The long-simmering and deadly feud between the rap and street camps of Chicago’s late King Von and Lil Durk, and Baton Rouge’s YoungBoy Never Broke Again (NBA), has boiled over once again, moving from diss tracks and social media barbs to a horrifying, real-life manhunt across state lines. The latest escalation involves two prominent figures from the rival gangs: Memo 600, a legendary member of the Chicago Black Disciples-affiliated 600 gang, and Ben 10, one of YoungBoy’s most notorious and aggressive enforcers.

This is not a confrontation born of a simple misunderstanding. It is rooted in a brutal, years-long conflict that has already claimed multiple lives. The bad blood ignited when King Von and YoungBoy’s label mate, Quando Rondo, entered into a beef. A fatal altercation in Atlanta in 2020 saw King Von killed by Quando Rondo’s associate, Lil Tim. This tragedy led to Lil Durk, a close friend of Von, launching an alleged revenge campaign that is believed to have culminated in the August 2022 killing of Quando Rondo’s cousin, Lil Pab, in Los Angeles. The legal fallout has been severe, with Lil Durk now facing murder-for-hire charges that could potentially keep him incarcerated for decades. With YoungBoy out of jail and enjoying immense success on a massive blockbuster tour, the tensions among the Chicago crews who “rocked with Vaughn” have been palpable, and the search for retribution against the NBA camp has been ceaseless.

In this context of extreme violence and high stakes, Memo 600 chose to throw down a dangerous, personal challenge that immediately transformed an online beef into an urgent, geographically-targeted threat.

The Audacious Challenge in Enemy Territory

Memo 600, a figure well-known for his association with King Von and Oblock, and recognized as a rapper in his own right, decided to take the beef directly to YoungBoy’s backyard. Memo posted content indicating he had driven hundreds of miles, boasting to his rivals, “We on the way, We in the city, We’re in your state. Look out, man.” One image showed him with a serious assault rifle, accompanied by the caption “yo city hurricane emoji kiss emoji,” a clear statement that he was “spinning through” Louisiana.

While Memo initially posted a picture in New Orleans, the confrontation intensified when he geolocated himself in the true center of YoungBoy’s orbit: Baton Rouge. He posted from a well-known local establishment, the Juicy Seafood Restaurant and Bar, a spot confirmed to be in the heart of Baton Rouge. This was a deliberate and unambiguous move to challenge the NBA crew on their home turf. He rubbed it in their faces, asserting, “I’m in Baton Rouge too, I’m outside.”

The stunt was a masterclass in aggressive trolling. Memo even went live, letting viewers know he was “navigating the streets of Louisiana,” smirking at the rival gang members who were tuning in. He pinned a comment stating, “Let’s go get some gumbo in Baton Rouge, I hear everything sweet over there,” an obvious and highly provocative taunt. This bold, public challenge, seemingly driven by a desire for “clout farming” and trolling, set the stage for an explosive counter-response.

Ben 10’s Immediate and Furious Response

The escalation from online banter to real-life danger was instantaneous, thanks to the swift actions of Ben 10, a man described as one of YoungBoy’s biggest and most serious enforcers.

Ben 10, whose street name is Baby Boy 10, was not only watching Memo’s live stream but was actively engaging, commenting, “Where you at?” Once Memo’s exact location—or at least the name of the restaurant—was public, Ben 10 immediately dispatched himself, turning the incident into a literal manhunt. He took to social media, posting videos and stories, tagging Memo and challenging him to meet.

In a video, a clearly agitated Ben 10 stated, “I’m glad I’m down here, I just made it. Tell dude 6 whatever me whatever name my na down here literally down here ask where to meet me at pull up… come out here right now like if you a gangster.” He demanded that Memo stop with the “py sh*t” and “have a conversation,” framing his immediate response as a serious, non-negotiable pull-up to deal with the challenge.

Ben 10’s actions were meticulous and aggressive. He was recorded at multiple locations, with one video showing him specifically driving up to and looking around the exterior of the Juicy Seafood Restaurant, the exact location Memo had tagged. He confirmed his mission, saying to women in his car, “I’m in that restaurant you posted,” and letting the world know he was on a “mission right now.” He even posted to Instagram later, saying, “I’m trying to catch him and make his last post go viral,” underscoring the lethal intent behind his search.

The difference in motive was stark: Memo 600 seemed intent on clout farming and trolling for views, while Ben 10 was intent on standing on business and enforcing a dangerous, real-world street code. The sheer speed of Ben 10’s pull-up—driving and searching for hours—highlighted the seriousness of the NBA crew’s commitment to defending their territory.

The Clout Farming Debate and the Unresolved Showdown

The viral nature of the confrontation led to an explosion of memes and commentary on social media, with the whole incident being dubbed “Finding Nemo” by fans, a nod to Memo’s aggressive but ultimately evasive actions. The internet dissected every post, fueling skepticism about Memo’s claims. Rumors quickly circulated that the times on his posts did not align with the actual time in Baton Rouge, and one post showed a picture of the New Orleans skyline with an old Super Bowl ad on display, suggesting he was reposting old content to fake his current location.

Rival gang members, including BBG Young (associated with the Baton Rouge-based Bottom Boy Gorillas, who have historical ties to the NBA camp), piled on, accusing Memo of being lost and of simply clout chasing from his couch in Chicago. Yet, the consensus was clear: whether Memo was actually there or not, Ben 10 was undeniably present, serious, and actively looking for him.

The situation was tense enough that the possibility of a violent clash became a widely discussed reality. The video commenter notes the immense danger, pointing out that if the Feds had caught wind of Memo’s activities, they would have intervened, and expressed concern for Memo’s safety if he were to be locked up in a city where YoungBoy’s crew “was running them jails.”

The conflict is a tragic illustration of how the internet has eliminated the safety of geographic distance in gang conflicts. The beef, which has been escalating for years, has already had devastating real-world consequences, forcing venues to cancel YoungBoy’s shows in places like Chicago for fear of such violence spilling into the audience. The showdown between Memo 600 and Ben 10, whether a close call or a successful evasion, confirms that the boundaries between online threats and offline violence have completely dissolved. For these gangs, the war is continuous, the stakes are life itself, and the price of a viral challenge can be deadly.
