Rising star Sexyy Red and Kayla B, sister of the late King Von, engaged in a public spat over their alleged relationships with rapper Chief Keef. The drama unfolded on social media, with both women sharing what they claim to be evidence of their romantic involvement with the Chicago-based artist.
Sexyy Red, known for her hit "Pound Town," kicked off the controversy by posting a series of photos on Instagram, including screenshots of text messages purportedly from Chief Keef. One message read, "I miss you baby, come back to LA soon." The post, which garnered over 500,000 likes in just 12 hours, was captioned with a cryptic "He know who run it ."
Not to be outdone, Kayla B fired back with her own receipts. She shared a video on Twitter showing Chief Keef in what appeared to be her bedroom, along with the caption, "Sosa been my man, period." The video racked up 2 million views within 24 hours, sparking heated debates among fans.
Industry insiders were quick to weigh in on the situation. DJ Akademiks, known for his hip-hop commentary, tweeted, "Chief Keef got these ladies going crazy. But let's be real, ain't no winner in this game." His post received 50,000 retweets and ignited further discussion about the ethics of public relationship disputes.
The controversy took an unexpected turn when Chief Keef's mother, Lolita Carter, entered the fray. In a now-deleted Facebook post, she wrote, "Y'all need to leave my son out of this mess. He's focused on his music and his kids." The post was shared over 10,000 times before its removal.
Amidst the drama, music critic Carl Chery of XXL Magazine noted, "This kind of publicity can be a double-edged sword. It might boost streams in the short term, but it can also overshadow an artist's work." Indeed, Chief Keef's latest single "Tony Montana Flow" saw a 30% increase in Spotify streams following the controversy.
As the situation continues to unfold, fans and critics alike are questioning the impact on all parties involved. Relationship expert Dr. Jenn Mann commented, "Public disputes like this can be damaging to everyone's mental health and reputation. It's crucial for these young artists to prioritize their well-being over social media clout."
Neither Chief Keef nor his representatives have officially commented on the situation. His upcoming album, "4NEM 2," is still slated for release next month, with industry analysts closely watching how this controversy might affect its reception.
