Chief Keef Pays $230,000 To U.K. Promoter Team Major For Missed Performance, Rapper Fails To Show Up To Court?
Rapper Chief Keef has to pay Team Major promoters $230,019 or missing his December 2012 performance in U.K.
Team Major claims that the missed event cost them $75,000, which included his advance. The 17-year-old rapper's team never responded to the lawsuit and the judge awarded Team Major $230,019 for damages, loss of earnings, and reputational harm.
This isn't the first lawsuit for the rapper. Chief Keef was in the media for owing nearly $10,400 in child support to his 15-year-old baby mother.
MStars News previously reported:
In January, rapper Chief Keef, 17, impregnated a girl who is still in middle school. The Chicago rapper is being sued for child support claiming that Keef (real name Keith Cozart) is the father of her daughter she birthed in 2011 in a filed petition.
The name of the young girl is unknown, but she is a current student at a Chicago middle school, which means she had gotten pregnant when she was between 6th grade and 8th grade.
The young rapper was 15 when he first became a father and in Illinois it is a misdemeanor for people under the age 17 to have sex. If both parties are between the ages 9 and 17-years-old the oldest of the two has committed "criminal sexual abuse." If Keef is charged with this crime, he will face the max sentence of one year in prison, however, the rapper may not have any worries of this ever happening. Although, threatening, these cases are rarely tried.
The young mother is suing the rapper for an unknown amount in child support, which includes medical expenses. In addition, to more courtroom drama, the rapper will serve two months in jail after violating probation by conducting an interview at a gun range as well as failing to complete his GED before his court order expired.
During his sentencing, the hardcore rapper broke down in tears as he pleaded guilty to Judge Carl Anthony who did not take light on his sentence for his "blatant violations of the court's order."
