FBG Duck, whose real name was Carlton Weekly, was shot and killed outside a Chicago store in August 2020. His girlfriend and another shopper were wounded in the shooting.
One of the shooters, Charles Liggins, was convicted on five of seven counts. Jurors found Liggins guilty of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, using a weapon in the deadly shooting and injuring the late rapper’s girlfriend. The 32-year-old man was found not guilty of charges regarding the other shopper.
The getaway drivers, Kenneth Roberson and Tacarlos Offerd, were convicted of five counts. Roberson avoided convictions on the same two counts as Liggins. Offerd was found not guilty of two counts connected to the shooting of FBG Duck’s girlfriend.
Marcus Smart, another shooter, was found guilty of five counts. Jurors cleared him of shooting FBG Duck’s girlfriend.
Christopher Thomas, yet another shooter, was convicted of three counts in FBG Duck’s murder. The jury found him not guilty on charges related to the other two victims.
Ralph Turpin, the man who called the O-Block members to attack FBG Duck, was found guilty of murder and conspiracy to commit murder. All six men face life in prison.
FBG Duck’s mother LaSheena Weekly reportedly had tears in her eyes in the courtroom. She celebrated the verdict on social media.
“GUILTY,” she wrote on Instagram Stories. “ALL THEY ASS IS GUILTY.”
Weekly jumped on Instagram Live after leaving the courtroom. A reporter caught up with her for comments on the verdict.
“They’re done,” she said. “The whole crew. O-Block and everything of it.”
Weekly told viewers she would host a “justice served” party in honor of her son on Wednesday night.
West celebrated his 46th birthday last month. During his actual party, a photo of himself and Gangsta Gibbs started to circulate. This is where the rumors initially began swirling.
Keep in mind, Gibbs and Ye had some interesting dealings in the past. In 2016, producer Madlib gave both men a few beats. As the saying goes, great minds think alike—and they both chose the same beat.
It turned out Yeezy’s version ended up on the Kendrick Lamar-assisted “No More Parties in L.A.” from The Life of Pablo.
Gibbs offered his own rendition to the world via SoundCloud. Unfortunately, it was immediately yanked down, but West’s track stayed in heavy rotation.
In 2021, the Gary native popped up the with the same beat for “Cocaine Parties in L.A.” from the Piñata (Deluxe Edition). The track was again snatched down from most streaming platforms. Yeezus was not playing—allegedly.
Now it appears as though the two artists have made amends. On Tuesday (July 4), an interesting innuendo grew some legs after a Reddit post proclaimed “Ye has been working with Freddie Gibbs.”
Hit-Boy later discussed the status of his current relationship with Kanye West. He professed, “I ain’t got no issues with him.” The veteran beatmaker verified something quite intriguing. When the issue of who he was working with arose, Hit-Boy affirmed the assertion.
“I heard Freddie’s [Gibbs] working with him right now,” the interviewer said, to which Hit-Boy agreed, “I seen—I heard about that.”

During a candid interview, Janelle Monáe mentioned being “much happier when my t###ies are out,” according to Rolling Stone. So, the chanteuse effectively doubled down on her thoughts.

Obviously, Janelle Monáe has been afforded the opportunity to share her creativity and her curves. The question remains, how much is the public willing to accept?
Perhaps the track sparked the mayhem or the rapper’s rhetorical call and response incited the pistol-toting shooters. Whatever the case, it got wild.
While poetic license is a thing, it appears as though Boosie didn’t understand his audience. As the show closed, the Tulsa Police Department was called out to help with crowd control. Hundreds of folks peacefully exited the venue.
Others found reasons to act up. As Friday night (June 30) turned into Saturday morning (July 1), some of Boosie Badazz’s supporters began to run amuck. Soon, shots rang out.
