King Von spent a lot of time in and out of jail during his life, and now new footage has emerged of the late rapper telling police heâs âgayâ in hopes of being moved to another cell.
Leaked bodycam footage from November 2017 surfaced on social media this week, and shows Von informing cops of his purported sexual orientation in an attempt to be transferred to another area of the jail and receive protective custody.

âBecause of your sexual orientation, youâre requesting protective custody, is that correct?â one officer asks Von, who replies: âYes.â
âThey could be Christian, they got a problem with gay people. Bye, Lil Josh,â he then says while jokingly blowing a kiss to prove his point. âIâma fuck you too. They tried to let me suck they dick.â

Plenty of King Vonâs friends and collaborators came to the late rapperâs defense and cleared the air regarding his sexuality. Fellow Chicago native No Limit Kyro claimed the real reason Von wanted to be transferred was due to the jailâs rules.
âYALL KNO MY BOA TROLLING TO GET PUT ON ANOTHER DECK STOP DAT BAPPIN,â he wrote on his Instagram Stories.
OTF affiliate THF Zoo posted a separate clip on Instagram showing an officer saying that Von didnât want anything but to be moved across the hall.
