The latest chapter in the ongoing Chief Keef hologram chronicles has brought more bad news for the Chicago rapper. According to Billboard, a planned hologram concert in support of Keef's new album, Bang 3, has been moved from the Fonda Theater in Los Angeles following an incident during preparations for the show in which one of Keef's producers was reportedly injured. However, the concert will still take place, but will just go down at a parking lot close to the original venue.
“AEG and the Fonda Theater have continued the shameful cycle of blaming hip-hop and the artistic expression of urban youth for their own corporate malfeasance,” Alki David, CEO of FilmOn and Hologram USA told Billboard. “This follows on the Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s attempts to silence Keef and scapegoat him for his city’s complete inability to solve the war-zone like crisis on the South Side, and on the Madison Square Garden Company’s bumbling attempt to back out of a tri-city peace concert to benefit the family of a murdered baby.”

Meanwhile, a statement from AEG and Fonda Theater disputes David's claims. “We strongly dispute the allegations made by Chief Keef’s associates of the events leading to the legal cancellation of his show. After a walk through at the venue with Chief Keef’s production team, based on strong concerns for the safety of our employees and the public, we exercised our contractual right and canceled the show. Subsequently, they filed a police report and therefore no further comment can be made."
As of now, the "Bang 3 Hologram Fest" is still scheduled to proceed and can be streamed via FilmOn.com right here.
