Chief Keef fought hard to hold a benefit concert honoring a young boy and his cousin Capo, but the rapper was ultimately taken down by Mayor Rahm Emanuel. The incident seems to have sparked a political side of Keef, who announced that he wanted to run for mayor of Chicago.
"I'm running for mayor of Chicago..... Vote for me!!!! It'll be the best thing done yet!!!!! Yall gonna love me in the Office....."
Keef was able to perform his hit song "Don't Like" via hologram at the show before police stormed in and shut the power off and kicked everyone out of the venue. Mayor Emmanuel expressed concern about the concert and his staff told the Chicago Tribune that Keef's "music promotes violence," and added that the concert "posed a significant public safety risk."
Police commander Pat Vicari explained, "We spoke to the promoter several times, and they assured us [Chief Keef] would not be performing. 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."
