Chief Keef is back in the news yet again. An Instagram photo featuring Keef, his mother and cousin Fredo Santana flashing gang signs has started going viral. The photo, taken late last year, features the Chicago rapper and family members all flashing the “O Block” sign, an offshoot faction of the violent Black Disciples street gang.  This latest bit of controversy adds to a growing list of instances involving the 17-year-old Windy City native, including the shooting death of a stepbrother and the “I Don’t Like” rappers current 2-month stint in juvenile detention sentence for parole violation. Not much is known about Chief Keef’s mother, save for a few scattered photos on the Web. It is known that the “I Don’t Like” artist is not close to his father, Alfosno Cozart; this according to a report from DNAinfo.com Chicago after Keef’s stepbrother Ulysses “Chris” Gissendanner III was slain. Keef’s long-rumored gang affiliations have been fodder for the media ever since the unsolved killing of rival rapper and alleged gang member Joseph “Lil JoJo” Coleman launched a police investigation. With recent reports of a $6 million Interscope record deal on the line and a child support lawsuit from a middle school girl, Chief Keef’s management team has more damage control to undertake after this latest snafu since parole boards don’t take kindly to parolees kicking it with gangs.

Chief Keef’s 19-Year-Old Stepbrother Gunned Down On Chicago’s South Side

Chief Keef’s 19-year-old stepbrother Ulysses “Chris” Gissendanner III has become yet another victim of Chicago, Illinois’ shooting epidemic. According to DNA Info (via SOHH), Gissendanner was shot in the back of the head on the Far South Side on January 2nd. The aspiring rapper was killed in a car near 124th Street and South Ave. while visiting his uncle in West Pullman. He later died at Roseland Hospital. Alfonso Cozart, who claims to be Keef’s biological father, was stepfather to Gissendanner, whose rap name was YPN Boomtown. Keef was related to Gissendanner through marriage. Cozart, who no longer speaks with Chief Keef, said that Gissendanner’s murder makes him worry about Keef’s well being. “As a caring father, who wouldn’t worry about that?” Cozart asked. “I do want my son to have success and have a long, positive life, and I hope the best for him.” He added that he doesn’t want Keef’s fame to overshadow Gissendanner’s passing. “He just graduated high school, and was in college and had a job. He was a positive person,” Cozart said. “I’m not trying to get publicity of Chief Keef being my son. I want you to focus on Ulysses. He’s the one that’s gone.” This marks yet another recent death for Chicago teens due to gunfire. Keef’s alleged enemy Lil JoJo lost his life at 16, while Joshua was murdered at 18 years old, both late last year.
