The jarring headline that Ksoo's father would be testifying against him solicited some ill-will toward Abdul Robinson Sr. He's recently spoken out about the backlash his decision has received and puts the onus on his son to have gotten him out of the situation.
Robinson Sr. stated, through social media, that if he were in this situation with his father that he would've done everything in his power to get his dad released. "Who would leave their dad in jail to rot knowing their innocent?" he asked.
He punctuated his message with "#FreeGood/Greatdads."

According to documents obtained by First Coast News, Abdul Robinson Sr., 51, is cooperating with authorities and will testify against his son, Jacksonville rapper Ksoo, real name Hakeem Robinson, 23, in a first-degree murder case. Prosecutors allege that Robinson Sr. is the leader of a violent drug gang known as ATK or Ace's Top Killers, and they also claim that Ksoo is a member of the gang.
Ksoo was indicted for first-degree murder for the deaths of Adrian Gainer, aka Bibby, in February 2019, and Charles McCormick, aka Lil Buck, in January 2020. Both Gainer and McCormick were also rappers in Jacksonville.
Robinson Sr. is charged as an accessory after the fact of first-degree murder for the death of Damon Rothermel, 50, who was killed by a stray bullet while riding his bike. Between this case and the McCormick case, he is also facing three felony charges that could each carry sentences of 30 years in prison. In addition, Ksoo's brother, Abdul Robinson Jr., has also been indicted for first-degree murder in McCormick's murder case. Three others are also charged in the case.
Dominique Barner, one of the six defendants in McCormick's murder case, is also cooperating with investigators, and he revealed more information about the beef between McCormick and Ksoo. According to investigators, Barner stated that Ksoo started beefing with McCormick after he dissed Ksoo's half-brother, Willie Addison, aka Boss Goon, who was murdered on January 16, 2019.
According to prosecutors and police, an off-duty officer witnessed a gunman use a rifle to kill McCormick and then flee in a Nissan Altima. Prosecutors claim that surveillance footage shows that Ksoo was the shooter, which the rapper's attorneys deny. The off-duty officer chased the Nissan until it crashed and three people fled on foot. Prosecutors say fingerprints on a rifle found in the Nissan and hair on a nearby t-shirt were linked to Ksoo. Ksoo has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Jacksonville rapper Foolio, who spoke to VladTV about his friendship with Bibby, reacted to the news of Ksoo's father testifying against him in the case. He wrote on his Instagram Stories, "Lol I said this months ago all the opps said I was cap [.] I'm a genie wit this sh*t [.] Free [Ksoo] all them ratting."
