Lil Reese recalls stealing bikes with Fredo Santana and King Von when they were kids.

Following his release from prison, Lil Reese unloaded plenty of tales about the Chicago streets during his recent interview with Cam Capone News, where he shared untold stories about Chief Keef, Lil Durk, and King Von. In one clip, the Supa Savage 3 rapper explained how he got Lil Durk to join him in an attempt to rob someone from a dice game. As he planned the robbery, he asked Durk knowing that no one else would’ve helped him. And while they successfully went through with getting Reese’s money back from the dice game, they eventually had to hand it over after a big homie intervened.

However, King Von became a major point in Reese’s recent interview. At one point, he detailed how he, along with Von and the late Fredo Santana, once stole a bike. The interviewer recalled a story he heard about DJ Univercity claiming that Reese once stole his bicycle. Though the Chicago rapper denied knowing the DJ, he explained that it’s likely true because he and his friends got into many mischievous acts when they grew up in the South Side Of Chicago.

DJ Univercity Responds To Lil Reese & King Von

Reese said that much of his time in the street began with a petty crime like stealing bikes. “I used to take n***as bikes back then… All them n***as from 63rd, we used to go down on they block and beat them up and take they bikes, real shit. Catch them on the bus and up guns on them and shit. We used to torture them boys,” he explained. “Fredo was out there with us. Von was out there. T-Roy was out there. A lot of n***as was out there that’s still around. Basically.”

Though he doesn’t seem too remorseful about the scenario, DJ Univercity reacted to the confirmation that Reese and Von jacked him for his bike. “My grandma gave me that bike @reesemoney300 [red angry face emoji],” he posted on his Instagram page. Reese has yet to respond to Univercity’s post but he clearly looks back at those moments fondly.
