Late rappers XXXTentacion and King Von are set to receive posthumous releases, allowing their music to continue reaching fans even after their untimely deaths.

Almost three years after his tragic death, King Von’s music continues to preserve his legacy and ring through speakers everywhere. What’s more is that his loved ones, family, and industry peers are always there to support and celebrate it. Moreover, his mother Tasha recently popped out in the club, and a video surfaced of her rapping his now-classic track “Crazy Story” word for word. “But this what happen, I got to the door, I thought I was cappin’,” the song goes.
“I was lacking, ’cause there go the opps, yellin’ out, ‘What’s crackin’?’” Furthermore, she spit bars back to her friends, who were also singing along to the track booming through the venue.
While the Chicago rapper is unfortunately not with us to see what became of his impact, it’s so deep that even its negative assumptions continue to plague his memory. For example, King Von recently faced accusations of snitching on what FBG Butta did involving the murder of Odee Perry. Of course, many fans came to his defense, but also reflected on just how much people speak on him after his passing. “You know your name holds weight when you are still a problem after you die,” one fan shared on social media regarding the allegations.

Regardless, his loved ones and family continue to uplift and prioritize the positive effects he had on those around him. Even in the smallest of ways, it’s important to remember that the O Block MC was as human as the rest of us. For example, Taesha recently posted some pictures of King Von when he was in high school. Regardless of what circumstances and choices plagued him throughout his entire life, to only consider him as a product of those would be an insult to his memory.
On that note, a controversial documentary on him titled “Rap’s First Serial Killer” drew the ire and interest of many fans. YouTube took it down and reinstated it multiple times, causing many family members and close friends to blast its accusations and the dark image it portrays. Hopefully the future holds more well-rounded and reflective ways to honor the legacy of yet another rapper whose life was cut tragically short.

Even years after his death, King Von continues to remain on the mind of his ops. He’s been linked to no shortage of criminal activity post-mortem, but according to Chicago rapper FBG Butta, the late lyricist once snitched on him regarding the murder of Odee Perry. Obviously, Von is no longer with us to substantiate these claims, however, the alleged killer sounded confident in his story when telling it online last week.
“He and his brothers told me for slappin’ they homie,” Butta yelled during an Instagram Live argument with two others recently. “Send me the paperwork,” another person in the chat demanded, speaking over the FBG artist as hundreds of comments poured in from enticed viewers. “I don’t speak on that shit, them n*ggas told on me, he continued to rant. “Them n*ggas told told!” Much of what comes after is incomprehensible, but as many social media users are pointing out, Butta may have told on himself with his next statement.

“They gave me 192 years for killin’ a muthaf*cka and I blamed it on my dead sister,” he proudly declared amid the chaos. Now that footage from the live is circulating online, reactions continue to pour in. “This n*gga just told on himself 
,” one person wrote on @nojumper’s post. “Is it REALLY snitching if you lie on the opps tho?… 
,” another user asked. Elsewhere, someone praised Von for his ability to stay under people’s skins posthumously. “You know your name holds weight when you are still a problem after you die 
,” they praised the embattled artist.
Born Dayvon Daquan Bennett, the “Crazy Story” hitmaker lost his life at age 26 in Atlanta during a November 2020 shooting. He left behind three children, former lovers, and plenty of friends and fans. The altercation resulting in his demise was with members of Quando Rondo’s crew, and ultimately saw one more death as well as injuries sustained by six others. Do you believe FBG Butta’s snitching allegations about King Von? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Remember Akademiks saying NBA Youngboy and Lil Durk were calling off their beef? That sounds like cap. Youngboy blasted Akademiks on Instagram over sales numbers while throwing a jab at Durkio in the process.
“This pussy ass nigga Akademiks. Actin’ like I give a fuck about numbers.I just dropped two weeks ago. This pussy ass nigga finna drop. Bitch, I ain’t worried about no numbers.”
– NBA Youngboy
He added a bit more, “All you like to do is get drunk and talk shit. That one gon’ get you fucked up.”
On Twitter, Ak acknowledged the diss and offered some push back:
“Lol I never thought I see the day my homie diss me cuz his sales low. This rap game is the devil lol. Youngboy I forgive u man. We can get them sales up otherwise …… lol. But ok.”
Earlier this week, DJ Akademiks stated the beef between Lil Durk and NBA Youngboy, is officially called off. Ak stated the beef was over while he streamed on Wednesday.
“That beef is squashed,” Ak said. “I’m serious. Durk and YoungBoy don’t have beef no more.”

The legacy of King Von lives on today and will continue to do so, whether through his musical impact or the testimonies of those closest to him. While that legacy is subject to slander and narratives that displease his loved ones, they are there to defend the late rapper and set stories straight. However, this case is more of a curious story than anything else. Moreover, his friend J Hood recently reflected on some good times with the Chicago MC, particularly when he wanted $50 to buy Hood some clothes. When Von asked close friend Lil Durk, Hood claimed that Durk wouldn’t give a stranger some of his bag.
“I ain’t got no tight money, n***a, my money tight,” Hood remarked about his experience with Smurk and King Von. “You feel me? So Durk walk in, the man got a rack. I’m talking about crazy money. And Von like, ‘Aye bro, let me get fifty dollars. I’m ’bout to go take Hood to the mall to get folk some new clothes and whatnot.’ That n***a whispered- on my life. Real truth. And so, he straight whispered to him, ‘I don’t know that n***a.’ Fifty dollars! That Von said he was gon’ give him back. Not that he was just- n***a, he had a rack, do you hear what I’m saying? He rich, millionaire. Millionaire!”

Whether you agree with The Voice’s reasoning or not, this was apparently when Von himself was just starting up as an artist. As such, it’s understandable that he would be asking for favors in these cases while displaying the character necessary to keep his word. In addition, it’s even commendable that the “Don’t Play That” rapper would want to treat his friend to some fresh drip. Not everyone has that sense when they feel fame approaching.
Regardless, he went on to develop an illustrious and beloved career that saw a tragic end. In the years since, many dedicated their tales to how he was before the fame and gave more illuminating portraits of his perspective and life. Considering that situation, Durk was surely proud of him for reaching the point to where, if he wanted to buy a friend some clothes, he had the resources to do so on his own.

In a recent tweet, Asian Da Brat stated that the documentary King Von: Rap’s First Serial Killer falsely labeled him as a serial killer. Following the release of the documentary, fans took to Twitter to share their own reactions, with some alleging that Von was indeed a serial killer. On April 11, a documentary titled […]
The post Asian Da Brat Denies King Von Documentary “Serial Killer” Allegations appeared first on SOHH.com.
The documentary about King Von, Rap’s First Serial Killer, has been divisive, to say the least. The documentary, released on YouTube, was briefly removed before being restored to the site on Wednesday. However, fans of the late rapper have sprung to his defense. They call the documentary “speculation” and criticize the presentation of theory as fact.
Rap’s First Serial Killer, created by Trap Lore Ross, alleges that King Von was responsible for at least ten murders prior to his 2020 death. This includes the death of Malcolm Stuckey, for which King Von was acquitted in 2017. Now Von’s former partner, rapper Asian Doll, is speaking out about the documentary.
In now-deleted tweets, Asian hit back about Rap’s First Serial Killer, calling it “not true.”. She also argued, “How They Tell A Story About Somebody That DIED before he could tell his own.” Furthermore, the second tweet reposted to Instagram by theneighborhoodtalk is in reference to a claim that the documentary isn’t saying anything that King Von hadn’t already said. As a top comment on the documentary reads, “The wild part is folks can’t be mad at dude for making this documentary the same information he’s sharing is the same information that Von HIMSELF and his peers put out there, NOBODY ELSE. This information was already there he just cumulated all of it into one complete video.” Despite this belief, Asian makes a valid point.
The claim that Von was a “serial killer” is a heavily disputed one. Aside from the Stuckey murder that he was acquitted of, Von was attached to two other murders. He was arrested in 2019 in connection with the robbery and murder of Alexander Witherspoon in Atlanta. Von was released on a $300,000 bond. Additionally, in 2021, nearly a year after Von’s death, Chicago police labeled Von as responsible for the 2014 murder of Gakirah “K.I.” Barnes. However, they stated that they had been unable to prosecute him due to a lack of cooperating witnesses. Despite this, and whatever supporters of the documentary may have, Von’s case will forever be unsolved. Unless full-proof evidence emerges, the claims that he was a “serial killer” are merely theories.

Fivio Foreign gained recognition after the release of his hit single “Big Drip,” which got a remix treatment that featured Lil Baby and Quavo. He has continued to rise the ranks of New York’s new school rappers with his critically acclaimed debut, B.I.B.L.E. BigFish released the album in April 2022 with distribution from Columbia Records.
B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) debuted at No. 9 on the US Billboard 200 chart. It sold 29,000 equivalent units and has so far garnered 37.75 million streams. Additionally, Fivio Foreign has two official EPs; Pain and Love (2019) and 800 B.C (2020). He has also featured in numerous hit singles from artists like Drake, Kanye West, and Lil Tjay. These are some of his best songs so far.
This is the single that shot Fivio Foreign into the limelight. His 2019 800 BC mixtape features the original record and remix. The remix features Atlanta trap star Lil Baby and former Migos member, Quavo. Big Drip has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling a million equivalent single units. BigFish/Colombia Records released and distributed the song. AXL Beats produced the single.
“Head Shot” is one of the lead singles of Lil Tjay’s sophomore album, Born 2 Win, released in 2021. Fivio features on the record alongside Chicago native Polo G. The single has been certified platinum by the RIAA. It debuted at No. 21 on the US Billboard R&B and Hip-Hop Chart and No. 42 on the US Chart. Bordeaux and Non Native produced the single with contributions from 101 Slide, Dmac, and Tahj Money.
The lead single is the highest-charting song from the rapper’s B.I.B.L.E. album. It features Kanye West, who delivers a stellar verse, and Alicia Keys delivers a memorable repetitive hook. Ye returns the favor on “City of Gods” after Fivio was featured on his song “Off the Grid.” The song is another New York anthem that floats over Fivio Foreign’s signature drill beat.
“City of Gods” peaked at No. 46 on the US Billboard Chart and No. 15 on the R&B and Hip-Hop chart. The RIAA has certified the song Gold for half a million equivalent units sold. AyoAA, Hemz, and Kanye West produced “City of Gods”. Additionally, Lil Mav, Ojivolta, and The Chainsmokers have production credits on the song.
The single is from the late King Von’s debut album, Welcome to O’Block. Chopsquad DJ produced “I Am What I Am” as the official fourth single off the album. The single has been certified Gold by the RIAA and has been viewed 74 million times on YouTube. The record sees King Von and Fivio Foreign trade bars on grimy drill themes like sex, gun violence, and life in the inner cities.
Lil Tjay, now a frequent Fivio Foreign collaborator, delivers a catchy hook and an above-average hook on his song “Not in the Mood.” However, Fivio steals the show with the delivery of his verse. The song also features Kay Flock. BS Beats and AyoAA handled the production of the song. “Not in the Modd” peaked at No. 22 on the R&B and Hip-Hop chart and No. 62 on the US Chart. It has amassed 31 million views on YouTube.
Fivio Foregn’s heat reached the 6 God, Drake, and he decided to bring him on his Dark Lanes Demo Tapes project. The project debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is certified platinum. “Demons” features a Fivio Foreign guest verse. The song sees Drake, Fivio, and Sosa Geek take turns delivering bars on the now-popular drill beat. Fivio’s cadence was impeccable. The single peaked at No. 20 on the R&B Chart and No. 34 on the US Chart. JB Made It produced the beat.
“Zoo York” comes off Lil Tjay’s third EP, State of Emergency, distributed by Columbia Records. The song features Fivio Foreign and the late drill rapper Pop Smoke. The words ‘Zoo York’ are a play on words extrapolated from New York, which the artists on the song call home. “Zoo York” has been certified platinum by the RIAA. It peaked at No. 28 on the R&B and Hip-Hop chart and No. 65 on the US Chart. Bordeaux and Non Native produced “Zoo York.” The song has been viewed 57 million times on YouTube since it was uploaded two years ago.
Fivio Foreign jumps on the “Off the Grid” single from the then highly anticipated Donda album from Kanye West. This is Fivio’s highest-peaking featured single. The song reached No. 4 on the US R&B and Hih-Hop Chart and No. 11 on the US Chart. “Off the Grid” also features an eerie verse from Playboy Carti. Kanye, 30 Roc AyoAA, Ojivolta David & Eli, and Sloane produced the over five minutes track. The album and the song have been certified platinum in the United States by the RIAA.
King Von’s mom posted some sweet photos of him as part of a throwback on her social media. The post comes just days after the release of a Youtube documentary about Von that alleges he murdered ten people before he himself was killed. The video was made by Youtuber Trap Lore Ross. After it was posted, it was subsequently taken down. The reasons for this are still unknown. When it happened, Ross simply took to Twitter to announce that he was working on getting it back up. It could have been a simple copyright strike for something in the video. On the other hand, Von’s team may have been trying to get it taken down. It has since been reinstated.
The documentary isn’t the only thing that’s come out in the press about King Von. In 2021, the FBI named Von as the culprit in the killing of 17-year-old Gakirah “K.I.” Barnes. Both the rapper and Barnes were members of Chicago gangs. Earlier this year, FBI witnesses also revealed that he had put a $100k hit out on FBG Duck. Just days later, Duck’s mother took to Instagram to reveal that Von was also involved in the killing of Boss Trell. “Von allegedly killed Trell, him, and T. Roy,” she said. “Only the streets know and only the people who did it know, so that’s why I’m saying ‘allegedly’.”
Although King Von may have been “Rap’s First Serial Killer,” as the documentary alleges, his mother remembers him as a son. In her throwback post, there are two pictures of a young Von. The first is a picture of the late rapper on what looks to be graduation day. The second is a school picture in which Von wears a green button-up shirt dress shirt. The pictures show King Von in a very different light than the documentary, and it shows that he was a complex person. Commenters, however, were quick to point out that he was not so innocent.
Instagram account No Jumper reposted the photos, and many users took to the comments to sound off their opinions. One pointed out, “Already had 2 bodies.” This is in reference to the fact that Von had allegedly already begun killing as a teenager. Another user chimed in to say, “Bro was a literal living baby demon catching bodies.” Regardless of King Von’s history, it is always heartbreaking to see a mother that has to grieve a dead child. What do you think of the photos? Let us know in the comments!
