Chicago rapper Chief Keef is fuming following the immediate shutdown of a hologram tribute concert he put together for a slain infant last weekend.
Keef unloaded his frustrations toward Chicago’s Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who he blames for the show coming to a premature end, in a new interview.
“I was really shocked,” Keef tells Billboard over the phone from California, adding that he first realized his performance had been shut down when color bars appeared on his TV monitor. “[City officials] just be hating. They don’t want to see a young black man be successful and try to do something good. It’s crazy.” He has harsher, more-colorful words when asked for his opinion of Emanuel: “If you ask me, man, f— the mayor with a sandpaper d*ck! Say it like that.” (Billboard)
Keef also confirmed speculation about running for mayor of his city.
In fact, on July 27, he announced on Twitter that he plans to run for mayor. Is he serious? “Hell yeah, I’m running!” he says. “I’m going to get all the ballots and everything. Chief Keef for mayor! Vote for me! They’re going to love me when I get into office. I’m going to make everything right.” (His 2011 gun charge, however, would disqualify him from running.) (Billboard)
Chief Keef announced plans to run for mayor earlier this week on Twitter.
According to reports, police shut down Keef’s Chicago secret show last weekend.
Hammond police Cmdr. Pat Vicari said the promoters were warned the concert would be shut down if Chief Keef performed. “We spoke to the promoter several times, and they assured us (Chief Keef) would not be performing,” Vicari said. “Later, an officer working the show realized it was being streamed on one of the hip-hop sites, and promoters were warned again they would be shut down.” (The Washington Post)
