The hip-hop community is reeling from the tragic news of THF Bayzoo’s reported murder, a longtime affiliate of rapper Lil Durk. The incident occurred in Chicago over the weekend, and disturbing footage purportedly showing the attack has surfaced online, depicting two armed individuals opening fire on a man in a parking lot.
As news of Bayzoo’s death spread, fans took to social media to express their grief and reflect on the violence plaguing the scene. DJ Akademiks shared the updates, prompting a wave of condolences in the comments. “OTF and Oblock are practically extinct now. RIP,” one user lamented, while another reminisced about Bayzoo’s legendary collaborations, saying, “Bayzoo and Melly live was legendary rip to both.”
This tragic event unfolds as Lil Durk remains incarcerated while awaiting trial for his own murder-for-hire case. Arrested in 2024 for allegedly orchestrating the attempted murder of rival rapper Quando Rondo, Durk has denied the charges against him. His trial is set to begin on January 6, 2026.
In the wake of Durk’s arrest, Bayzoo publicly defended his friend on social media, criticizing the narrative surrounding the case. He expressed frustration with how social media and bloggers painted a misleading picture, insisting that the allegations were unfounded and sensationalized.
The atmosphere surrounding Lil Durk’s trial has grown increasingly tense, with authorities alleging that threats of violence have been made against prosecutors and judges by some of Durk’s fans. These threats reflect a broader culture of violence that continues to impact the hip-hop community.
As we mourn the loss of THF Bayzoo, our thoughts are with his family, friends, and the entire hip-hop community facing such a profound tragedy. For further updates and reactions, stay tuned to hiphopraisedmetheblog.com.
