Interscope has possibly parted ways with 19-year-old drill star Chief Keef.
Since Chief Keef signed with Interscope in Summer 2012, he's given them his debut album, Finally Rich, and... not much else. Since dropping that project in Decemeber 2012, Keef has not only failed to put out a follow-up, but his already-lengthy rap sheet has gotten longer -- and now Interscope has reportedly dropped him from their roster.
AllHipHop says they have info from an unnamed source inside Interscope, and write, "Interscope began to 'subtly disassociate' itself from the 19-year-old rapper after he had a series of legal cases sprout up in 2013 and 2014." Adding that Keef's been "quietly dropped," the source says “Keef and his people tried to keep the label accountable (once Keef moved to Los Angeles) but Interscope didn’t seem interested in dropping a new album. Keef’s team tried to have formal meetings but nothing moved.”
Stay tuned for official confirmation, and expect Keef's new output (which has already been pretty weird) to keep getting weirder.

Pretty sure he was 16
He'll be straight tho cuz these lil kids these days ? eat him and his team -
They need to drop whoever signed him in the first place. But we all know that will never happen.

Not surprised

Lmfao @ Chief Keef ages in dog years.

Bang!

Seen this ? coming when his album flopped

Keef is talented too but if he don't grow up and get better ppl around him he's going to be a flash in the pan. 50 tried to school him, Lupe tried to school him (and Lupe himself has a ? up deal), and Wiz tried to school him. He just aint having it man. I don't think he cares - for now but he better start. On top of that ? his boss Gucci is in jail SMMFH. Keef is NOT in a good position.

They've been waiting to do that for a loooong time don't let them fool ya. Keef was a liability and if I'm not mistaken that 6 mil they gave him he got most of it upfront. ? splurged their money on cars and hoes man. Interscope has to take a write down on Keef, he's not doing anything for them, won't fulfill his end of the bargain, i.e. do scheduled appearances, tours, drop albums or give them the singles they want etc. Even his mixtapes. He signed a joint deal to Brick Squad and the records he droppin wit them THEY'RE getting paid for but not interscope.
I'm not surprised they got fed up and said ? it. Keef is talented too but if he don't grow up and get better ppl around him he's going to be a flash in the pan. 50 tried to school him, Lupe tried to school him (and Lupe himself has a ? up deal), and Wiz tried to school him.

Now its ovaaa'. Now it's ooovvaaa...
Edit: Someone predicted the other day that this was the reason why he dropped that Wayne homage. Give that ? a cookie...It's like his ad libs are his lyrics and his lyrics are his adlibs. Guess he knows he getting dropped so he wants to sign with ymcmb
Edit2: @gemini86 called the ? . -
I'm actually a little impressed by the the spelling. -
Update: Keef posted a text conversation with Chicago rapper Lucki Eck$ to Twitter that if accurate, reveal that he’s officially no longer on Interscope and hasn’t been for a week now. 19-year-old Keith “Chief Keef” Cozart has been dropped from his Interscope Records deal after clashes with label brass about future releases and a string of high-profile incidents, ranging from lawsuits to drug offenses.

"laughing because to me I been dropped"
-
Who didn't see this coming?
They dumped all that money in his contract to drum up interest in Interscope but put a stipulation allowing them to cancel him anytime they felt like it.
This was never about molding him into a long time profitable artist. -
It seems to me that the only new rapper to come out in the last 6 years to do it right is Drake.
-
He's actually in a better position now
This was a blessing -
Drinking all that lean ? up his music.
