Has King of Diamonds reopened? A new strip club has popped up with a similar name
Is King of Diamonds back?
Roughly a year after the last cheek ceased shaking at the beloved strip club’s North Miami venue, a new strip club called KOD Miami has opened. The original King of Diamonds was at 17800 Ipco Road; the new one is at 7020 NW 72nd Ave. just south of Medley in the former club Babylon space.
The club’s opening would been a cause for celebration, given how popular the original King of Diamonds was with rappers, sports stars and anyone looking to ball out. But the Ipco Road venue was also known as KOD. The original club’s ownership is not affiliated with the new venture, which they made clear on King of Diamond’s Instagram account, which had been dormant since the club closed.
Attempts to reach KOD Miami’s ownership have been unsuccessful.
In the meantime, the new club’s Instagram shows they seem to have picked up where King of Diamonds left off. Gucci Mane, Trippie Redd and even Trina have all made appearances, and they are hosting auditions for dancers every day.
King of Diamonds’ reign officially ended in Nov. 2018 after bankruptcy led to its eviction, as first reported by the Miami New Times. According to the New Times, the original club was owned by a group of investors operating under the name Kodrenyc LLC, which was managed by financier Elliot “Eli” Kunstlinger.
