Twitter has exploded with “RIP King Von” posts following reports the Chicago native was shot during an altercation in Atlanta, Georgia. On Friday (November 6), the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported gunfire erupted outside of the Monaco Hookah Lounge during a fight between two large groups of people.
Two people were killed, one person, thought to be King Von, was rushed to the local hospital in critical condition and two others were injured but in stable condition.
Shortly after the news broke, King Von’s close friend and producer Chopsquad DJ confirmed the 26-year-old rapper succumbed to his injuries in an Instagram post.
“My heart can’t take this,” he captioned a photo of himself with Von. “No bro. Why you. Why bro. Just please FaceTime me bro. Why they had to take you. Ima see you again this shit ain’t over. It’s far from over. We still just getting started. RIP my Bestfriend. The only n-gga to listen to me word for word from day 1.
“We sat on FaceTime for hours making songs together. Every bar had a meaning and every song was a part of our soul. Every moment meant something and to grow wit you made me feel like I was a real producer. I love you bro.”
The incident reportedly took place around 3 a.m. local time. Two off-duty police officers, who were working security at the club, did shoot back but were not injured.
“That physical altercation escalated into an exchange of gunfire with those groups,” Atlanta police Deputy Chief Timothy Peek said. “Two police officers who were working at that particular club, or lounge, noticed the altercation and engaged some of the people involved. There was an exchange of gunfire with police as well.”
King Von Reportedly In Critical Condition Following Fatal Atlanta Shooting
King Von was just beginning to gain national notoriety. Signed to Lil Durk’s record label Only The Family, he released his latest album Welcome To O’Block on October 30. HipHopDX sends our condolences to all those who loved him.

Really man, it’s the internet…don’t let these keyboard Warriors get you that upset…it’s the innanet, trolling is the new normal
Big facts. These snot nosed shit locked retards are going no where fast. They think they have some exclusive culture lmao its called the criminal underground lmfao. Buncha fatherless children raised by psychotic black women. I am ashamed to be in the same country as them. My children will never be allowed around them.
Very sad. May this young man rest easy
Hes alleged to have killed 5-7 people… is it really that sad?
wasnt aware of that. it is still sad for sure, death is sad in all cases. its also sad that we didnt get to find out if those alleged killings were carried out by him. its sad that those families now may never get justice. sad all around my guy.
@Hip-Hop culture is wack!
Rap is something you do, Hip Hop is something you live! -KRS-One
Yeah try telling that to King Von’s family, bet that will give them some real comfort, knowing “Hip-Hop is something you live” when their family member has just been killed over stupid shit like many other young black men in “Hip-Hop culture”
How does one “live” hip hop anyway???????????????????????????????????
By creating art, dj, rap, entrepreneur ship, dance, other art forms not as a hobby but state of mind, way of viewing the world, an attitude, a lyfe
Another day in hip hop. Another shitty “rapper” dead.
U a bitch
Lmao it makes ur blood boil that nobody respects you or your wanna be gang banger idols
RIP … no going to lie … that o block album isn’t that bad
Pretend ‘DJ’ wackydemix is lying for police again I see, saying police didn’t kill him (unarmed) in order to try and prevent anger against the police. He a deep deep deep op for real. Bf of rat69, gassing beef that gets rappers killed, clowning .. Fvck this “dj” who never touched a mixer in his life. Gossiping bstard
You mad b? Hahahahah
He’s not in my head rent free. If he wants to live in my head I would not accept his application. Even if he offered cash upfront o mortgage. He might want to live in my head but nope. Not allowed. Living inside a head wud b cramped but then he is small overweight ugly guy.
He is police and justice will prevail, he will get his deserved bad ending, working to destroy young men’s lives for satan 12
Well unfortunately who didn’t see this coming. RIP King Von
Looks like he got caught slippin. Booze had him not paying attentionz
Unfortunately this is a lesson to all the young dudes who fail to learn from their elders. You made it, stop moving with shooters because they’re gonna get you killed. You dont have to be in that life anymore or surround yourself with those kinds of people, if they’re your homies they will keep you out of harm’s way. Tired of seeing young people get killed over dumb shit
Thanks for stating the obvious
Is it obvious though? Because people keep dying over this obvious shit you waste of sperm.
Live by the gun,die by the gun
murder under murder………rappers die due to what they all get into…….rest in peaces
This is the same dude that killed 1 and critically shot 2 others for eye balling him. Fuck it, this is why you all hate Tekashi, cause he didn’t take that gangster way out. So don’t cry, celebrate that he went out the same way he lived.
He WUZ kang
Black lives matter fam!! I wonder who killed him!? A rac ist white police?! L0L
Meh. We bout to get trump up out the White House hehe. Will have a lot of users on here n their feelings. America will finally be great
What a shame couldnt have happened to a better guy! Im sure it will be a real loss to the community. One less shit locked snot nosed murderer off the streets. How will chicago ever cope?
Sadly, there’s not one other genre in music where this happens. Gangstas, crime, repeat, repeat, repeat. Why do you actively have to go to war with one another. Over pride? Over nickels? GTFOH.
Young boys wanna beef and fight everybody, then end up like this. Gotta be smarter than that. You on foreign territory, let it go.
Didn’t he mock FBG Duck’s mom after he died a few months ago or am I thinking of someone else?
Nope you’re right on the money
Its funny how ppl are real disrespectful but yet they are always on the internet being trolls like 4 real at least he lived his life came up and managed to do something wit his life yea its crazy he lived his life the way he did but at the end if the day its a life ao put some respect on his name and let the man rest up cause the only difference is he was somebody and when u die or get shot or something bad youll just be a nobody
If you choose to idolize pieces of shit thats your own business, but i’ll be damned if you are about to preach at normal people for not giving a rats ass that a sewer rat low life got merked. You chose your life you wanna be gang banger groupie, nobody owes you shit.
since u wonna fact check lats put it like this everybody live they own life everybody idolize somebody every body got s ghetto hero, everybody wonna be like somebody u sound like a white boi that idolize black ppl just cause we live the life we live i well u sound kinda mad 🙂 So b4 you do some kind of fact check and research king von and stop internet trolling
Guess he wasn’t really bout that life he talk about. Pussys always go first. Meanwhile Tekashi fuckin his girl and saying “Told ya so”
young father. flourishing rap career. out on 300k bail for over a year. and still chose to be out there thuggin. smh. it’s sad to see these kids weren’t raised to see the value in themselves
That mfer wasnt lookin so tough when he was flopping around on the ground like a fish outta water. Anybody can get got. What goes around comes around you dumb fucks.
This page has become a cesspool of melted humanity. No respect for the living or dead. Too many weak ass cowards with all the guns anyone could imagine. A coward with power is always the most dangerous person to even deal with in any fashion. May this brothers soul rest, prayers up to his family and loved ones for strength and understanding. Far too many young, talented people out here dying for absolutely nothing. This whole entire world needs to smoke one and sit the fuck down for a minute.
Whats sick and sad is that you actually out here acting like he was worth a shit. Thats why nobody believes that BLM garbage. Satan himself would be defended as long as he was black. What the other black men this piece of garbage killed? You dont care about them you just wanna be a gang banger groupie and try to preach to normal people.
2 weeks ago his ex Asian Doll was saying for a guy to talk to her he has to have at least 3 bodies under his belt because she likes killers. Now the killer got killed and shes crying about how she wants to die, LOL
Lmfaoooo facts only bro
Wait… with that logic wouldn’t she thot hop to the killer who killed King Von since he now has more 3 more bodies?
#BLM I guess? A cop pulls over the guy who killed King Von, the guy charges at the cop with a knife, THEN there are Riots/Protests. SMH. Sad.
Lol play stupid games, win stupid prizes. When you beef with the world and talk shit over social media, it’s bound to come back to you in real life
For the record:
Hip Hop is not hate. Hip Hop is not violent. Hip Hop welcomes all and judges you on the skill that you brought to the circle for all to see, examine and judge, if you choose to be in the circle. Your peers tell you you need practice or you are a master. Does not matter what your elemental talents are. Don’t confuse immaturity with Hip Hop.
Peace goes out.
Rest in power King Von
What a joke. Hip hop culture is the most racist, prejudiced, hateful culture there is. They do not welcome all. U couldnt even say that with a straight face.
No that’s the Republican Party if I’m not mistaken.
Looks like his eyebrows died before the rest of him. Bleccchh.
Choke in a COVID-19 Tainted dick
r.i.p……………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Every time a rapper or random black person gets murdered a bunch of racist cowards feel the need to say the same thing over and over again. These clowns would never say anything remotely similar in front of a black person. Stay in your lane, this is none of your business. RIP King Von
I don’t care about saying the same thing remotely similar in front of a black person who supports the terrorist organization BLM without first reflecting on what’s been going on in his OWN community and how they got there. And I won’t cross the street to even be in the same space with them in the ghetto cos we’re different. So yes, keep being “woke” right there.
How we got here?? You joking right?
Who?
(was tryna reply to someone else who asked how do u live hip hop. Krs wrote the gospel book abt dat. He said “rap us sumn u do, hip hop is sumn u live”)
Rest easy folllks David is waiting for his grandson 2414 for life and death
Now that the Democrats exploited the plight of African Americans these past 4 years. Let’s watch them do nothing as usual about Black on Black crime.
Dude was living a wicked lifestyle.. I’m pretty sure he has caught many bodies as well so it’s kinda ironic people would feel sad for him losing his own life.. Losing your life can come with being a thug.. The universe is listening to every signal you put out…if you keep knocking on deaths door that muthafucka is eventually gonna answer you… Rip tho
I know the name. But I have to admit I know nothing about him.
No sympathy at all for this dude…What do you expect would happen? Lol
u a scaredy lil bitch go back to bed its night night 4 u…
But I thought he was the Kang tho??
You know you were a shiitty person when you die and no one has anything nicw to say about you
YO da killa got kilt B
Ppl were pissed when they thought cops did it, ready to riot..til it was proven it was just a rapper now everythings ok again LOL
Didnt you know Black Lives Matter people only get mad when a white cop kills a black person while they were commiting a crime. Duh
Very dumb statement that I’m tired of reading or hearing. When a white person kill a white person, or a black person kills a black person, no one gets mad as long as they are cops that kill them. And reason is simple…because you aren’t expected to kill the peoples you are sworn to protect. Duh
I wonder if any of the people this guy kilt got there own article on here when they died like Kang Vons did?
Sadly, there’s a lot of positive reinforcement in our community for living the kind of life King Von chose to portrait which ultimately led to his death. We’re not a violent people, we’ve just been traumatized. But it’s been long time for us to stop perpetuating the violence and disrespect we so loosely accuse others of. Peace and RIP
Let me go shoot someone I got a problem with and see if that shit won’t come back to me someway or somehow
Man Chicago nggaz is like a bad infectious disease. Everything they touch everywhere they go it’s death distruction and chaos. They need to all be quarantined forever. MFs is hopeless
