The hip-hop world and beyond is mourning the loss of Chicago rapper BloodHound Q50, who was shot and killed in his home city earlier this morning (Sunday, September 13). This has led folks online to scrutinize alleged social media reactions from YFG Fatso and VonOff1700, who were previously in beef situations with Q50 despite having collaborative history in the past.
For those unaware, authorities still haven't officially confirmed Q50's identity at press time as the victim of the fatal Chicago shooting this morning on the 4200 block of S. Wentworth Avenue. However, alleged police dispatch audio features an officer seemingly confirming he was the victim by spelling out his real name.
A group of assailants reportedly pulled up in two cars alongside the Chicago rapper while he was at a gas station sometime between 4AM and 6AM, later opening fire. The city's police department reportedly opened a homicide investigation after the incident. Alleged security camera footage of the attack surfaced online, as caught by No Jumper on Instagram.
There are no other details about this situation regarding suspects, motive, and other circumstances at press time. As such, the speculative and salacious readings of YFG Fatso and VonOff1700's alleged social media reactions to this are not based in any official facts or accusations. Rather, they are just about fans connecting alleged dots in Chicago's hip-hop and drill scene, and nothing about the messages fans are scrutinizing explicitly connects to this tragedy.
BloodHoung Q50 Shooting
DJ Akademiks TV shared Von's Instagram Story post from earlier today. It was a repost of G Herbo celebrating the Lil Durk verdict, but some fans speculated that Von repurposed Herb's video to refer to the incident.
For those unaware, according to fan interpretations, VonOff1700 had allegedly dissed the NOT A CHANCE IN HELL collaborator in a song snippet he dropped just about a week ago. The two had previously collaborated often, so some fans still doubt this is really a reference to the murder.
On the other hand, YFG Fatso took to his Instagram Story, as caught by No Jumper on IG, to share alleged reactions. He did, however, explicitly post an image of BloodHound Q50 alongside BloodHound Lil Jeff and an image of someone burning a $50 bill. "We spend 50K today !!!!" Fatso wrote, along with "Bet I be da last mf" and a screenshot of a message that said "Good day to b a f***ing reap."
For those unaware, Q50 and Fatso also had a collaborative bond, but after the former spent time with the latter's daughter and her mother, Fatso allegedly reacted online with disdain. Fans' speculative interpretations continue to swirl while folks await more official confirmation. Sadly, it's part of a larger saga of conflict that has tragically taken another life.
