Chicago rapper Chief Keef could be sent back to jail for violating his probation, prosecutors said in court yesterday (October 17). Prosecutors are seeking to put the 17-year-old rapper in a juvenile detention facility, for two different probation violations. Chief Keef, born Keith Cozart, is currently on 18 months of probation for pointing a gun at a police officer. The rapper is accused of violating his probation, by shooting guns at a range for a video/article that was to appear in Pitchfork magazine and failing to complete GED courses. According to reports, prosecutors are also seeking more information from Chief on the murder of rival Chicago rapper Joseph “Lil JoJo” Coleman, who was shot and killed during a war of words with Keef and his rap crew. Chicago police also said Chief Keef’s life was in danger any time he was in Chicago. “Anytime he is in Chicago, he is a potential target and anyone around him is in jeopardy, including innocent kids,” Nicholas Roti, chief of the Chicago Police Department’s Organized Crime Bureau, told the Chicago Sun-Times.
