Von was shot and killed in November 2020 at the age of 26 after being involved in an altercation with Quando Rondo’s crew in Atlanta, Georgia. A suspect was alter identified as Timothy Leeks, a fellow rapper who is known as Lul Timm. The young Chicago artist was included in the In Memoriam montage at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.
Last month, Von’s posthumous album, What It Means To Be King, was released with features from Lil Durk, 21 Savage, Moneybagg Yo, Fivio Foreign, and more. The project sold 59,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, making it the highest-charting album of Von’s career.
100k Track also manages YNW Melly, who is facing a trial for first-degree murder.
