26-years old Chicago rapper, King Von is dead, after being gunned down in an Atlanta shooting.
He was reportedly shot after a shooting broke out outside Atlanta’s Monaco Hookah Lounge at 3am on Friday morning between two groups.
Initial reports said that Von was in critical condition after the shooting, but his best friend and producer, DJ On Da Beat, has confirmed his passing on Instagram.
“My heart can’t take this. No bro. Why you. Why bro. Please just 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,” he wrote on Instagram.
“The only n***a to listen to me word for word from day 1. We sat on FaceTime for hours making songs together. Every bar had a meaning snd 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 @kingvonfrmdao.”
