Taking to Twitter on Friday (November 27), the “Martin & Gina” rapper reflected on Von’s star power and the fact he won’t be able to achieve the success he was meant for.
“Man I hate that shit happened to Von He Was on his Way To bein a Real [star],” he wrote.

In an Instagram post just hours after Von’s death was confirmed on November 6, Polo referred to the burgeoning rapper as a legend and dubbed him the King of Drill.
“Was a real one & a good hearted nigga fasho,” he wrote with a black heart emoji. “RIP #chicagolegend #kingofdrill.”
The pair collaborated on “The Code” off Von’s new album Welcome To O’Block, and released the visual just one week before Von was shot and killed in Atlanta. In a bittersweet moment, the album would go on to earn Von his first top 5 album on the Billboard 200 when it landed at No. 5 in its second week after selling roughly 44,000 total album equivalent units.
