Chicago rapper Chief Keef‘s secret hologram charity concert for a slain infant once again fell victim to backlash and law enforcement.
According to reports, police shut down Keef’s show over the possibility of sparking violence this 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)
Buzz about Keef having a secret show go down following a previous ban bubbled online a few days ago.
“Banned by the Mayor of Chicago. Chief Keef, from a secret Chicago location, live via hologram, collecting for charity. Stop the violence now.” (Chief Keef’s Instagram)

According to reports, the Chicago mayor’s office bashed Keef’s nixed concert last weekend.
Keef’s music “promotes violence” and poses “a significant public safety risk,” Emanuel’s office said Saturday. The rapper couldn’t even attend the show in person, instead opting to perform via hologram, because of outstanding warrants for his arrest. (NY Daily News)
According to reports, Keef’s manager said the concert came to a sudden halt over some backlash last week.
In an emailed statement, event organizer Alki David alluded to interference from the Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor at St. Sabina Catholic Church on Chicago’s South Side: “The meddling, attention seeking Father Pfleger, who bullied the owner of the downtown theater to back out of his contract, will not succeed. He is exploiting this tragedy and taking money away from the victims and solid charities who are doing good work in Chicago.” (Chicago Tribune)
