After releasing just one project together, the double albumBang 3, Chief Keef's contract with billionaire Alki David has apparently been suspended. "Chief Keef's contract was suspended 2 weeks ago because his management went off and did a tour without our approval," the FilmOn founder told VladTV just days ago. "Not happy with the direction they are taking him." David's frustrations, however, are not with Keef himself but with his "shady" management's questionable business decisions:
FilmOn wants to launch Chief Keef's career further than the circuit his management team currently keeps him in. "Same shit over and over," he says. "Limiting his appeal to a wider audience and I'm not saying he should sell out, just be more prolific."
Though the suspension remains in effect, including the decision to repo Keef’s BMW i8, David has faith that the artist he admires can still achieve the success he deserves. "I don’t blame Keith," David told VladTV. "I blame his shady management. Keith is a fucking rap superstar."
As previously reported, Keef stirred a bit of controversy earlier this year when he named his newborn son Sno FilmOn Dot Com Cozart, an obvious nod to David's FilmOn empire and Keef's contract. However, this move was quickly derailed by a paternity suit, with David eventually issuing a statement to Billboard confirming that the process of actually naming the kid "FilmOn" had been put on pause:
In light of new developments disputing that Chief Keef is the father of Baby Sno, the streaming TV and music platform FilmOn.com is retracting the right to let the mother, Lauren Woods, use the middle name FilmOn Dot Com until paternity is settled. We wish Ms. Woods all the best.
