King Von is currently trending after an old body cam footage during one of his run-in with the law was posted by DJ Akademiks earlier today.

The clip shows bodycam footage from a police officer while Von in in their custody.

In the clip Von tells the officers that he is gay and because of that needs to be put into protective custody. While some in the comments were debating the motivation and sense behind his actions many more expressed shock that the video was even posted.

The predominant sentiment throughout the comments was that Von should be allowed to rest and that the video shouldn’t have been made public.

King Von was shot and killed during an altercation with Quando Rondo and their respective crews outside a nightclub in Atlanta on the morning of November 6, 2020.

King Von’s new album Grandson dropped just last week. The album is his second posthumously released collection of songs. It features contributions from G Herbo, Polo G, Lil Durk, Tee Grizzley, BreezyLYN, Tink, 42 Dugg, Moneybagg Yo, and Hotboii.

The project was preceded by popular singles like “Robberies,” “Heartless,” and “From The Hood.”
