Why did Tim Anderson have a picture of King Von on his profile? Exploring White Sox Shortstop's connection with deceased rapper

Tim Anderson recently went on a barrage of tweets after his brawl with Jose Ramirez, which sent shockwaves around the world of baseball. He has replaced his old Twitter display picture with a blank dark image, but right before that, he had a picture of the deceased rapper King Von.

King Von was a rapper out of Chicago who became popular in the late 2010s. His music was gaining recognition, but he was involved in criminal gang related activities that eventually became the reason for his death. He was found murdered in a parking lot gunfight with an opposing gang.

As for Anderson, he has been with the Chicago White Sox since 2013. Making his major league debut in 2016, the White Sox infielder quickly became a city-favorite.

Before his death in 2020, King Von and Tim Anderson worked together to make a contribution to community service in Chiago. Since then, the pair became close friends and were spotted in many public events.

During his recent Twitter onslaught, Anderson had his friend's picture on his profile display. That has piqued the interest of fans as they tried to link the two Chicago personalities together.
