Federal prosecutors opposed Lil Durk’s request for bond, arguing that he should remain in custody because he poses a flight risk and a potential threat to the community. The rapper has been denied bond four times, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors also said Durk continues to violate detention center rules and is under investigation for allegedly facilitating the introduction of contraband at the Los Angeles Metropolitan Detention Center.

In court, prosecutors alleged that Durk obtained an Apple Watch, concealed it in a body cavity and used it to make hundreds of phone calls. Los Angeles Magazine reporter Taylor Parise, who was following the hearing, reported the claims.

Durk’s attorneys submitted an expanded bond proposal, offering his mother’s home as collateral along with the rapper’s royalties, publishing rights, name, image and likeness, and touring revenue. They also cited his recent acquittal in a separate murder-for-hire case, arguing that he had no reason to flee.

After hearing arguments from both sides, U.S. District Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald did not rule on Wednesday. He is expected to announce a decision Thursday, Nov. 5.
