Ksoo's Dad Abdul Robinson on Testifying Against His Son in Murder Trial

Abdul Robinson—known publicly as the father of Jacksonville rapper Queso—sits down with VladTV for an explosive and emotional interview detailing the events that led to his son’s life sentence and his own role in the case. Abdul opens up about his criminal past, breaking down the multiple murder charges he previously beat, the 22-year prison sentence that was reduced to 11 years under the First Step Act, and the violent environment that shaped his life long before his son’s case made headlines. Robinson describes the 2019 shooting that left six people injured—including both his nephew and his son—and resulted in two deaths. He explains why he ultimately cooperated with law enforcement, how that cooperation affected Queso’s trial, and the guilt and conflict he continues to carry as both a father and a former street figure. Abdul maintains that his decisions were driven by the escalating dangers of ATK gang activity and his belief that intervention was the only way to stop further violence. This conversation offers a rare look into the brutal realities of Jacksonville’s gang wars, the consequences faced by families caught in the middle, and the lifelong impact of choices made in the streets. Abdul reflects on regret, responsibility, and the painful truth behind testifying in a case involving his own son.
