The aforementioned post by XXL magazine further described several details related to FOUR4444’s latest MV featuring an AI version of King Von

As per the outlet’s X post, the rapper’s latest MV was unveiled on November 4, 2025. The track was titled “童趣猫耳手表”, which, when translated by Google, meant “Fun Cat Ear Watch”. The track itself blended cute aesthetics with hardcore elements and had 329k views (as of November 16, 2025)

XXL magazine’s post further noted the striking contrast between the Chinese rapper's petite and youthful appearance and her intense musical delivery. The post described her as “spitting hardcore raps in a deep tone" over "drill production,” highlighting how she merged kawaii visuals with gritty hip-hop influences.

To showcase her lyrical style, the post also featured lines from the track that mix playfulness with aggression.

“Rocking a playful cat ear watch / My flows ’bout to merk you / Talkin’ sht behind my back / Lil dumb a*ses better not let me catch you,” the post added.

The inclusion of an AI version of King Von was perhaps the most divisive element of the Chinese rapper’s music video.

King Von was a hip-hop artist who was acquitted of murder charges before his death. He was rumored to have been involved in multiple street-related incidents and appeared digitally reanimated in the Chinese rapper’s music video.

In fact, the Chinese rapper’s music video featured visuals of the late rapper in an unsettling yet stylized scenario. XXL magazine X post described the moment in stark detail.

“An AI version of King Von makes a cameo in the video. The late Chicago rapper is shown putting his arm around FOUR4444 and pointing a gun at the camera,” their post read.

However, the sight of an AI-generated King Von brandishing a weapon sparked online debate about the moral implications of resurrecting deceased artists through artificial intelligence, especially in explicitly violent or stylized contexts.
