Chief Keef’s Los Angeles Hologram Concert Moved From Original Venue
Chief Keef‘s “Bang 3 Hologram Fest” was scheduled to take place tonight at the Fonda Theater in Los Angeles. However, the show has been moved from the Fonda Theater, as Billboard reports. According to a statement given to Billboard, one of Keef’s producers was allegedly hurt during a prep meeting for the concert. The statement claims the cancellation is related to the incident.
“AEG and the Fonda Theater have continued the shameful cycle of blaming hip-hop and the artistic expression of urban youth for their own corporate malfeasance,” said Alki David, who owns FilmOn and Hologram USA, the companies responsible for promoting the show, as well as Keef’s record label. “This follows on the Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s attempts to silence Keef and scapegoat him for his city’s complete inability to solve the war-zone like crisis on the South Side, and on the Madison Square Garden Company’s bumbling attempt to back out of a tri-city peace concert to benefit the family of a murdered baby.”
A representative for AEG, the company responsible for the Fonda Theater, told Billboard: “We strongly dispute the allegations made by Chief Keef’s associates of the events leading to the legal cancellation of his show. After a walk through at the venue with Chief Keef’s production team, based on strong concerns for the safety of our employees and the public, we exercised our contractual right and canceled the show. Subsequently, they filed a police report and therefore no further comment can be made.”
However, the show is now scheduled to entirely take place at the parking lot next to the theater, which is owned by David. Originally, the show’s after party—which was to feature the hologram performance—was scheduled to take place in the parking lot, while the live performance was to take place in the theater. (Keef’s spokesperson didn’t elaborate whether Keef would perform live or as a hologram in the parking lot.)
Keef has continued to promote the event on his Twitter. If it goes down, you can stream it here via FilmOn.com. The show celebrates the release of the double-album version of his Bang 3 LP, which is out today.
Originally, Keef intended to perform as a hologram at a memorial concert for a toddler in Chicago, owing to his hazy legal status: due to his outstanding warrants, he isn’t allowed in Chicago. After being moved to Hammond, Indiana, the show was shut down.
Following those cancellations in Chicago and Hammond, Keef threatened a lawsuit against Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. A plan to stage a holographic concert held simultaneously in Chicago, Los Angeles and New York City was also put on hold.
Not everyone can be a winner. Detroit native and hip-hop sensation 42 Dugg is back with a fiery new single, Win Wit Us. The track, a precursor to his highly anticipated album 4eva Us, Neva Them, showcases Dugg’s signature style and lyrical prowess. In the brand new single, produced by FLEXONTHEBEAT, TyMaz, and Marshak, Dugg calls out those who try to ride his wave without putting in the work, cementing his stance in the rap game. The release is accompanied by an official music video directed by Counter Point, where Dugg and his crew dominate the streets and clubs of Detroit, visually reinforcing his message of loyalty and resilience. Dugg raps in the hard-hitting track:
All of sudden they wanna win wit us / But ain’t spin with us.
Dugg previously teased this new era of his music with a trailer featuring Hill Harper, further building anticipation among his fans. “Win Wit Us” follows a series of recent hits including Wock N Red, SpinDatBac, and Go Again. Earlier this year, Dugg made a triumphant return to the stage with a sold-out “Welcome Home” show at Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena, featuring appearances by superstars like Meek Mill, Yo Gotti, Lil Baby, and more. Notably, the event saw Dugg unite Detroit’s rival hip-hop factions, Doughboyz Cashout and Team Eastside, in a historic move to end the city’s East-West beef. Fans can expect even more groundbreaking music from Dugg as he gears up for his upcoming album. Don’t miss out on the latest single available for streaming here and watch the music video below.
