The Rolling Stone source does not say he was arrested on 24 October. The XXL source did, but that's a poor source for this sort of thing, so I've replaced it with a USA Today source, which says 25 October.

Partly done: I’ve corrected the '"others" arrest date to October 24. For Lil Durk (Durk Banks), I don’t think USA Today source is suitable for this particular detail, as it is a 2026 retrospective rather than contemporaneous reporting. I believe that the reports from October 24-25, 2024, , , and the FBI arrest affidavit are credible sources to identify the date of arrests. All of these indicate that the arrest took place on Thursday the 24th.  Ivecos (t) 19:52, 16 September 2026 (UTC)
