While 17-year-old rapper Chief Keef, sits behind bars on probation violations, a new scandal has hit the marijuana smoking, violence prone star. According to TMZ, Keef, real name, Keith Cozart, has been hit with a child support lawsuit for knocking up a 14-year-old girl in 2011, who is in middle school. It is estimated she was between the ages of 12 and 13 when the sexual encounter occurred and the rapper was 16.
Chief Keef
Under Illinois law, this is illegal and constitutes a misdemeanor. It's time for Keef to take stock of his life. Arrests, teen pregnancies and explicit lyrics such as "I can f**k your mama" and "we smoke dope all day all night" are indicators that he needs to change his lifestyle before it destroys him. This lifestyle has already cost his fellow rapper and friend Lil Reese a lot of trouble.
Warning: Video contains violence and profane language
This terrible trend of violence against women has got to stop. It is not
funny or cute. Chicago gang member Lil Reese, who has been signed to a record
deal with Def Jam and Interscope (the latter is the distributor for Glory Boys
Entertainment), is the subject of a viral video that exposes the rapper as a
woman beater. Lil Reese is seen attacking and brutally beating a young woman. As
the unprovoked attack escalates, he begins stomping on her head, in conduct that
is positively criminal.
Reese has since apologized on Twitter, after initially trying to excuse his
conduct, which is very troubling, "'Everybdy makes mistakes. I
was out of charcter & ive grown sense then Dont judge me for my past i can admit
my wrongs and I apologize.#3hunna.” Reese originally stated, "'The haters tryna see
a mf Dwn lol Dey gotta b broke and bored wanna upload sum s--- from years ago
damnn we winnin it’s 2 late...#3hunna.'”
Lil Reese
It's ironic that he can't see that based
on the violent video, he is the hater. The Chicago Sun Times also reported
regarding Lil Reese, "He was harshly criticized last month when a Tweet on his
account mocked the Englewood slaying of rival rapper Joseph 'Lil JoJo' Coleman,
18."
Def Jam and Interscope have become two of the sewers of the music industry,
signing thieving, profane, vicious people to record deals, who have no business
being on television or radio with that mindset. Their impact on the public,
especially pop culture, is repulsive and regrettable, but as long as the label
makes money, they simply do not care. It's a sad indictment of the music
industry and Hollywood by extension, where these artists inevitable end up and
are embraced for not listening to their conscience and routinely doing the
unthinkable.
