Chicago’s streets have been shaken by the emergence of two rappers whose alleged crimes have eclipsed their music, with one now claiming a combined body count exceeding twenty murders alongside his deceased partner. The brazen daylight assassination of a prominent drill figure has cast a harsh new light on the city’s most dangerous rivalries, pulling back the curtain on a world where artistic ambition and street violence are fatally intertwined.
The October 2025 murder of THF Beazu, a close associate of superstar Lil Durk, was a shock to the system. Caught on camera in the Little Village neighborhood, the calculated hit on such an infamous figure signaled a dangerous escalation. In the chaotic aftermath, a name already whispered in street lore began trending with a terrifying new intensity: Kill Bill.
This rapper, born Lenel Moore, is alleged to be far more than an artist. Hailing from the volatile West Side neighborhood of Humboldt Park, Kill Bill represents the BTBG (Baby T Blood Gang) set, a faction born from tragedy and relentless retaliation. His story, and that of his late friend DMG Lil Deuce, paints a grim picture of cyclical violence that has spilled across the entire city.
Lil Deuce, known chillingly online as “the one-legged assassin,” was a central figure from the 7200 or DMG faction on the South Side. His partnership with Kill Bill, allying DMoubleG (Dirty Money Gizzy Gang), united two of Chicago’s most dangerous areas. Their bond, solidified by shared loss and a declared war on their collective “ops,” allegedly translated into a staggering wave of violence.
The timeline of murders potentially linked to the duo is extensive and complex, tracing back years and spanning numerous gang conflicts. For Kill Bill, a series of devastating losses in 2020, including the deaths of close friends JJ, 23, and Ghost, is cited as a turning point. “That changed me,” he stated in an interview, visibly emotional. Shortly after, a string of unsolved homicides of rival gang members began.
Among the victims often connected by online detectives and lyrical disses are alleged Ghost Mob member “Sumo” in September 2020, BBMG affiliate “Lil Marley” in November 2020, and multiple members of the Fro Gang set, including “Gucci Two Times” and “Budaboo.” Kill Bill’s young protégé, KJ, openly boasted about these killings in their song “Curry Nem,” claiming Budaboo “got put right to bed.”
Lil Deuce’s alleged trail is equally long. Rumors link him to murders dating to 2017, including Eugene Winters and Devon “D” Davis, brother of rapper BG Lil Pat. The 2022 killing of Brian Ballard, a man not deeply involved in gang life, was later heavily implied by Deuce himself during a social media live stream. “They know big… who up?” he rapped tauntingly to rivals.
Their war expanded dramatically in 2024, spiraling out from a petty dispute over stolen watches. Lil Za Osama, a friend of both rappers, accused members of the THF set of stealing from him. This ignited a bloody feud, drawing in Kill Bill and Deuce’s alliance against THF. The conflict turned deadly with the February 2024 murder of respected THF rapper TP, shot in front of his daughter.
Retaliation was swift. In March 2024, BVC Man, an affiliate of Za Osama and Deuce, was killed in a drive-by shooting, an act THF members openly celebrated. The war continued to simmer until September 12, 2025, when Lil Deuce was ambushed and killed on the South Side. In a grim tribute, Kill Bill took to social media, claiming the two had a “combined body count of 20 plus.”
The violence reached its peak with the October 2025 assassination of THF Beazu. The broad daylight hit, captured on security footage, sent shockwaves through the drill scene. While no arrests have been made, rampant online speculation immediately pointed fingers. Suspects ranged from the BVC set, seeking revenge for Man, to the Kill Bill and Za Osama alliance, avenging Deuce.
Kill Bill himself fueled rumors days later, releasing the song “Devil Music 2,” where he claimed 11 bodies. When asked about Beazu in an interview, he offered a restrained “rest in peace” before breaking into a sinister grin, a moment that convinced many viewers of his involvement. This notoriety has since boosted his profile, with some on social media dubbing him “the new Lil Jeff.”
The aftermath has been a relentless cycle of claimed retaliation. Following Beazu’s death, THF members vowed “20 for one,” a phrase Beazu himself coined. Since then, several individuals affiliated with rival sets like 051 Young Money and 757 have been killed, with THF members openly trolling and seemingly claiming responsibility on social media.
Despite the swirling accusations and self-incriminating lyrics, both the Beazu and Lil Deuce murders remain officially unsolved. However, the sheer volume of claims, diss tracks, and social media bravado has constructed a public narrative of unprecedented violence. This case underscores the dark reality where drill music narratives and street actions dangerously converge.
Authorities now face the immense challenge of piecing together facts from a tangled web of rumor, rap lyrics, and online boasting. The federal interest in Beazu’s case, as reported by some commentators, suggests the investigation has reached the highest levels, potentially complicated by the victim’s connections to other major figures under federal indictment.
For Kill Bill, the notoriety presents a paradox. The hype around his alleged actions has brought attention, but his future, like so many before him, hangs in a perilous balance between rap success and street fate. The era of consequence-free bravado appears to be closing, as federal scrutiny intensifies and the streets continue to demand a deadly price for fame. The city waits to see if the legend will outlive the man, or if another name will soon be added to the grim tally he helped create.
