A video he posted of himself walking out of court featuring the theme song of the hit crime show Law & Order: Special Victims Unit left viewers ready to come for King’s neck.

“To know me is to know I put music over everything, every video, every post. If it fits the moment, ill find a song that fits; that’s just what I do. I don’t need to poke fun at anyone’s pain or trauma or make a joke,” King said, responding to comments.

“I was subpoenaed to go to court, and I know this is a very serious situation, but this was my day in court. That’s how I felt. I didn’t say names, I didn’t give any references, I didn’t do nothing of the sort,” King continued.

“You treated court like a fashion show; I treated a public thing that was going to be seen by the public so I would never look crazy. I liked my outfit, I liked how I looked, and obviously, the people in court liked how I looked. I don’t need to poke fun or be insensitive to the situation. That’s yall being insensitive,” King added.

King posted two consecutive stories telling users to get out of his comments harassing his supporters.

“If you think that you’re about to be in my comments talking reckless to other people, celebs, being negative, bullying people, trying to be a savior to a cause you’re not even a part of, nobody knows you. I don’t know you,” he said.

“I don’t care what you do in your life but, I will have a full block party on this flight to Dubai, That’s what the f**k will happen today. Ya’ll weird as f**k,” he added.

Tory Lanez’s attorney, George Mgdesyan, questioned King, who reportedly shared details of what happened at Kylie Jenner’s house the night of the shooting.

According to The Shade Room, King told lawyers that he did not like being the “last Black people in somebody’s house” and that things between Meg and him started to unravel after a few drinks.

King and Meg reportedly have been out of communication since 2021.
