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 he’s “gay” 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.

“Because of your sexual orientation, you’re requesting protective custody, is that correct?” one officer asks Von, who replies: “Yes.”
“They could be Christian, they got a problem with gay people. Bye, Lil Josh,” he then says while jokingly blowing a kiss to prove his point. “I’ma fuck you too. They tried to let me suck they dick.”
Plenty of King Von’s friends and collaborators came to the late rapper’s 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 jail’s rules.
“YALL KNO MY BOA TROLLING TO GET PUT ON ANOTHER DECK STOP DAT BAPPIN,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories.
OTF affiliate THF Zoo posted a separate clip on Instagram showing an officer saying that Von didn’t want anything but to be moved across the hall.
“Ion see this part of the video on the blogs tho yall try so hard to tarnish bro name knowin he one of the realest,” Zoo wrote. “If u been in that county u kno u can’t move nowhere once u on them decks unless you half dead or requesting PC Von never landed in the pc the whole stay and I witnessed it #GBG.”

King Von was shot and killed outside of an Atlanta hookah lounge on November 6, 2020 during a dispute with Quando Rondo’s crew. Lul Tim has been charged with murdering the Chicago rapper.
Von’s latest posthumous album Grandson arrived last Friday (July 14). The project featured Lil Durk, G Herbo, Polo G and more, and is reportedly slated to sell around 28,000 album units in the first week.
