Rap Beef: OTF vs 4KT

OTF vs 4KT is a gang and hip-hop war that sparked after the death of O'Block/OTF rapper King Von who was killed in November 2020 by Timothy "Lul Tim" Leeks, a Rollin' 60s member from the JOG/OTM/1027 faction. The gang war is between multiple Black Disciple sets in Chicago, Illinois, including O'Block, Lamron, Tay Town, 600, and THF 46, all affiliated with OTF. OTF is in a gang war with NBA YoungBoy's crew "4KT/BBG" located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on North 38th St & Chippewa St, and also Quando Rondo & Lul Tim's crew "Jump Out Gang (JOG)/Only The Mob (OTM)/1027", who are Rollin' 60s Neighborhood Crips located in Savannah, Georgia, affiliated with 4KT.

## Before The War (2017-18)

Before the war started, Lil Durk (leader of OTF) and NBA YoungBoy (face of 4KT) were actually cordial and even had a song titled "My Side" released on November 25, 2017. Lil Durk was also cordial with Quando Rondo (4KT affiliate) where Lil Durk & Gunna were featured in Quando Rondo's "Otherside" released on April 17, 2018.

King Von, an O'Block member/OTF artist who was released from jail in December 2017 after 3.5 years, also linked up with Quando Rondo on March 30, 2019, where Quando Rondo was seen dissing 63rd (STL/EBT), who were O'Block's main rivals.

After the party ended at around 2:00 a.m, King Von randomly decided to go to an afterparty club named "Monaco Hookah Lounge". King Von was staying in his bulletproof truck for around 30 minutes until one of Von's friends told him that Quando Rondo was there. Von then immediately got up and then later found Quando Rondo, and started fighting him.

At around 3:23 a.m, while fighting Quando Rondo, a white vehicle pulled up with Lul Tim hopping out and then firing 5-6 shots at King Von, where he was hit in the torso and thigh, with even one of the bullets hitting King Von's manager. Mark "Slutty" Blakely, King Von's friend/O'Block member then shot Lul Tim in the leg and even tried standing over him, but his gun jammed. Seconds later, the police who were guarding that area decided to get involved and then started shooting randomly where Slutty was later shot and killed by the police. After the shooting ended, King Von's team immediately picked Von up and put him in the truck, which later fled to the hospital. Lul Tim's crew also picked him up and put him in the vehicle which also sped off too. The entire shooting was captured on a security camera.

After the shooting, King Von was rushed to the hospital where he was listed in critical condition but was pronounced dead at around 11:00 a.m. The shooting left 6 people shot in total with 2 dying. The next day on November 7, 22-year-old Timothy "Lul Tim" Leeks was charged with the murder.
