In a shocking turn of events that has sent ripples through Chicago’s music scene, two rising drill rappers, Muna Duke and Oblaks Youngan, were brutally gunned down in a late-night shooting in the Edgewater neighborhood on May 10, 2025. The attack, which occurred just as patrons were leaving a nearby restaurant, left the community reeling and heightened speculation of a link to the ongoing gang violence that has plagued the city for years.
Muna Duke, known for his close ties to the late King Von, and Youngan, celebrated for his raw portrayal of life in Oblak, were both seen as pivotal figures in the drill rap movement. Their murders have been chillingly connected to the violent history surrounding King Von’s own death in 2020, with some claiming these 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ings are part of a vendetta against figures from Oblak. Witnesses reported seeing a stolen Infinity Q50 pull away from the scene, later discovered burned, indicating a calculated hit by experienced assailants.
As the news broke, social media exploded with tributes and expressions of grief, particularly from Fat Fat Banks, Muna Duke’s partner, who mourned the loss of her “light” and the father of her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥. The drill community is once again grappling with the stark reality of gun violence, with many questioning if these deaths are a direct consequence of the escalating gang rivalries that have intensified since King Von’s passing.
While speculation mounts about potential connections to NBA Youngboy’s camp, particularly given the history of animosity between him and King Von, law enforcement has yet to establish any verified links. The investigation is ongoing, but with the code of silence prevalent in gang culture, finding justice for Muna Duke and Youngan may prove to be an uphill battle. The cycle of violence continues, leaving families shattered and the community on high alert.
