His team mentioned new music, videos, and interviews that would trickle out and continue to bring eyes to the rapper&#8217;s career. Over the weekend, XXL released an interview that was conducted two weeks prior to Von&#8217;s murder, in which the rapper revealed he was living just outside of Atlanta.

The rapper was often <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/ti-reacts-to-king-vons-atlanta-shooting-stop-coming-here-to-kill-each-other-news.121000.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">spotted in and around Atlanta in his final days</a>, with many wondering why he was moving around out there instead of his beloved O&#8217;Block in Chicago. He answered why in his posthumously-released interview with XXL.
Telling the interviewer that he was at his house &#8220;50 minutes out of Atlanta&#8221;, Von explained that he liked how quiet it was. When asked why he was out there, he said, &#8220;Because this was where Durk was at. Durk picked it. It’s the only place I had to go other than Chicago, so I came out here with him.&#8221; He didn&#8217;t necessarily miss Chicago though, saying, &#8220;Nah, I see Chicago often. I go out there, so nah, I don’t miss it. It’s right there.&#8221;
