Milwaukee Club Bars Chief Keef Performance Due To Criminal History



A Milwaukee club is cancelling the appearance of famed “Drill” rapper Chief Keef due to his criminal history, according 620WTMJ.

Milwaukee’s Club 618 is the destination the “Chicago Drift Tour,” which features various Windy City talent, including King Louie and the “Hate Being Sober” rapper.

The Interscope artist was recently arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after being found in possession of marijuana in a hotel room.

The Chicago native was arrested at the LeMeridan Hotel at 111 Perimeter Center West in Dunwoody, north of Atlanta, a spokesman for the Dunwoody Police Department told the Chicago Tribune.

Chief Keef, whose real name is Keith Farelle Cozart, was booked in the DeKalb County Jail at 4:37 p.m. and released on his own recognizance around 3:20 a.m. today, the Tribune reports.

Keef issued a statement via his Twitter account.

“Jus Got Out Of Dekalb County jail In Atlanta Mad As fuck,” he wrote.



The rapper posted his mug shot onto his Instagram account.



Interscope artist Chief Keef was sentenced to 60 Days in a juvenile detention center for violating his probation earlier this year.

Juvenile Court Judge Carl Anthony Walker ordered Chief Keef into custody for his role in operating a firearm during an interview with Pitchfork Media in June 2012.

Walker ordered the online music publication to turn over “the entire unedited version” of Chicago rapper Chief Keef holding a rifle at a gun range. In the video, Chief Keef, whose real name is Keith Cozart, can be seen shooting the weapon inside the gun range.

Chief Keef was placed on an 18-month probation for pointing a loaded handgun at a Chicago police officer in 2011.

Police responded to a call of shots fired on Dec. 2, 2011 just before noon on the 6100 block of South Indiana, according to DNAinfo.com.

Police confronted Chief Keef as he was walking out of his grandmother’s apartment complex. Chief Keef, who was 16 years old at the time, brandished a loaded “blue-steel handgun” and eluded police for a half-block before being apprehended.

While in pursuit, police fired several shots at Cozart, but missed, according to a police report obtained by DNAinfo.com

Though the rapper, born Keith Cozart, didn’t fire his weapon, he did point his gun at officers- twice.

Cozart reportedly was charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a firearm on a police officer and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon- all felonies. He was sentenced to home confinement at his grandmother’s house- the same home where the viral “I Don’t Like” music video was shot.
