According to multiple reports, Tekashi 6ix9ine, the controversial rapper who became a target of scorn after he ratted out his friends in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, disrespected King Von after it was revealed the 26-year-old was shot and killed outside of an Atlanta hookah lounge.
As most know, 6ix9ine and Lil’ Durk have been fighting for a few months, and his comments on Von may have been a shot at Lil’ Durk, because Durk and King Von were intimately connected. In fact, Lil’ Durk signed him to his team.
Reportedly, DJ Akademiks came out to say this week that Lil Durk probably learned about his friend’s death while doing a Livestream on his IG account. In the comment section, 6ix9ine supposedly posted a crying-laughing emoji.
As most know, Tekashi 6ix9ine came to prominence in a big way in the hip-hop scene for his trolling, so this doesn’t come as a surprise to his fans and his detractors.
