Ksoo was sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to the second murder.
Ksoo, born Hakeem Armani Robinson, pleaded guilty on Monday (February 23) to the 2019 second-degree murder of 16-year-old rapper Adrien “Lil Bibby” Gainer, according to documents obtained by XXL. The Jacksonville, Florida, rhymer was sentenced to 10 years in prison, followed by five years of probation.
This is the second time Ksoo has been convicted of murder, following his July 2025 conviction for the 2020 murder of rapper Charles “Lil Buck” McCormick. In the case, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Gaynor’s death occurred on February 25, 2019, when the young man was shot to death at the New Hope Apartments, formerly known as the Hilltop Village Apartments. Investigators allegedly found 45 shell casings at the location, First Coast News reported. After the murder, Ksoo allegedly posted several photos and videos on social media bragging about the murder.
In McCormick’s case, he was shot to death on January 15, 2020, at Dames Pointe Plaza on Merrill Road. Authorities believe the crime was motivated by a rap feud that followed the death of Ksoo’s stepbrother, Willie Addison, who was shot to death as he emerged from a club the year before McCormick was murdered.
Ksoo’s father, Abdul Robinson Sr., and Ksoo’s brother, Abdul Robinson Jr., and cousin, Leroy Whitaker, were also convicted of McCormick’s murder. For their roles in the crime, Robinson Sr. was sentenced to time served, Robinson Jr. was sentenced to 12 years in prison and Whitaker was sentenced to life in prison.
