At a time when Chief Keef really can't afford any more legal trouble or controversy, he's managed to stir some up. The 17-year-old rapper on Thursday said of Katy Perry: “Ill Smack The S--- out of her," followed by an emoticon of an open hand.
A bit of context: On Tuesday, the pop singer tweeted that she “just heard a new song on the radio called ‘I hate being sober’" and she now has "serious doubt for the world." The song she was referencing (although unbeknownst to her) belongs to Keef. He responded on Thursday via Twitter, saying, “Dat b---- Katy Perry Can Suck Skin Off Of my D---.” After he threatened to assault the pop star, it didn't take him long to subsequently turn to every rapper's favorite form of revenge: "New Song Katy Perry Coming Soon," he promised, suggesting he'd soon hit the studio and crank out a track aimed at his new nemesis.
Although Perry has previously had her fair share of spats, she quickly tried to nip this one. “Mr. Keef! I’m sorry if I offended you," she said late Thursday night on Twitter. "I heard a lot of people guesting on the song & didn’t even know it was you in particular. Actually… I’m a fan of your ‘Don’t Like’ video tbh. I was really just having a general opinion on our generations desire to be constantly intoxicated.” Look at Ms. Perry, sounding all grown-up!
It's worth noting that just this week, Chief Keef was arrested in Atlanta and charged with disorderly conduct. He's also currently on probation in Illinois for a 2011 incident in which he pulled a gun on a police officer. Keef told the judge during his sentencing, “I beg you, please. Give me one more chance to show you I am a very good-hearted person. I have not picked up any more cases … That’s not my life anymore.”
While Perry likely thought it wise to avoid further irritating Keef, who has rapped about threatening to murder a woman who refused to perform oral sex on him (he was also accused of hiring a hitman to take out another rapper), it seems the MC has since accepted her apology, tweeting, "Oh Im Sorry Too Then."
Good to see everyone getting along, but does anyone else still kind of want to hear that song Chief Keef threatened to write about the "Teenage Dream" singer? Those "dis" tracks are always the worst.
