Charleston White has been very outspoken as of late, and in one of his most recent interviews he shared a controversial take on King Von‘s death.
Speaking to DJ Akademiks on his Fresh & Fit podcast, the former gang member-turned-internet personality said the late Chicago rapper’s death was not “unfortunate” but instead the result of “choices and decisions” following Von’s alleged involvement in multiple homicides.
“King Von was known to be a killer,” White told Akademiks. “A man who killed Black people. A man who was accused of killing a Black girl … He’s celebrated, right? You got celebrities who take pictures in front of his mural. What about his victims family? … Why don’t y’all ever speak for them?”
After Akademiks mentioned how King Von’s death was unfortunate, Charleston White retorted with an opposing viewpoint and said this was because he’s on the “victims side.”
“Let’s look at his death. He had finally made it out of the ghetto, he finally made it. He had just come home from beating murder cases, brother,” White told Akademiks. “Let’s look at how serious this is. There are murder cases on his file that he beat. He gets released because the witnesses come up dead. Let’s be real with this shit, homie. The witnesses came up dead. Black people! Nobody ever spoke about that.
“He gets released, and he becomes this megastar, rapping about his murders. What about those victims? What about their families, watching this man, who they think is a demon, the most horrible person in the world, reap the rewards for being a killer. What about those people? I’m thinking about those people.”
White continued: “Fuck that idol! That idol is a demon! A self-proclaimed demon! N-gga, I don’t ride with demons. When did Black people start riding with demons, homie? We got grandmothers who pray, mothers who say, ‘Son, bless your food before you eat it.’ So I’m looking at this and everybody is siding with King Von.
“What about these victims over here who nobody shining the light on? So, these people are hurting; they don’t have a voice. They don’t have nobody [who] can say, ‘Man, fuck them.’ But they saying, ‘Fuck King Von because he’s been accused of killing their people.
“So, when I get the knowledge and the information that [King Von] is a killer and these are the victims — n-gga, I don’t give a damn about no killer who’s bragging about killing people … So, when I look at King Von’s circumstance, I don’t say it’s unfortunate, I say that was a man that worked hard to die.”
600Breezy Says Quando Rondo Affiliate Lul Tim 'Wasn't Wrong' For Killing King Von
King Von (real name Dayvon Bennett) was shot on November 6, 2020 during an altercation with Quando Rondo’s crew. Another Chicago man, 34-year-old Mark Blakely, also lost his life that day. Timothy Leeks (also known as Lul Tim), who was also shot during the incident, was arrested for Von’s murder.
White then went on to speculate what happened the night King Von was killed. “[King Von] was woken up out of his sleep, wasn’t he? He was somewhere chillin’, minding his business, [and] somebody said, ‘Hey, there go the Quando kid.’ He wake up out his sleep to go bring hurt and harm to somebody and die.”
He then told Akademiks: “You want me to feel sorry for a man who was looking to intentionally go hurt another brother, and his brother kill the killer? Nah. I don’t find that unfortunate. No, not at all. Choices and decisions, brother.”
The alleged killings White claimed King Von to be responsible for include the May 2014 murder of Malcolm Stuckey in Englewood, Chicago, which also saw two other men shot but they survived. Von was charged with one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder. After witnesses failed to testify in 2017, the charges were dropped.
In July 2021, Chicago police released documents concluding that King Von was responsible for the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Gangster Disciples member Gakirah “K.I.” Barnes in April 2014, but were unable to prosecute him due to inconsistencies in witness statements.
Meanwhile, White was recently involved in an altercation with Soulja Boy in Miami, during which he’s said to have pulled out pepper spray to mace Big Draco. The pair have been going back and forth on social media ever since.
This guy keeps mentioning how the victims were black. Would he be cool with them being white then? Sounds racist. But we all know black people can’t be racist, right..
He don’t even know what he talking about cuz he sayin what about the victim. Whys he even speaking on Gang related murders The victim he accused of killing in 2014 was a known Gangster discipline who also had bodies. It’s all gang violence, it’s not like they was shooting randoms on some serial killer shit, it was all Gang related so he best to mind his business.
And that’s why I am 100% ok with black ppl killing black ppl. Please don’t stop. Thank you in advance
You can’t be racist against white people lol…Fuck white people they ruined the world
Yes…100%. Fuck white ppl. BUT pls don’t stop killing your own kind. Don’t chance anything. Keep doing what y’all doing. Thx
Dummy. It’s not about that you autistic fool.
Fuck you nigger
Yes, he’s racist. He thinks Chinese people should be killed and Chinese should be raped.
He’s got White in his name so he definitely can’t be trusted. Ignore him. He’s a known snitch/informant.
Yeah clowns like you stay celebrating these murderers. You’re a disgrace to black people (if you’re even black). Take a seat at the kids table, child.
Slap yourself for even say that. I don’t wish death on anybody regardless of the situation and neither should he. That’s the problem with our society now, we’re passing judging on each other too much.
Hmmm
My step-sister is white , like me ..but her last name is “Black.”
Damn. I see what you mean.
She need change her last name asap. Thanks for the advice
So she shouldn’t be trusted I guess.
White people are the best smartest race on the planet lucky you niggers are aloud to live wit us
what a mf asshole u finna be the next white bitch thinking he superior and get hurt cuz you only got that pepper spray
like behind every rap hip hop artist is a gangster. he don’t go out there looking for trouble.
Not true, there’s Lil Nas X,Saucy Santana, King Combs, and Big Freedia. They’re just gay rappers who think they’re divas lol.
well you know. if they ain’t fronting they have the connections.
Isn’t he a murderer too. Kinda hypocritical way of thinking there, buddy.
Fuck it, it’s all Ye’s fault. Yeah… that’s right l said it……Ye. Since y’all are all about pointing fingers at everyone then you might as well blame him too. He could’ve helped uplift his community more and gave back but nope he up and left and never looked back. How selfish right. He became a successful producer, rapper, fashion designer, billionaire, and gay fish. *Sarcasm*
I blame you. It’s all your faul because you are really stupid. I mean like really really stupid
Wow, you really believe what I just said. You’re an idiot. I was being sarcastic. I even said that at the end but I guess you can’t read too well either. I was joking since White wants to blame King Von since he’s from Chicago.
“N***** Don’t Read.”
Hahahahaa i really didn’t read till the end……. Ups
Hahahahaa i really didn’t read till the end……. Ups
CW says a lot of things, but this time he is 1000% right.
alr cool say w.e. you think u got rights to your opinion but he was a killer killin killers he wasn’t no mf serial killer doing it for fun just cuz he thought it was cool girl was a murderer nothing was ever proved anyways “eye whitness” my ass if you too pussy to show up to court to testify that shit then i guess it never happened right? 17 34 97 you a killer your a killer simple as that 7 year old bitch had at least 15 bodies over her head and she woulda kept killing von just put a stop to the shit is all. Look at it from both sides what if you were one of that bitches victims? would your family miss you? how would your family feel if some dude came out saved everyone else she was boutta kill from being killed? I’m sure your family would be happy to know your killer got laid to rest cuz you never really laid to rest till the justice has been done 🙂 said respectfully.
He was a serial killer, if you killed 3 people or more, it makes you a serial killer, it has nothing to do with having fun while killing. A lot of gang members are serial killers, it’s just called gang violence instead.
He was a drill rapper, he was already destined to die. Only the chosen one/originator (Chief Keef) has been able to avoid the curse so far.
Regardless about what you think about Charleston, good or bad, he’s definitely a government plant who has been dropped in hip-hop to play this role. I’m sure they got him moving around with secret service-level security. You can’t say the stuff he say and not get the brakes beat off you at the least, and shot to death at the worst. Ain’t no pepper spray gon keep people off you who trying to get you.
Y’all dumbasses need to quit with this “government plant” shit. You think they give a fuck about drill rappers killing each other? C’mon son.
Heavy Rotation, you a goofball. What’s understood don’t need to be explained. The Black Panthers and the US Party thought the same thing. The government is not worried about little old us, that’s what they thought. The Panthers became larger than life over time. At the time of their existence, it wasn’t like that. They were not a famous as the famous rappers are today. And what does Drill rappers have to do with it? I’m talking about Charleston White in general.
Bunch o n
Still, Nobody will Slide 4 Von
Von did kinda instigate the fight and got banged on in retaliation. It’s also stated in Newton’s third law for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Karma gets everyone eventually no matter what the situation or who you are. Rappers need to take more time to think about there actions before they and the possible consequences before just reacting to situations otherwise it’s going to always end up with the same tragic results.
Well, there is some truth in his trolling but to celebrate death is just foulness.
What a backwards, dumbass comment. You mean the same way King Von celebrated the deaths of all those he killed?
Your brain is poisoned.
All facts
YOU CAN SEE STRAIGHT THROUGH HIS ACT. JUST ANOTHER DIRTY ASS N ONLINE STIRRING THE POT FOR CLOUT. HE DID THIS WITH NIPSEY, DMX, AND NOW KING VON.
LOL, you sound mad that your favorite rapper is dead. you weak bitch
Charleston keep Campaigning eventually he is going to get Elected!!!
why are you putting ‘killer’ in quotes? its vastly known he’s killed at least six people including ki, the girl that killed odee
KI didn’t really have no bodies tho but she was affiliated and respected but she wasn’t all like that.
Ain’t this the same dude that confessed to raping women that tried to “lighted it up by claiming he only raped white women cause he wouldn’t do it to black women” and who also praised Nipsey Hussle death. King von did what he did on some gangsta ish against other killers who participated in the same lifestyle who also did what he did they weren’t doin ish to regular innocent civilians it’s all part of the game.
