Tekashi 6ix9ine Pranked With Fake King Von Coffin
Tekashi 6ix9ine allegedly received an eerie gift in the mail connected to King Von. TMZ reports that the Bushwick, New York native was sent an artificial casket graffitied with tags declaring, “RIP O Block” and “RIP King Von,” with a large white cross embellishing the top of the coffin-like structure.
Tekashi told authorities that he was sent the package on Thursday night (Feb. 13) while he was working on and making music in his Miami mansion. Along with the dubious Black box, 6ix9ine claims that he was gifted “a bouquet of flowers and a pet box.”
Law enforcement stated that two men driving a Tesla approached and were given permission to enter the rapper’s premises, where they met Tekashi’s brother on the side of 69’s home. After being questioned about their intentions, the unnamed men stated that they were tasked with delivering a package to the “GOOBA” artist, allegedly including artwork and other suspicious items.
Tekashi’s camp then called the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office, which dispatched Bomb Squad officers to investigate the strange parcel. While the authorities didn’t uncover a bomb, they reportedly discovered some hand sanitizer in the package. Tekashi 6ix9ine claimed he wasn’t too bothered by the gift and spoke to the outlet, saying, “I’m pretty sad. I wanted to keep the King Von coffin and put it in my room, but the police had to confiscate it. I wanted to sleep in the coffin to feel what it was like to be King Von for a day.”
Tekashi’s statement isn’t too shocking, considering he had beef with King Von and, by proxy, Lil Durk when the rapper was alive.
King Von was shot and killed in November 2020 outside of Atlanta’s Monaco Hookah Lounge. Timothy Leeks, also known as rapper Lul Timm, was arrested in connection with the murder, but the charges were dropped in 2023 following Georgia’s “stand-your-ground” law.
