King Von, also known as Dayvon Daquan Bennett, was a rapper from Chicago who came up in the original drill scene with others like Chief Keef and Lil Durk. Although he didn't have early, mainstream success like Keef, Von became a legend in the notorious O Block's history.
Many YouTubers and rap contemporaries have called King Von a demon and alleged that he was a real serial killer. Like earlier this year, a meme format about how King Von was moving in 2012 went viral, showing a compilation of interviewees speaking about Von like the anti-Christ.
King Von passed away at age 26 in November 2020. He's left behind a controversial legacy. In memes, the infamy of King Von is often subverted through irony, evident in the "stare" image macros that use unserious captions to oppose King Von's evilness.
The image itself, of King Von staring into the camera, is from his posthumous music video "Demon." The moment of him staring is at the video's 1:58-minute mark. It was also used as the video's YouTube thumbnail.
The image was first used in memes in 2024, following viral TikTok slideshows shared in September. One of the first was posted by TikToker @beruoa who joked about rejecting a 2 man proposal from an unhinged homie.
One of the top comments on the video called it the "King Von anti-piracy screen," riffing on the visuals of "anti-piracy" warnings seen before video games, movies and TV, like the famous "You Wouldn't Steal a Movie" PSA from the early 2000s.

Von is very weird. People tell her she is pretty but she doesn’t believe them. Von isn’t happy with her self so instead of trying to fix it to be a “perfect girl” that you ring on instagram she never goes out and only goes to school and back. Von is very delusional about one boy and she can’t keep her eyes off of him. People often tell her to stop but in her mind she knows it’s not that easy. Von is very competitive and she HATES losing. She often plays sports to keep her mind off everything around her. Von has a really bad attitude when you first get to know her because her guard stays up so if she’s ever hurt you LET HER KNOW. If you get a Von you should love them and never let them go.

Von w is one of the people who forgets everything ! He will forget every 2 seconds. He is a very funny person but he's laugh is sometimes funnier than the joke ! He's someone with a kind heart filled with Jesus and love. He doesn't like staffies or people who don't eat sushi. Von w is someone who will keep the conversation alive and he does the most stupidest things !! Over all he is just someone who is fun to be around.
