Footage from inside the facility just surfaced — and fans are LOSING IT over how Von stayed unshaken, unbothered, and in full control even when everything around him was pure chaos.

The internet can’t believe these clips were ever recorded — let alone leaked.
Full breakdown below 👇📹🔥
Dayvon Daquan Bennett, better known as King Von, wasn’t just a storyteller—he was the storm in the eye of Chicago’s drill hurricane. Born in 1994 on the South Side’s O’Block, Von rose from the streets to Spotify playlists, dropping vivid tales of violence and survival on tracks like “Crazy Story” and “Took Her to the O.” His bars painted pictures so real they blurred fiction and fact, earning him a spot in Lil Durk’s OTF collective and a posthumous empire after his tragic death in a 2020 Atlanta shootout at age 26. But before the fame, Von spent over three years in Cook County Jail from 2014 to 2017, charged with murder and attempted murder in a case he beat. Those years weren’t quiet; they were a pressure cooker of chaos, captured on grainy security cams and bodycams that have leaked like secrets in a confessional.
In the digital age, Von’s jail footage has become folklore—viral clips that humanize a monster, or monster-ize a human, depending on who’s watching. From brutal beatdowns to sly manipulations, these moments reveal the unfiltered Von: fearless, manipulative, and utterly dominant. As his estate pushes posthumous projects like 2023’s Grandson, Vol. 1, these videos keep resurfacing, fueling debates on X and Reddit about whether they glorify or expose the drill life’s toll. Critics, like those in a 2023 Rolling Stone piece, question the ethics of these leaks, calling them a “dehumanizing spectacle” rooted in America’s voyeuristic gaze on Black pain. Yet, fans devour them, with hashtags like #LLKV and #VonInJail racking up millions of views. Here’s a deep dive into the craziest ones caught on camera, pieced from leaks, interviews, and eyewitness accounts.
The Protective Custody Ploy: “I’m Gay, They Got a Problem with That”
One of the most talked-about clips dropped in July 2023: bodycam footage from November 2017, just before Von’s acquittal. Von, looking every bit the street-savvy hustler in an orange jumpsuit, sits in an interrogation room, cool as ice. An officer asks why he wants protective custody. “Because of your sexual orientation?” the cop probes. Von nods: “Yes.” He spins a yarn about inmates—possibly rivals—harassing him over being gay, even joking, “They could be Christian, they got a problem with gay people. Bye, Lil Josh,” before blowing a kiss at the camera. “I’ma fuck you too. They tried to let me suck they dick.”
The room erupts in awkward laughter, but Von’s dead serious about the transfer. It was a calculated flex—using jailhouse homophobia as leverage to dodge general population beefs. Defenders like DJ Akademiks and Tay Savage called it survival smarts, not a confession. “Von was playing chess in there,” Akademiks said in a No Jumper clip, defending the late rapper against sexuality smears. The video, viewed over 5 million times on YouTube, sparked a firestorm: some hailed his ingenuity, others accused exploitation of queer struggles. Either way, it worked—Von got moved, buying time in a system stacked against him.
A similar 2015 clip shows Von rejecting protective custody outright after a concerned caller (rumored family) tips off the jail. “Nah, I’m good,” he tells the officer, smirking. “I ain’t scared of nobody.” It’s pure bravado, the kind that made him a legend but also a target.
Phone Hog Domination: “You Mad? Do Somethin’ About It”
Jail phones are sacred ground—15 minutes of freedom in a cage. A 2025-resurfaced clip captures Von turning it into a power play. Grainy CCTV shows him mid-call, deep in conversation, oblivious to the fuming inmate behind him. The guy paces, face twisted in rage, muttering threats. Von hangs up slow, turns, and locks eyes: “What? You want the phone?” The inmate stammers, but backs down, slinking away as Von chuckles. No fists, just aura. “He mad as hell but couldn’t do nun,” one X post captioned it, racking up 20,000 likes.
This wasn’t isolated. Another video from Cook County Division 9 shows Von pressing a corrections officer (CO) over phone access, voice booming: “Man, you trippin’—I been waitin’ all day!” The CO relents, and Von dials up, unfazed. These moments paint Von as the alpha—commanding respect without a swing. As one Reddit user in r/Chiraqology noted, “In county, it’s all about that energy. Von had it on lock.”
The Mace-Fueled Melee: Fists, Gas, and No Regrets
Fights? Von collected them like plaques. A notorious 2016 clip, leaked in 2023, shows him and an OTF associate squaring up against a rival inmate—allegedly from 051 Melly—in a holding cell. It starts verbal: trash-talk escalates to shoves, then haymakers. Von lands clean shots, but guards rush in, blasting mace that fogs the camera. All three hit the floor coughing, Von yelling, “I ain’t get no medical attention after this shit!” The brawl, broken up in seconds, went viral with headlines like “Von Beats Opp in Lockup.” HipHopDX reported it as “vicious,” noting Von’s post-fight complaints.
Then there’s the “slap boxing” saga from May 2024: Von bullying a “slow” inmate who fights back, turning playful jabs into a serious scrap. Reddit threads exploded—”Who knew it took bullying footage to turn folks against a mass murderer?” one user quipped. Another leak from March 2024 shows Von straight-up beating 051 Freeky, fists flying in a dorm-style brawl. Compilations like “9 Times King Von Jumped Inmates” on YouTube tally at least a half-dozen such incidents, each more chaotic.
A wilder one: Von allegedly starting a fire in his cell, caught on cam as flames lick the bars while he bangs on the door, yelling for release. “Burning sensation to get out,” the uploader joked. Was it protest or prank? Either way, it screams desperation wrapped in defiance.
Flirt Game Strong: Even Guards Weren’t Safe
Not all drama was violent. A lighter, yet eyebrow-raising clip from 2025 shows Von charming a female CO: “You fine as hell—when you get off? I need that number.” She laughs it off, but he doubles down with that signature grin. Akademiks reacted onstream, cracking up: “Von was smooth even in stripes.” It’s a reminder: Von was 20-something, hormones raging, turning lockdown into a pickup spot.
The Leaks’ Dark Side: Entertainment or Exploitation?
These videos didn’t surface by accident. Since Von’s death, FOIA requests and anonymous drops have flooded the net—bodycams from his fatal shooting, jail fights, even “zesty” moments with cellmate Lil Jay that had Tay Savage weighing in. Rolling Stone traced it to a mix of public records and illicit shares, questioning: “Who keeps releasing this?” Beryl Lipton from the Electronic Frontier Foundation notes exemptions don’t apply to the deceased, but the ethics sting. “It’s anti-intellectual—treating Black lives like spectacle,” one expert told the mag.
Fans push back. On X, clips like Von kicking a downed inmate rack up reposts with captions like “Menace in prison.” FBG Duck’s mom even claimed in an October 2025 interview: “Streets were safer when Von was locked up,” stirring O’Block vs. Tookaville beef anew. Yet, Von’s legacy endures—his jail tales inspired bars on Welcome to O’Block, turning pain into platinum.
In a genre born from cages, Von’s footage is a double-edged blade: proof of his grit, or a grim reminder of what the streets steal. As one X user put it, “Legends live on forever,” sharing a fresh clip of Von mid-chaos. Three years in the pen forged the Von we mourn—a king who ruled hell’s waiting room with fists, wit, and unyielding fire. LLKV.
