Chief Keef was scheduled to perform this Saturday at Cicero’s Olympic Theatre, but it appears that there’s been a change of plans. The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Cicero police and the director of the theatre have cancelled Keef’s headlining performance amid security concerns.
A concert starring controversial rapper Chief Keef scheduled to take place this weekend in Cicero has been canceled amid security concerns, police said.
The concert was still being advertised on the website for the Olympic Theater Wednesday but ticket sales were halted. Calls to the owner of the theater were not immediately returned.
Cicero Police Supt. Bernard Harrison said the Saturday night concert at the theater has been canceled because authorities fear Chief Keef’s presence could cause chaos and violence.
“We have indications from intelligence sources that there were going to be problems and there have been many problems at his concerts in other places,” Harrison said this morning. “I spoke to the director of the theater myself and asked if he could cancel the concert. He complied with my request.”

Update: It appears the concert has been moved to King of Diamonds in Harvey.
