 ATLANTA, GA - Twitter has exploded with "RIP King Von" posts following reports the Chicago native was shot during an altercation in Atlanta, Georgia. On Friday (November 6), the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported gunfire erupted outside of the Monaco Hookah Lounge during a fight between two large groups of people.Two people were killed, one person, thought to be King Von, was rushed to the local hospital in critical condition and two others were injured but in stable condition.Shortly after the news broke, King Von's close friend and producer Chopsquad DJ confirmed the 26-year-old rapper succumbed to his injuries in an Instagram post."My heart can't take this," he captioned a photo of himself with Von. "No bro. Why you. Why bro. Just please 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. The only n-gga to listen to me word for word from day 1."We sat on FaceTime for hours making songs together. Every bar had a meaning and 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."
The incident reportedly took place around 3 a.m. local time. Two off-duty police officers, who were working security at the club, did shoot back but were not injured.
"That physical altercation escalated into an exchange of gunfire with those groups," Atlanta police Deputy Chief Timothy Peek said. "Two police officers who were working at that particular club, or lounge, noticed the altercation and engaged some of the people involved. There was an exchange of gunfire with police as well."
King Von was just beginning to gain national notoriety. Signed to Lil Durk's record label Only The Family, he released his latest album Welcome To O'Block on October 30. HipHopDX sends our condolences to all those who loved him. Send Blog · Share on Facebook · Bookmark on Delicious Kanye West's celebratory tweets about leading the polls in Kentucky were premature. On Tuesday (October 13), a noticeably thrilled Ye took to Twitter to share what turned out to be invalid early election results."GET THE WEST WING READY!!!" he tweeted alongside a video of himself pointing to the results. "This is how I felt when I saw the Kentucky pole result." Ye - who managed to get on the ballot in Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah and Vermont - should've done his due diligence. According to LEX18, who originally reported the numbers, it was simply a test.The Lexington-based news station cleared up the confusion with a tweet shortly after Kanye's victory lap, writing, "Someone discovered a cached web link that we used during June's primary election to post Associated Press election results. The old link was still populating current AP data and showed test results, which is part of the preparation the AP does in advance of elections."The results shown were not valid. They were simply part of a test. We regret the discovery of the cached web link and have removed the data from that page. We apologize for any confusion. Send Blog · Share on Facebook · Bookmark on Delicious Tory Lanez appeared before an L.A. County judge via telephone on Tuesday (October 13) for his first hearing regarding the Megan The Stallion shooting incident.The Canadian rapper was charged with felony assault last week and was supposed to have his initial arraignment Tuesday morning. But Lanez's attorney Shawn Holley asked for a continuance and it was granted. Therefore, Lanez didn't enter a guilty or not guilty plea. Megan did score a small victory as a result of the hearing though. TMZ reports the judge issued a protective order against Lanez, which means he's now required to stay at least 100 yards away from Megan and have zero contact with her.Lanez bail was reportedly set at $190,000, which he'll be posting with a bondsman at the hearing. The protective order arrives on the same day Megan published an op-ed with the New York Times titled "Megan Thee Stallion: Why I Speak Up For Black Women." While she doesn't get too specific about what happened on July 12, the night the shooting occurred, she did explain why she was initially hesitant to identify Lanez as the triggerman."My initial silence about what happened was out of fear for myself and my friends," she wrote. "Even as a victim, I have been met with skepticism and judgment. The way people have publicly questioned and debated whether I played a role in my own violent assault proves that my fears about discussing what happened were, unfortunately, warranted." As Lanez mentioned numerous times on his 17-track DAYSTAR album, he "ain't do it." On Friday (October 9), Lanez promised the truth will prevail, once again asserting his innocence."[Time] will [tell]... and the truth will come to the light," he wrote on Twitter. "I have all faith in God to show that ... love to all my fans and people that have stayed true to me & know my heart ... a charge is not a conviction. If you have supported me or meg thru this, I genuinely appreciate u." Check out the post below. Send Blog · Share on Facebook · Bookmark on DeliciousATLANTA, GA - Lil Baby returned to Booker T.
