide. I have nothing to run from," he told Atlanta's WSB, explaining he was on tour when he learned of the warrant. "Once I heard, I immediately came back," he said. Lil Durk was later freed on bail after posting a $250,000 bond.
