A King Von fan is getting roasted online for commemorating the late Chicago rapper with a bizarre shin tattoo.
A viral video taken by a group of displeased Von supporters shows a young woman with a fresh inking of Von’s face on the front of her shin, only many fans were quick to clown the quality of the new tat.
“The custy got von tatted on her,” the video’s caption read. “Did von dirty with that tattoo.”
The video was ultimately re-shared by Akademiks, and the comment section was filled with a plethora of criticism.
“Get a refund ASAP,” wrote one fan, while another added, “the tattoo artist sneezed while doing this tattoo.”

King Von’s estate recently celebrated what would have been the rapper’s 28th birthday on August 9. The estate dropped off a new music video for Von’s single “Get It Done,” which appeared on the rapper’s posthumous record What It Means To Be King back in March.
The track’s visual accompaniment finds Von alive and well rapping alongside OMB Peezy, with many fans marveling at the fact the OTF signee was able to film any of these music videos before his untimely death.
“This man’s work rate was unmatched, god knows what he would’ve achieved if his physical form was still with us,” one fan wrote in the YouTube comments.
King Von’s What It Means To Be King served as the sophomore follow-up to 2020’s gold-certified Welcome to O’Block, and arrived after Von’s estate and label Only the Family/Empire released two singles from the project: “War” and “Don’t Play That” featuring 21 Savage. The latter ended up becoming Von’s highest-charting song to date, debuting at No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100.
King Von (real name Dayvon Bennett) was shot on November 6, 2020 during an altercation with Quando Rondo’s crew. Another Chicago man, 34-year-old Mark Blakely, also died that day. Timothy Leeks (AKA Lul Tim), who was also shot during the incident, was arrested for Von’s murder.
Quando Rondo was also recently the target of a shooting that took place in Los Angeles on August 19. Three suspects shot up Rondo’s black Cadillac Escalade around 5:30 p.m. local time, and while the “ABG” rapper was unharmed, his close friend Lul Pab was shot and killed. Quando Rondo confirmed Pab’s death in a post on Instagram, in which he merely wrote: “My cuz,” followed by a crying emoji.
