St. Sabina Catholic Church pastor the Rev. Michael Pfleger wrote on Facebook that Chief Keef shouldn’t be holding a concert.
“Chief Keef is one of the reasons we have all this violence … he has been one of the encourager’s of the violence. … Instead of having a concert … why doesn’t he man up and acknowledge it’s time to stop this violence and apologize for his part in it!!!! We don’t need a concert … we need PEACE,” Pfleger wrote Monday.
In a statement, Chief Keef said he has plans to help stop the violence in Chicago.
“I’m with the ‘Stop The Violence’ campaign. That’s why I paintball now. Everybody go pick up some paintball lessons, go to the field. I think it’s a big deal to do that. It’s crazy back home. I’m glad to be someone that people can look up to and listen to. I’m glad that I can be able to change the situation and the scenery that’s going on around Chicago. I love my city still,” his statement read.
Chief Keef is not the only celebrity with legal troubles that David’s company has transported with its technology. While seeking refuge in London, WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange appeared at a business summit in September in Massachusetts via Hologram USA projection.
Separately, Hologram USA also beamed Jimmy Kimmel to Nashville, Tenn., in November for the Country Music Association awards.
This type of technology became popular when it displayed a performance by late rapper Tupac Shakur at the 2012 Coachella music festival.
