Shakema Springfield Speaks On King Von’s Memorial & OTF Vonni’s Testimony
On Thursday, September 3, the mother of King Von’s son, Shakema Springfield, took the stand during Lil Durk’s trial and shared her account of the events surrounding Von’s death and memorial. According to Los Angeles Magazine journalist Taylor Parise, Springfield also pushed back on testimony from Kavon Grant, also known as “OTF Vonnie,” calling him a “liar.”
Springfield testified that King Von and Vonni were very close and spent time together daily. She also said Vonni had control over some of Von’s finances.
Springfield also spoke about being at King Von’s memorial with family for three days. According to her testimony, Lil Durk was never there, and she said she did not hear any conversations about getting revenge for Von’s death.
That testimony reportedly conflicts with what Vonni previously told the court. He testified that Durk was present at the memorial and that the two discussed a revenge plot, Taylor Parise reports.
Springfield also recalled asking Vonnie who killed King Von. She testified that Vonnie responded, “He told me not to worry about it, and he’s going to take care of it.”
Springfield served in the U.S. Army for 10 years and shares a 6-year-old son with the late rapper King Von.
