Late Tuesday night, teenaged Chicago rapper Lil Jojo was gunned down in his hometown. The fact he was in the middle of a heated beef with Chief Keef and his crew, all eyes were on them…and they didn’t make for a good case. In fact, Keef did just the opposite. “Niggas dry snitching #ShhhhhhhhBrickboyz,” he tweeted to his over 200k followers. The name of Jojo’s crew was the Brick Squad. He also threw in some “haha’s” for good measure, as well as the other tweets yesterday, basically mocking the situation.
Now, their local paper is reporting both Keef and his crew member Lil Reese (who Jojo’s real beef was with) will be investigated by Chicago PD. They also reached out to Keef’s manager Rovan Manuel who naturally, maintains his artist’s innocence. He points out Keef’s age as a factor for his immature tweets. See what he had to say below.
…He was unaware of the controversy.” It wasn’t until being told about the Tweet by the Sun-Times that Manuel realized why his phone rang incessantly Wednesday. His number was posted on Chief Keef’s Twitter page.
But Manuel told the Sun-Times he didn’t believe the message meant “anything personally.” He said Keef had a beef with JoJo only because “that kid made songs like Keef.”
A lot of the stuff Keef does, that’s just cause he’s a kid,” Manuel said. “People forget that he’s a kid, a teenager … and kids make mistakes. He makes mistakes the hard way.”

I know Keef and his man probably did it but i dont want them to go to jail , dey still comin up in the game !
They bout to have this teacher strike. Last thing we need is old beef from Fort and King David to light up that space from 63 to 69. Too many lil folks in that space tryin to make it. This war is nothingness. This war is a sickness of old design. Time to build. The destruction already scars time and space. They even fighting in Ryan Harris Park. Older and wiser heads unite. Take a stand. We need more folks in the spot to make ish right.
