Newly Resurfaced Footage of King Von’s Final Moments Ignites Internet Fury – Lil Durk’s Name Dragged Back into 2020 Tragedy
By Entertainment & Crime Desk January 14, 2026
A chilling piece of alleged security footage purporting to capture the final terrifying seconds of Chicago rapper King Von’s life has gone massively viral across social media, reigniting conspiracy theories, heartbreak, and outrage five years after his death. The grainy clip—shared widely on X, TikTok, and YouTube—shows chaotic flashes of a late-night Atlanta parking lot shootout outside the Monaco Hookah Lounge on November 6, 2020, where Von (real name Dayvon Daquan Bennett) was fatally shot during a heated confrontation.

The resurfaced video, timestamped around the fatal incident, depicts muzzle flashes, frantic movement, and a figure collapsing amid screams—details fans claim align with police reports and bodycam leaks from years prior. What has the internet in absolute meltdown is the renewed focus on Lil Durk (Durk Banks), Von’s close collaborator and OTF label boss. Conspiracy threads explode with claims that the footage hints at betrayal, hidden motives, or even direct involvement from Durk’s circle—despite no official evidence linking him to the shooting itself.

Hotel shootout, King Von, staying home: Up to Speed – YouTube
King Von, a rising star signed to Lil Durk’s Only The Family (OTF), was just 26 when he died. The altercation erupted between Von’s group and Quando Rondo’s affiliate Lul Tim (Timothy Leeks), stemming from long-simmering Chicago-Atlanta rap beef. Official investigations concluded that Atlanta police fired the fatal shots in self-defense after the exchange of gunfire, leading to dropped charges against Lul Tim. Yet the new clip—whether authentic or manipulated—has fans dissecting every frame: shadows, angles, and alleged audio snippets that some swear include Von’s dying words pointing fingers elsewhere.

Shooting suspect charged with murder in rapper King Von’s death
Lil Durk’s name keeps surfacing amid the chaos. Old clips of him reacting live to news of Von’s death have recirculated, showing visible shock and grief. Recent viral warnings from figures like Wallo (from “Million Dollaz Worth of Game”) urging Durk against retaliation have resurfaced too, fueling speculation that unresolved tensions or OTF dynamics played a role. Durk has repeatedly honored Von through tributes, songs like “Backdoor,” and public statements, but the online storm accuses him of everything from orchestration to abandonment—claims with zero substantiation from authorities.

The tragedy’s aftermath continues to haunt: bodycam footage from the scene leaked years ago showed police response and detentions, while jail videos of Von himself went viral post-mortem. This latest “final moments” drop—possibly from FOIA requests or underground shares—has amplified calls for deeper probes into what really happened that night. Fans mourn Von’s talent, raw storytelling, and loyalty, while others rage over perceived cover-ups in the rap world’s dangerous feuds.
