Early Life
King Von was born on August 9th, 1994 in Southern Chicago, the place known for its high crime rates. His father was not active in his son’s life and was therefore in and out of it. Sadly, he was killed when Von was just 11. The pain of losing his father and having a lack of fatherly presence was expressed and reflected in most of his songs.
When Von was 16, he did some jail time and since then, he had a long stream of troubles involving the law which includes being involved in various gangs, also being in and out of prison.

It can be more than enough to influence bad behavior. For more information regarding King Von’s legal issues, you can see his Wikipedia.
