A firestorm has erupted in the hip-hop world following revelations of a collaboration between Chief Keef and Timothy “Lul Tim” Leaks, the man once charged with the murder of King Von. The situation has ignited fury from Von’s O Block and 4️⃣🐐 (Four Chops) affiliates, threatening to unravel years of complex and fraught history within the Chicago drill scene.
The controversy centers on an unreleased track. In a video that surfaced in early April 2026, Lul Tim claimed to possess a song featuring Chief Keef, stating, “I got a song with Chief Keef… I can’t play that though.” This claim followed the earlier release of “Rooms,” a Mike Will Made-It-produced track uniting Keef with NBA YoungBoy, the founder of the 4KT collective to which Lul Tim is affiliated.
For O Block and 4️⃣🐐 loyalists, this sequence is an unforgivable betrayal. Lul Tim was the central figure in the shooting that killed King Von, born Dayvon Bennett, outside an Atlanta hookah lounge on November 6, 2020. Although the felony murder charge against him was dismissed in August 2023 prior to indictment, his status in the eyes of Von’s camp remains that of the alleged killer.
The backlash against Keef is rooted in shared lineage. Both Keef and Von’s O Block operate under the broader Black Disciples umbrella on Chicago’s South Side. This perceived fraternity made Keef’s studio link with NBA YoungBoy—and by alleged extension, Lul Tim—a profound violation of street loyalty. Online fury from O Block-aligned voices was immediate and intense following “Rooms.”
Keef, however, has forcefully rejected any obligation to this street politics. In public statements in late February and March 2026, the rapper, long based in Los Angeles, made clear he collaborates with whomever he chooses. “I don’t answer to nobody,” he asserted, distancing himself from the demands of Chicago’s entrenched conflicts.
The situation escalated when Lul Tim himself entered the fray in mid-February. In videos that spread across social media, he taunted O Block and 4️⃣🐐, telling them to “stop acting salty” and to “go get a bag.” His direct address transformed the controversy from a debate over a feature into a direct confrontation with Von’s camp.
This conflict is layered over a decade of documented tension between Keef’s circle and O Block. Police records from 2014 detail an investigation into a robbery and shooting at Keef’s suburban mansion, with reports indicating affiliates tied to O Block were persons of interest. No convictions resulted, but the incident created a lasting rift.
Furthermore, the narrative of a feud between Keef and Lil Durk, the head of 4️⃣🐐, has been publicly squashed by Durk himself. In a 2015 interview and later statements, Durk described resolving past issues with Keef over a long FaceTime call, emphasizing their shared roots and declaring the beef “dead.”
Intriguingly, some voices from within O Block’s orbit have defended Keef’s position. In February 2026 interviews, affiliates like Big Mike cited the 2014 robbery, arguing Keef “does not owe O Block a single thing” after members had “run up in his house” and “ran through his crib.”
The legal landscape surrounding all parties adds severe gravity. Five individuals with ties to 4️⃣🐐 face federal murder-for-hire charges in Los Angeles for an alleged 2022 plot to retaliate against rapper Quando Rondo, who was with Lul Tim the night Von was killed. Lil Durk is himself in federal custody on separate charges.
Meanwhile, Lul Tim’s legal path has been complex. After his release on a $100,000 bond in 2021, the murder charge was dismissed in 2023. His attorney, Noah Pines, confirmed the DA’s office declined to pursue the case. Lul Tim has pending charges from a 2022 police chase but remains free.
Analysts who reviewed the 2020 Atlanta shooting footage have suggested a self-defense argument was always legally plausible under Georgia law, which may explain the dismissal. This legal outcome, however, holds no weight on the street, where perceptions of guilt and loyalty are absolute.
The unreleased song, tentatively referenced as “Who I Am,” now sits as a potent symbol. With no audio leaked and no confirmation from Keef’s camp, its mere existence, as claimed by Lul Tim, has become a flashpoint. It represents, for O Block, the ultimate disrespect: their foundational artist allegedly on a track with the man they hold responsible for their star’s death.
As of April 2026, the conflict remains a war of words and viral clips. Keef’s album “Skeletor” has been released without industry repercussion. His manager has publicly denied false rumors of the rapper being harmed, stating Keef has not been in Chicago for years. The response from Von’s camp, constrained by federal indictments and incarcerations, has been limited to online outrage.
The fallout from “Rooms” and Lul Tim’s claims has exposed fundamental fissures. It reveals a reality where shared gang affiliation does not guarantee unity, where legal outcomes conflict with street verdicts, and where an artist’s pursuit of commercial collaboration can violently collide with unyielding codes of loyalty and revenge. The saga underscores how a single track can detonate a decade of buried grievances, leaving a permanent scar on the legacy of Chicago drill.
