Chief Keef Pays Speeding Ticket Fine



Chief Keef appeared in court Monday to pay off a fine that resulted from his speeding arrest in late May.

Keef, whose birth name is Keith Cozart, was ordered to pay $531 for driving 110 mph on the Edens Expressway in a 55 mph zone, according to the Chicago Sun-Time.

Chief Keef remains on “conditional discharge” and will appear in court on Dec. 12, according to the Chicago Tribune.

During a court hearing in mid-June, placed on probation for 18 months, ordered to perform 60 hours community service, undergo random drug testing and complete eight hours of traffic school.

It could have been worse for the “Hate Being Sober” star who was charged with a Class A misdemeanor.

Chief Keef, born Keith Cozart, could have been fined $2,500 and sentenced a year in prison.

Cook County Circuit Judge Earl Hoffenberg scolded the Interscope artist for his reckless behavior.

“You think you’re invincible, and you’re certainly not,” Cook County Circuit Court Judge Earl Hoffenberg, according to the Tribune. “Violate (conditions of the plea agreement) and you’ll find out you’re not. … I sure hope I don’t see you again, because if I do you better be ready to go to jail.”

Dashcam footage of rapper Chief Keef’s speeding arrest hit the net shortly after his arrest. Sosa was caught “lacking” in traffic after Northfield Police clocked him. Keef’s arrest came following a performance in Davenport, Iowa.

In the video, a very respectful Chief Keef answers and follows the orders of Northfield Police. Once out of his BMW X6 M, Keef is placed in handcuffs and asked a series of questions. Police learn that the young rapper had $8000 in his pockets after being asked how much money was on.

A very comical response from Chief Keef comes towards the end of video when an officer shows him how fast he was going on the speedometer.

“You see that on the dash board up here. The two numbers… well actually the one number… the 110, that’s you okay. That’s how fast you were going,” said the officer.

“That’s a fast car, that’s why I bought it,” said Chief Keef.
