If you’re anyone then you know it’s been hot in them Florida streets between AFNF’s 9lokknine and 438’s Hotboii. Messed up that friends make for the best enemies. 9lokknine and Hotboii went from bro’s to foes. Close affiliate LPB Poody was part of the trio https://youtu.be/Y5x3aJ_gcXM (3:18-3:45) even dropping a song together that never officially released https://youtu.be/x4eDu5lftF4 but now, it’s all heat in the streets between the rappers and their rival gangs, and things hit the fan on October 8th when shots were fired at the Mall at Millenia, Orlando with the intended target being a bullet for 9lokknine. Luckily, he escaped unharmed but the stage is all but set for things to pop off.
9lokknine and Hotboii been on a wave flooding the Florida rap scene. Both doing their thing and being cool, but somewhere along the line the relationship turned sour after Hotboii went to prison and came back home to reclaim his throne as the king of Florida https://youtu.be/dcCh_uYuR6Y (2:44-3:07) https://youtu.be/Y5x3aJ_gcXM (2:54-3:05). These dudes have been at each other’s neck sine their bond severed, going back and forth on the gram and even resulting in lives being lost. 9lokknine is under the watchful eye of law enforcement with his stream of arrests, one being in 2019 which resulted in 17 charges.
Yet, that doesn’t stop the “10 Percent” rapper from enacting the lyrics within his raw rhymes. His gang AFNF The Army, short for All Family No Friends https://youtu.be/uKnoudseqOY (14:50-15:22) has been in a dangerous war with Hotboii’s 438 https://youtu.be/b0typ1NNV44 (0:46-0:51). Both said to be two of the most violent gangs in Orange County and on the top of the FBI’s radar https://youtu.be/wEMMZ9oi7mI (0:52-1:07).
The attempted hit on 9lokknine at the Mall at Millenia was the most recent after a string of shootings and deaths in the rapper’s continued altercations. Authorities say it all ties into a long line of carnage by the gangs, becoming escalated since the drive by shooting of alleged 14-year-old gang member Daquarvious Fudge
The suspect would later be apprehended as 18-year-old Lorenzo Hall who was the shooter hanging out the Nissan Altima https://youtu.be/wEMMZ9oi7mI (0:00-0:38),
along with two others Chauncey Cleckley Jr. and Malachi Thomas.
The violence between to the AFNF and 438 fractions of 9lokknine and Hotboii also claimed the innocent lives of 3-year-old Daquane James Felix Jr. and 14-year-old Dennis Joshua Atkinson within a 24 hour time frame.

Death was in the trail of wherever 9lokknine and Hotboii treaded, and sooner than later it hit deeper to home. Aprill 14th 2020, AFNF affiliate Demetrius Cox
found Hotboii 438 affiliate Wolph Lutherking Luma at a house party in Davenport and shot the 20-year-old, fatally wounding him. Wolph was dropped off at a hospital where he succumbed to his injuries https://youtu.be/KjYCh2an8fc (0:51-0:56).
The hatred runs deep between 9lokknine and Hotboii’s beef. Even after killing Wolph, another 9lokknine affiliate went on to target his opps at the funeral of slain 438 member in what officers say was retaliation for Cox’s arrest. Four victims would be injured but sadly Ocoee Highschool football star Dexter Rentz Jr. wouldn’t make it.
After a deep investigation into his death, the suspect shooter was identified as AFNF affiliate Jeremiah Robinson,
only after he was shot and killed in the attempted murder of Hotboii’s right hand and second in command in the 438 gang, Vanshawn Sands.
On July 7th 2020, Jeremiah Robinson and fellow AFNF homeboy Jermaine Monterriel Ingram Jr. pulled up to Sands spot at Powers Ridge Court. Robinson and Ingram sent shots into the vicinity of Sands but Sands wasn’t having it and returned fire with an assault rifle, striking Robinson in the head and Ingram in the hand. Robinson would be dead 5 days later at the Orlando Regional Medical Center. Vanshawn Sands would be apprehended a month later after a warrant for his arrest was issued and charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, avoiding more serious charges as his retaliation was deemed self-defense. https://youtu.be/bp631FzeIJY (1:14-1:20).
While bodies between the two camps continued to pile in the streets, 9lokknine and Hotboii continued to add fuel to their feud on social media, accusing each other of ratting to the feds and both seemingly hinting towards receipts of the 69 associated traits.
https://youtu.be/ZSBi-VdtVkE (0:00-0:41)
Both rappers responded on live to the allegations, denying any truth in each claim.
https://youtu.be/BIeqr7d2t3Q (0:00-0:20)
https://youtu.be/92J928IzuwU (0:22-0:41)
While the FBI tried to get a handle on the two gangs https://youtu.be/M1vDVGk3ssw (0:25-0:45) their beef showed no signs of slowing down. On October 8th 2020, Hotboii and 438 set out to lay the beef to rest, sending shots to take the life of accused AFNF leader 9lokknine while at the Mall at Millenia in Orlando. The shootout resulted in no deaths nor injuries but incited a number of law enforcement officials to swarm the scene. Beefing in the private streets can get by, but when opps are targeted in public domain, that’s when things reach the point of no return in the eyes of the law. Already having young life killed in the aftermath of their beef, this time it could have ended even worse with the deaths of many innocent bystanders. The mall was painted in red and blue lights, 
as cops swooped in to make the arrests of Hotboii affiliate and labeled shooter, Trey’von Graham and failed assassination target, 9lokknine.
As cops reviewed footage that was captured of the shooting, one other 438 member suspected to be the driver, Joshua Caleb Holder was arrested.
The last suspect, named by officials as Hotboii affiliate and owner of the car used in the drive by, Angel Morales’ was still on the run from law enforcement. Police officers say the three suspects exited the mall and entered into a white BMW with Florida tag IU61KB, circled the parking lot and opened fire once 9lokknine was in sight. The trio then sped off.
Although 9lokknine was the victim, his arrest was even more serious in nature, as it wasn’t actually tied to the shooting attempt on his life, but to a July 7th neighborhood shooting in Bleasdale Avenue Orlando where eyewitnesses placed him at the scene, shooting up a residential home with a mother and children of four https://youtu.be/LgY4JE17AiQ (0:55-1:05). The incident was said to be because of jealousy towards his cousin KuttEm Reese that was also a rapper gaining traction in the Florida scene. https://youtu.be/BIeqr7d2t3Q (2:11-3:00)
The daughter told authorities she saw 2 black sedans in front the house and about 8 men with guns hop out, two of which were Ballpark, a close associate of 9lokknine and 9lokknine himself.
9lokknine was first arrested in July for attempted second-degree murder and weapons charges for said shooting but was released on $35,600 bond.
The shooting at the mall only sparked a deeper pursuit for the AFNF rapper and eventually Officers made the arrest on a warrant for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a stolen short-barreled rifle. The firearm was tied to him via DNA analysis and was found to be involved in the shooting and a slew of other crimes in the area. https://www.xxlmag.com/9lokknine-arrested-weapons-possession/
Talking to WFTV Channel 9 reporter, 9lokknine maintained his innocence and denies all ties to being the leader of AFNF gang https://youtu.be/bp631FzeIJY (2:30-2:54) and stands that there was no beef between the rival fractions https://youtu.be/bp631FzeIJY (3:42-3:50).
The war seems to never end between 9lokknine and Hotboii and their gang ties with AFNF and 438. Life continues to be lost and more certainly will if nothing gives. 9lokknine’s close friend AFNF Jay is only another example to add to the statistic https://youtu.be/ql8AiPbBw_8
and the taunts from Hotboii and his homies over his death will only prolong more death https://youtu.be/Ir4fesbMoqQ (0:00-0:19). These dudes are street to their core. Getting locked up ain’t stopping the beef https://youtu.be/wzCw-gxyUd8 (4:52-5:30) https://youtu.be/OAGufvV3V1U (59:10-59:45) https://youtu.be/TQLyNj_98nM (1:10-1:20), and with guns and ammunition being accessible to both gangs https://youtu.be/wblzKUXCQTs (0:24-1:16) https://youtu.be/YemEzu551CM (0:15-0:19) things may get a lot worse, before even having a chance to get better.
