The latest testimony in Lil Durks trial brought someone close to King Vons family to the stand. Shakema Springfield, the mother of Vons son, testified in court and pushed back on claims previously made by OTF Vonnie. Springfield calls Vonnie a “liar” as she shared what she remembers from the days surrounding King Von’s death.
On Thursday, September 3, the mother of King Vons son, Shakema Springfield, took the stand during Lil Durks trial and shared her account of the events surrounding Vons death and memorial. According to Los AngelesMagazine 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 Vons finances.
Springfield also spoke about being at King Vons 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 Vons 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 hes 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.
Following Springfields testimony, social media users shared mixed reactions to her statements and their potential impact on Durks case.

Meanwhile, Asian Doll, King Vons ex-girlfriend, has also been vocal amid the ongoing trial. The rapper recently took to X with a cryptic message, writing, Seeing all this sh** make my head hurt frfr when you know the REAL followed by a 100 emoji.
While Asian didnt provide additional context, social media users quickly connected the post to the latest developments in Lil Durks trial.
Following Asians post, as well as the recent testimony from OTF Vonnie and Shakema Springfield, things got a little heated between Asian and Kayla B, King Vons sister. The two women went back and forth during a TikTok Live, with both addressing allegations and statements surrounding her late brother.
The exchange comes years after Asian and Kayla have publicly clashed over Asians past relationship with King Von.
