The late rapper King Von’s friend J Hood recently appeared on No Jumper where he recounted Lil Durk refusing to give Von $50 for a new set of clothes for his friend.
When Von asked Durk for the money that he explicitly stated that he’d pay back, Durk dismissed the idea entirely citing the fact that he didn’t know J Hood.
“I ain’t got no tight money, n***a, my money tight. You feel me? So Durk walk in, the man got a rack. I’m talking about crazy money. And Von like, ‘Aye bro, let me get fifty dollars. I’m ’bout to go take Hood to the mall to get folk some new clothes and whatnot.”
Hood recalled
“That n***a whispered- on my life. Real truth. And so, he straight whispered to him, ‘I don’t know that n***a.’ Fifty dollars! That Von said he was gon’ give him back.
Not that he was just- n***a, he had a rack, do you hear what I’m saying? He rich, millionaire. Millionaire!”
Whether you agree with The Voice’s reasoning or not, this was apparently when Von himself was just starting up as an artist.
As such, it’s understandable that he would be asking for favors in these cases while displaying the character necessary to keep his word.
In addition, it’s even commendable that the “Don’t Play That” rapper would want to treat his friend to some fresh drip. Not everyone has that sense when they feel fame approaching.
Regardless, he went on to develop an illustrious and beloved career that saw a tragic end. In the years since, many dedicated their tales to how he was before the fame and gave more illuminating portraits of his perspective and life.
Considering that situation, Durk was surely proud of him for reaching the point to where, if he wanted to buy a friend some clothes, he had the resources to do so on his own.
