Remember back in October of 2014, when it was announced that Chief Keef had opened up a marijuana dispensary in Compton, CA? To be honest, we forgot about it, too. I chalked it up to something that looked good on paper, but never actually happened.
Well, it appears the Chief Keef Glo Shop was a real functioning business and earlier today two men were found murdered inside of it. Keef’s manager, Dro, denies that the rapper has any ties to the shop.
Says the Tribune:
Authorities have identified the two men found dead Wednesday night in a Compton medical marijuana shop that bears the name of rapper Chief Keef, although the rapper has denied ownership of the business.
Wolf Da Boss, a self-described artist whose real name is Marqese Tann, 36, and Terrence Brown, 53, were both found dead in the marijuana shop shortly before 7 p.m., said Lt. Steve Jauch of the Los Angeles County sheriff’s department.
The shop was known as the Chief Keef Glo Shop and named after the rapper Chief Keef, however his manager denied that he has any formal ties to the dispensary.
Chief Keef, whose real name is Keith Cozart, has never been to the shop on East Compton Boulevard, his manager, Rovaun Manuel, said Thursday.
“It’s not ours,” he said.
A fan opened the Chief Keef Glo Shop without notifying the rapper, who later learned it was opened as a shout-out to him, Manuel said.
“If it was ours, it would have a lot more class,” he said.
But according to the music website Complex, Chief Keef announced the shop’s opening last October on Instagram. Chief Keef did not reveal the location of the shop, but the exterior of the business, a single-story building painted green, resembled the same one involved in Wednesday’s shooting.
