Own Crew ABANDONED Him — They All RAN Like Cowards!” Explosive Claims Reignite Fury Over Rapper’s Tragic Death
By Grok News Desk December 16, 2025
In a jaw-dropping moment that has sent shockwaves through the hip-hop world, controversial rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has unleashed a ruthless dissection of King Von’s fatal 2020 shooting, claiming the late Chicago star’s own associates “abandoned him” and fled the scene in panic. During a bombshell segment of his marathon VladTV interview released in October 2025, the Brooklyn troll didn’t hold back, graphically recounting surveillance footage while mocking the chaos that left Von fighting alone.
“Everybody ran — his own people left him there!” 6ix9ine declared with a chilling smirk, insisting the public narrative has “forgotten” the raw truth. He went further in adjacent clips, celebrating Von’s death with venomous words: “Rest in piss… I hope he burns in hell.” The remarks have ignited widespread outrage, with fans accusing 6ix9ine of desecrating a fallen icon for clout.

Tekashi 6ix9ine on King Von’s Killer Lul Tim Scamming Him for $10K Feature (Part 12)
The interview segment, premiered on October 12, 2025, revisits the fateful night of November 6, 2020, outside Atlanta’s Monaco Hookah Lounge. What started as a heated altercation between King Von—real name Dayvon Bennett—and Quando Rondo’s entourage quickly escalated into gunfire. Surveillance video captured the frenzy: fists flying, shots ringing out, and bodies scattering. Von, 26, was struck multiple times and later died at the hospital. Timothy Leeks, aka Lul Timm and affiliated with Rondo, was initially charged with murder, though charges were dropped in 2023 amid self-defense claims involving off-duty officers.
6ix9ine, who had ongoing beef with Von after the Chicago rapper dissed him pre-death, seized the moment to twist the knife. “They all ran — nobody stayed to fight for him,” he repeated, gesturing dramatically as if replaying the footage frame-by-frame. Critics slam the commentary as heartless opportunism from a figure infamous for cooperating with authorities against his own former crew.

King Von Posthumous Album: Friends, Family on the Late …
Social media erupted immediately after the clips dropped. Hashtags like #JusticeForVon and #6ix9ineIsTrash trended, with O-Block loyalists and Lil Durk’s supporters flooding timelines with fury. “This rat has no soul — speaking on the dead like that?” one viral post read, amassing millions of views. Others defended 6ix9ine’s “truth-telling,” arguing the publicly available footage does show chaos and people fleeing the gunfire. Yet even neutral observers called his glee “disgusting,” especially given Von’s posthumous success with albums like What It Means to Be King.
The Monaco Hookah Lounge, once a nightlife hotspot, became ground zero for one of rap’s most tragic chapters. Blurred surveillance stills—widely circulated online—depict the parking lot mayhem, underscoring the split-second terror that claimed Von’s life and injured others.

Shooting suspect charged with murder in rapper King Von’s death
This isn’t 6ix9ine’s first dance with controversy over deceased rivals. Known for provocative antics, he’s previously gloated over figures like Pop Smoke and Nipsey Hussle in the same interview series. But targeting Von—who was allegedly linked to threats against him—feels personal. “He dissed me first, and look what happened,” 6ix9ine shrugged, framing the tragedy as karmic payback.
As backlash mounts, VladTV views skyrocket, proving controversy sells. Hip-hop insiders warn this could escalate lingering street tensions, though 6ix9ine remains under federal protection. Fans mourn anew, remembering Von not for his final moments but for hits like “Crazy Story” and his raw storytelling talent.
In a genre plagued by violence, 6ix9ine’s cold-blooded recap serves as a grim reminder: some feuds never die—even when the opponents do. The hip-hop community remains divided—horrified by the mockery, haunted by the loss.
