Troubled rapper Chief Keef, real name Keith Cozart, will be back in a court room on September 13, this time over allegations for failing to maintain his court ordered child support payments.
In May (2013), the "I Don't Like" rapper was suppose to begin paying the unnamed teenage mother of his child $2,600 a month, in addition to $500 in day care fees and $10,400 in back support.
The teen mom found herself back in court, insisting the Chi-town rapper only paid her $1,900 so far, making it hard for her to support herself and the child.
17-year-old Keef reportedly father the child when he was 15 with the female being two months younger.
Chief Keef is making headlines again, and this time it’s not for his music. The Chicago-born rapper is due in court over claims he’s a deadbeat dad. With an estimated net worth of $6 million, the 26 year old has been accused of shirking his responsibility to provide financial support for two children he fathered with different women. This isn’t the first time Chief Keef has had legal issues, but if found guilty, the consequences could be severe and have far reaching implications for him personally and professionally. Read on to find out more about the case against Chief Keef as well as what might happen next.
Allegations Of Nonpayment
Allegations of nonpayment have been brought against rapper Chief Keef, as he is accused of failing to make child support payments for his two sons. The case was brought forward by the mothers of the children, who claim that Keef has failed to provide adequate financial support.
Keef’s attorneys argue that their client is not at fault for any missed payments and insist that all arrangements were made in accordance with court orders. They also assert that there are no legal grounds on which a payment could be enforced. However, it appears that the judge presiding over the case does not agree with this assessment.
The outcome of this hearing will determine whether or not Chief Keef will face criminal charges related to nonpayment. It remains unclear what kind of punishment he may receive if found guilty, but one thing is certain: these allegations come at an inconvenient time for Keef as he attempts to revive his career after several years away from the public eye.
History Of Child Support Disputes
Chief Keef’s legal troubles are nothing new. This is not the first time he has been taken to court over child support disputes; in fact, this is part of a long-standing pattern for him. In 2015, his baby mama Tiairah Marie filed suit against the rapper claiming that he had failed to pay her nearly $20,000 in back child support payments. The case was eventually settled out of court but it serves as an example of how serious these charges can be.
Even more recently, another one of Keef’s exes brought similar accusations against him. She alleged that he owed her upwards of $50,000 and sought relief from the courts by filing a motion for contempt and requesting enforcement of the original judgement on unpaid child support orders. While no official ruling has been made yet, it appears that Chief Keef will have to face these allegations head on if he wants to move forward with his career unscathed.
It remains unclear what consequences await Chief Keef should he be found guilty in either case. However, with both mothers seeking significant amounts of money for missed payments, there could be steep financial penalties imposed upon him – just when things seemed like they were finally looking up for the controversial rap star.
Conclusion
It’s clear that Chief Keef has a history of not paying his child support. He is now headed back to court over the deadbeat dad claims, and it will be interesting to see what happens next.
If Chief Keef doesn’t take responsibility for his children financially, he could end up having serious consequences. He may have to pay hefty fines or even face jail time if found guilty. If this does happen, it would be an unfortunate situation for everyone involved.
Ultimately, Chief Keef must make sure he takes care of his family in terms of financial obligations and other responsibilities. It’s important that all parents do their part when it comes to taking care of their kids — after all, they are our future. Hopefully this latest dispute can be resolved soon so that both parties can move on with their lives without any more conflict.
