Asian Doll Recalls King Von Cheating On Her, Says She’d Do It All Again

February 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since King Von tragically passed away some years ago, his loved ones have tried hard to keep his legacy alive and commemorate his memory. Moreover, his ex-girlfriend Asian Doll recently reflected on their rough patches on Twitter, and remarked that she would have it no other way. “I remember when I caught Von cheating at the beginning of our relationship…” she wrote on the social media platform. “I started crying right yall why this n***a started crying too [crying-laughing emojis], I was so so confused lmaoooo.” A fan replied, “And you stayed with him after he cheated on you…?,” to which Doll replied with “Stayed [crying-laughing emoji and heart emoji]. I’ll do it all again if I could.”

Unfortunately for Asian Doll, much of her social media activity as of late instead dedicated itself to defending her name. For example, she roped herself into the Jada Kingdom and Stefflon Don beef, addressing her body-selling accusations. Even though the Dallas native usually engages in spats like these online, it’s still a pretty disheartening routine to see. After all, there’s already so much that she’s going through in the aftermath of King Von’s loss that don’t need some drama on top of that.

Alas, life goes on, and Asian Doll’s done a lot to keep her career going and overcome this grief in a healthy way. Peppered throughout this are other ways in which she remembered King Von, still holding onto his legacy and impact. “3yrs Today We Lost You [heart broken emoji],” the 27-year-old wrote of him on Instagram three years after his passing. “Everyday We Celebrate You. Forever In Our Hearts. I Saw You Turn A ‘Attempt’ Into Millions On House Arrest [heart emoji], I Watch You Buy Yo Mama A House With Yo 1st Million. I Helped You Open Yo 1st Gold Record While Laying In Bed. They Can’t Tweak With You Dead Or Alive You Still DA HOTTEST.”

Meanwhile, she’s also dealing with some beef with the Fresh & Fit team after a mid-interview walkout by its host. Hopefully there are less contentious circumstances in 2024 and more celebrations of the stamp King Von left behind. Nevertheless, only time and attitudes will tell.

Six Men Were Convicted Of Murdering Chicago Rapper FBG Duck In 2020

January 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Six men have been convicted of murdering Chicago rapper FBG Duck in 2020, according to The Chicago Sun-Times. The jury came to the conclusion after two days of deliberations, determining that the six men — members of the O Block set of the Black Disciples gang associated with rappers like Chief Keef and King Von — were all guilty of at least one count.

The six men, Charles “C Murda” Liggins, Kenneth “Kenny Mac” Roberson, Tacarlos “Los” Offerd, Christopher “C Thang” Thomas, Ralph “Teezy” Turpin, and Marcus “Muwop” Smart, were accused of shooting Duck (real name Carlton Weekly) outside a clothing store in August 2020, hitting Duck’s girlfriend and another bystander. The shooting was prompted by a series of diss tracks exchanged between Duck, representing the Tookaville set of the Gangster Disciples, and Von, who prosecutors say put a bounty on Duck before his own death in Atlanta that autumn. (Two years later, another member of FBG, FBG Cash, was also shot and killed in Chicago.)

Five of the defendants were identified from surveillance footage and tracked through the shooting through city surveillance cameras, while shell casings found in one of Roberson’s car tied the vehicle to the scene. One other defendant, Ezell Rawls, killed himself during the investigation. Although defense lawyers argued that the evidence was slim and circumstantial, the evidence presented was convincing enough for the jury.

Lil Meech & King Von’s Sister Joke About His Grocery Incident

September 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Meech and Summer Walker’s relationship ended with just as much power as when it started, although a contentious split contrasted heavily with a passionate link-up. Regardless, both celebrities seem to be over the whole thing and are leaving it all in the past… right? Well, in a recently uploaded TikTok from none other than King Von’s sister, we see that some history still inspires jokes. In the clip, Von’s relative holds some groceries in her hands as the “BMF” actor stands beside her. The audio that plays, one of Meech saying he was helping his cousin out with some groceries, prompted her to laugh and him to give a middle finger.

Moreover, for those unaware, this refers to what many see as Lil Meech’s excuse for cheating on Summer Walker. It propped up because fans found a clip of him bringing another woman into his abode with some bags. In his excuse, Demetrius Flenory Jr. said that he just helped his cousin out with some groceries. Of course, fans found that hard to believe, and it resulted in a lot of jokes online.

For example, when a Summer Walker fan ran into Lil Meech out on his everyday routine, they asked him if he was getting groceries. He ignored their advances, but we can’t imagine that it was easy considering how much the situation and relationship went viral on social media. The R&B singer and Meech were quite loved-up online, and to see it crumble was a shock but also as frantic as their personas led on. After all, this followed a series of different cheating accusations that they answered on the Internet.

Meanwhile, it seems like there’s still a bit of bad blood left over from this breakup. After Meech wrote a plea to let his father out of jail, Summer apparently responded to this on her Instagram page. Whether or not the actor and rapper has family issues is another story; that’s not for any of us to decide or speak on. For more news and the latest updates on Lil Meech and Summer Walker, check back in with HNHH.

[WATCH] Unseen Footage Of King Von Claiming He’s Gay To Be Placed In Prison Protective Custody

July 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The late King Von has become an underground cult figure in drill rap, with the recent release of his posthumous project King Von: Rap’s First Serial Killer, even though he was killed just one week before the release of his debut album Welcome To O’Block in 2021. This week, a video of Von in jail went viral after he is heard asking corrections officers to move him to protective custody because of his sexual orientation.

Many have argued his real purpose for using the excuse of being gay to be moved, however, critics have stated that real Gs don’t fake their sexual orientation for protection, especially behind bars.

King Von’s “Grandson” Album Gets Tracklist Reveal Via New York City Billboards

July 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

King Von’s upcoming posthumous album Grandson may be a strong point of anticipation for fans, but to be fair, many of them also felt skeptical of a release beyond his lifetime. That being said, most of his fanbase thinks that regardless, this will be a well-curated and respectful homage to Von’s vision and artistry. After all, his team and estate took some time between his death, his first posthumous release, 2022’s What It Means To Be King, and this new project. What’s more is that, now that we have Grandson‘s official tracklist, hype for it came more naturally. Moreover, the album contains 17 tracks and a welcome list of featured guests.

Furthermore, these include Polo G on “Phil Jackson,” Lil Durk on “From the Hood,” G Herbo on “Real Oppy,” and 42 Dugg on “GangLand.” Other notable new features are Moneybagg Yo and Hotboii on “Out Of The Streets” and BreezyLyn and Tink on “Jealous.” Not only that, but Spotify revealed the tracklist through various billboards (including Times Square in New York City) and through digital means. Elsewhere, solo King Von cuts like “Pressure,” “Jimmy,” “All We Do Is Drill,” “When I Die,” and “Family Dedication 2” hold a lot of promise just based off their titles.

Of course, this is far from the first we’ve heard from the Chicago rapper’s next full-length release. Previously, we caught his solo track “Robberies” as a single, which continued to show his depth as a hardened and gritty storyteller. In addition, there’s also the very recent release of the song “Heartless” with Tee Grizzley, who matches King Von’s energy quite well. With these teasers in mind, this is shaping up to be a very solid offering from the late and legendary MC.

Meanwhile, even though that skepticism is there concerning the posthumous Grandson, it all comes down to the execution. As such, there’s a unique, somber and tragic form of pressure on this album to deliver and do right by his memory. But the artist’s skill and talent speaks for itself, and will likely be quite amplified and projected on Grandson. Regardless, check out the for more news and the latest updates on King Von, come back to HNHH.

The legacy of late Chicago drill rapper King Von lives on as his camp announces the upcoming release of his second posthumous album, Grandson: The Album.

King Von & Tee Grizzley Grew Up “Heartless” On New Single

July 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

King Von’s upcoming posthumous album Grandson (arriving July 14) will be an important moment in the late rapper’s career. Moreover, it will be his second body of work after his passing, and many wonder whether it will stick the landing considering that many releases in this vein can feel exploitative. That being said, if this new track “Heartless” with Tee Grizzley is anything to go by, fans should expect to be satisfied. This is the kind of track that Von perfected during his career, with the right balance of aggression, darkness, but also sorrow. While the bars here may paint a harsh picture of the streets, the instrumental gives it a somber tone that puts it all into context.

Furthermore, high-pitched keys and atmospheric pads lead the melody and harmony on “Heartless.” It almost sounds nostalgic, but the hard trap drums ground the track in its violent subject matter. In addition, there are some buried choir vocals that make the beat feel more eerie, despite the fact that they’re quite subtle in the mix. Like much of King Von’s catalog, this track has a haunting feel that contrasts well with his bars. Not only does he speak on the harshness of his upbringing, but his present attitude on the track says more about it than any anecdote ever could.

Meanwhile, Tee Grizzley comes through with a quick, short, but effective verse that matches the Chicago MC with ease. Also, he makes a bit more of an effort to switch up his flow at a certain point, even if he doesn’t divert from its core. Overall, it may be a standard Von song at the end of the day, but it’s yet another one where his talents shine through. If you haven’t heard “Heartless” yet, check it out on your preferred streaming service and read some notable bars below. As always, come back to HNHH for more on Tee Grizzley, King Von, and more great rap music each week.

Quotable Lyrics
They don’t like us? Tell ’em shake somethin’ (Shake somethin’), I don’t f**k with these n***as, I’m straight on ’em (Straight),
Gas ’em up, we put brakes on ’em (Stop it), shooters at the crib, can’t lay on me (Can’t)

I’m a rare breed, want another me? My n***a, it ain’t one (One of one)

King Von’s Upcoming Posthumous Album “Grandson” Divides Fans

July 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Grandson will be King Von’s next posthumous release, as his estate recently announced via social media. Moreover, the project is scheduled to release on July 14, and the cover art features a black and white picture of the rapper’s son wearing a fitted hat and OTF and O’Block chains. While this is obviously very exciting news for fans, it’s also something that made them cautious and skeptical. After all, other posthumous releases are bloated, disrespectful, or poorly put together in fans’ eyes. As such, the comments section under the announcement split fans into optimistic excitement and wary assessment.

Of course, plenty of comments just feature fire and heart emojis, indicating a simple but powerful support of the album and King Von’s musical legacy. “Finally! This gonna slap. We ready,” one fan expressed. “Please don’t give us dry a** features that Von prolly wouldn’t have did ready to hear this tho fasho,” another wrote. If his most recent single “Robberies” is anything to go by, though, this will probably still hold itself to a higher standard of quality. Still, some fans have the worst-case scenario in mind, which has unfortunately affected a lot of deceased artists’ posthumous work.

King Von’s Estate Announces Grandson For July 14 Release

“Stop milking this dead mans music and let him rest,” one user commented under the announcement of Grandson. “bro is they doing what i think they doin ……….. A.I genarated,” another feared, although that’s purely speculation. “Don’t f**k this album up gang,” another replied bluntly. Even though these doubts exist for fans, there’s also just as many people ready to support his estate and to celebrate what could’ve been of King Von’s career. Perhaps it will end up being one of the more acclaimed hip-hop albums of the year, and even the fans who are naysayers hope that’s the case.

Meanwhile, the Chicago MC continues to inspire stories around his life, struggles, and lasting impact as an artist. Many who blasted a recent documentary about his criminal life dedicate themselves to preserving his memory in more positive ways. Von’s estate knows the pressure, and hopefully (and probably) won’t taint his catalog for a quick buck. For more news and the latest updates on King Von, check back in with HNHH.

King Von Resorts To “Robberies” On New Posthumous Single

June 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

While people continue to speak on the legal issues that King Von was wrapped up in before his tragic passing, his musical legacy speaks louder than any headline could. With more new music presumably on the way, we have a new posthumous single from the Chicago MC with “Robberies.” Moreover, the track once again proves how talented and vivid of a storyteller he is in his tracks about street life and hardships. Of course, the beat here doesn’t slouch, and turns the narrative into a banging and engaging song that locks listeners in to his bars. Overall, this is an exciting look at the future of his musical output, which hopefully is treated with respect, consideration, and his family’s wishes in mind.

To start with the instrumental (courtesy of ATL Jacob), menacing and high-pitched strings form an intoxicating triplet pattern to lead the melody on “Robberies.” By the time the drums kick in, the track already entranced you, and King Von’s voice rings through in the production in a way that makes the drums hit even harder. Sure, it’s not the most progressive or evolutionary instrumental, but extra bells and whistles could’ve easily dampened the narrative at hand. As such, it’s exactly the kind of beat that the What It Means To Be King rhymer floats on with ease, and that compliments the rough yet delicate nature of his bars.

King Von’s “Robberies”: Stream

Lyrically, he focuses on having to resort to robbery to make a buck for himself amid an eviction notice. With that in mind, he represents the struggle behind his criminal activity in a way that paints it as a means to an end and not a particularly enjoyable or desired experience. Also, King Von’s verse goes from robbing somebody to that person eventually running up on him, making for a clean and satisfying circular narrative despite its dark content. Still, let us know how you felt about “Robberies” in the comments or find it on your preferred streaming service if you haven’t checked it out already. In addition, peep some standout bars below and return to HNHH for the latest great releases in hip-hop.

Quotable Lyrics
I gotta go, don’t be wastin’ my time in here (Uh-uh)
I grab the bag out the back, it was full of the pack of that finest ex*tic, man
Then I let him go and got back on the road (Uh-huh)
Heard him whisper, “Boy, I’m gonna find your a**” (Man, what?)
