To earn the right to be crowned “King of Baltimore,” you need intensity, skill, creativity and endurance.
There have been several winners in the dance competition’s 11-year history, but only a few have done it more than once.
Devin “King Devoo” Cook, and Quincy “King Q” Mims are two competitors who can say they’ve done it, but at K.O.B 11 they found themselves standing in each other’s way while on their journey to making history.
The pair also happen to be close friends who’ve faced each other in battles before.
“[He’s] my big brother, my top contender,” Mims said when asked about his relationship with Cook.
The two competitors have now split in their face-offs against each other at K.O.B. but they both believe that every time they battle they bring out the best in each other.
In fact, Cook originally planned on taking a break from battling, until he lost KOB 11 to Mims along with his chance to become the first 3-time King of Baltimore.
Now Mims has his eyes set on becoming the first person to win the crown three times and Cook has even decided to get in better shape for a rematch at KOB 12 in 2025.
