Keith Farrelle Cozart (born August 15, 1995),Шаблон:Sfn better known by his stage name Chief Keef, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Born and raised in Chicago's South Side, he began his recording career as a teenager and first garnered regional attention and praise for his mixtapes in the early 2010s.[1] His first local hit, "I Don't Like" (featuring Lil Reese) was released in March 2012 and soon became his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, spawning a remixed version from high-profile hometown native Kanye West.[1]

A bidding war between major labels resulted in Cozart signing with Interscope Records. A follow-up single, "Love Sosa" found similar success as he released his debut studio album, Finally Rich in December of that year to moderate success. His recordings from this point and onward would become credited with popularizing the hip hop subgenre drill for a mainstream audience, with Cozart often named as a progenitor for the genre.[2][3][4]

Cozart has faced extensive, ongoing legal troubles throughout his career, including weapons possession charges, house arrest sentences, and a performance ban imposed by Chicago authorities.[5] Despite parting ways with Interscope in late 2014, he continued self-releasing projects through his own Glo Gang label, including Nobody (2014), Back from the Dead 2 (2014), and Bang 3 (2015). In 2020 and 2023 respectively, Cozart would reach his furthest chart success with his guest appearances on "Bean (Kobe)" by Lil Uzi Vert and "All the Parties" by Drake.[6][2]

Life and career

Early life (1995–2010)

Chief Keef was born Keith Farrelle Cozart[7] in Chicago, Illinois, on August 15, 1995, to Lolita Carter who was 15 and unwed.

In 2011, Chief Keef first attracted local attention from Chicago's South Side community with his mixtapes, The Glory Road and Bang.Шаблон:Sfn In December, he was arrested for firing a gun from his car in Chicago's Washington Park neighborhood; he was placed under house arrest at his grandmother's residence for 30 days, followed by another 30 days of home confinement.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn While under house arrest, he posted several videos to his YouTube account,Шаблон:Sfn forerunners to Chicago's hip hop subgenre, drill.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Keef's song "I Don't Like" became a hit in Chicago. A local party promoter called it "the perfect Chicago song because 'niggas just hate everything out here'".Шаблон:Sfn It caught Kanye West's attention, and he remixed the song with rappers Pusha T, Jadakiss and Big Sean.Шаблон:Sfn As a result, Keef "suddenly shot up out of obscurity".Шаблон:Sfn

In the summer of 2012, Chief Keef was the subject of a bidding war among record labels wishing to sign him, including Young Jeezy's CTE World.Шаблон:Sfn While 2012 proved to be a relatively quiet year in terms of his musical output, Chief Keef began the year by signing with Interscope Records. In a separate deal, he was promised his own label imprint, Glory Boyz Entertainment (GBE).Шаблон:Sfn The deal was worth $6,000,000 over a three album layout, with an additional $440,000 advance to establish GBE.Шаблон:Sfn

The deal gave Interscope the right to pull out of the contract if Chief Keef's debut album Finally Rich, released on December 18, 2012,Шаблон:Sfn had failed to sell 250,000 copies by December 2013.Шаблон:Sfn Featured guests on the album include rappers: 50 Cent, Wiz Khalifa, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross and his fellow Glory Boyz member Lil Reese.Шаблон:Sfn In May 2013 he signed with 1017 Brick Squad Records.Шаблон:Sfn

Chief Keef is featured on "Hold My Liquor", the fifth track on Kanye West's album, Yeezus, released on June 18, 2013.Шаблон:Sfn Keef's contributions to the track were praised by musician Lou Reed who said, "'Hold My Liquor' is just heartbreaking, and particularly coming from where it's coming from – listen to that incredibly poignant hook from a tough guy like Chief Keef, wow."Шаблон:Sfn

On his 18th birthday, August 15, 2013, Chief Keef celebrated by releasing the mixtape Bang, Pt. 2.Шаблон:Sfn It was highly anticipated as the first project following his debut album, but received a mixed to negative critical response.Шаблон:Sfn On October 12, 2013, another mixtape, Almighty Sosa, was released.Шаблон:Sfn Like Bang, Pt. 2, Almighty So also received mixed to negative critical reviews.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn After serving his October 2013 jail term (see § Legal issues), he began working on his second studio album and a biopic.Шаблон:Sfn

Nobody and Bang 3 (2014–2016)

Chief Keef began experimenting with producing his music in 2014. Meaghan Garvey of The Fader noted this was fitting as the rapper has "always been more concerned with vibe than meaning, and production is his most efficient tool to create a mood without getting bogged down by pesky syntax."Шаблон:Sfn In January, Chief Keef announced he was working on a new mixtape entitled Bang 3.Шаблон:Sfn In February, he unveiled the cover art to his upcoming mixtape Back From The Dead 2 the sequel to his critically acclaimed mixtape, Back From The Dead.Шаблон:Sfn During February, Chief Keef said his former lean addiction and bad mixing contributed to the lack of quality music on his two mixtape projects Bang Pt. 2 and Almighty So and that he was disappointed in both projects.Шаблон:Sfn

Later in February 2014, he announced an EP before his second studio album Bang 3, entitled Bang 4, as a preview.Шаблон:Sfn The following day, Fredo Santana announced he and Chief Keef were going to release an album collaboration.Шаблон:Sfn In March, Keef released the first official single from Bang 3 entitled "Fuck Rehab" featuring his fellow Glo Gang artist and cousin Mario "Blood Money" Hess. This marked Hess's final recording before his death on April 9, 2014.Шаблон:Sfn On March 14 Chief Keef released the official music video for "Fuck Rehab".Шаблон:Sfn Although Interscope executive Larry Jackson announced that Bang 3 would be released on June 10, it was delayed again.Шаблон:Sfn

In October 2014, Chief Keef was dropped by Interscope Records. He confirmed via Twitter that every project he had planned, including the release of the long-awaited Bang 3, would still be released.Шаблон:Sfn Young Chop criticized Interscope's decision to drop Chief Keef.Шаблон:Sfn Despite being set for a December 2014 release, Bang 3 did not materialize.Шаблон:Sfn Chief Keef's mixtapes, Mansion Musick set for a November 28 release, and Thot Breakers set to release on February 14, 2015, were not released as announced.Шаблон:Sfn However, he was successful in releasing Big Gucci Sosa, a 12-track collaborative mixtape, with Gucci Mane,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn as well as Back From the Dead 2, which was made available for digital download from iTunes.Шаблон:Sfn

Chief Keef self-produced 16 of the 20 songs on the mixtape.Шаблон:Sfn David Drake of Pitchfork Media said, "For his first steps into the rapper-producer territory, he shows promise—though it's tough to imagine most of these beats working outside the context of a Chief Keef album, as they are primed to frame his vocals."Шаблон:Sfn Rolling Stone ranked the mixtape 25th on its list of the 40 best rap albums of 2014 commenting, "The bleak world from which he came still shapes his sound; it's a bleak and lonely record, with few guests and a darkly psychedelic shape formed by drugs and likely PTSD. Yet he finds a gleeful humanity inside the world's rotten core, with bluntly potent, economical rapping that gets strong mileage per word."Шаблон:Sfn

In November, he announced Nobody, a "Glo Producer album" that featured guest vocals by Kanye West and Tadoe.Шаблон:Sfn It was set to be released on December 2,Шаблон:Sfn but appeared on December 16.Шаблон:Sfn The album's title track was noted for being one of Keef's more emotionally driven tracks.Шаблон:Sfn Chris Coplan of Consequence of Sound wrote "the track itself feels like the apex of a night spent binge-drinking."Шаблон:Sfn The album was awarded a 7.0/10 score by Pitchfork MediaШаблон:'s Meaghan Garvey.Шаблон:Sfn

On February 18, 2015, Chief Keef released Sorry 4 the Weight, a 20-track mixtape.Шаблон:Sfn Elliott Pearson of The Alibi commented: "Sorry 4 the Weight is another consistent chapter in the rapper's singular Midwestern gothic repertoire, and if 'What Up' is any indication, he's made serious progress as a beat-maker too."Шаблон:Sfn The mixtape was largely a solo effort, featuring only Andy Milonakis and Glo Gang labelmate, Benji Glo.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In 2015, his track "Faneto" was slowly building momentum since its October 2014 release.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn On April 24, 2015, Chief Keef announced his next album, titled The Cozart, saying it would be released soon.Шаблон:Sfn In 2015, he signed with FilmOn Music, a record label owned by Greek billionaire Alki David in 2015.Шаблон:Sfn Keef later named his son Sno FilmOn Dot Com Cozart to promoteBang 3, but the label retracted their naming rights to his son.Шаблон:Sfn

On July 11, 2015, Marvin Carr, better known by his stage name Capo, a longtime member of Chief Keef's Glo Gang label, was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting in Chicago.Шаблон:Sfn After killing Capo, the driver of the vehicle reportedly struck a stroller holding 13-month-old Dillan Harris killing him instantly. Chief Keef announced on Twitter he would be holding a free benefit concert as a tribute to Capo and encouraged concertgoers to donate to the Harris family. He also announced the formation of the Stop the Violence Now Foundation, in an attempt to decrease crime in Chicago.Шаблон:Sfn Because of outstanding warrants in Illinois, Keef was scheduled to attend the concert via hologram from a sound stage in Beverly Hills.Шаблон:Sfn

The concert, organized by HologramUSA and FilmOn Music, was planned to be held in Chicago's Redmoon Theater.Шаблон:Sfn It faced a series of delays after Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel's office claimed Chief Keef was "an unacceptable role model" and that his music promoted violence.Шаблон:Sfn Chief Keef's representatives then worked out an arrangement with promoters of Craze Fest in Hammond, Indiana, to hold the concert there. Local police stopped Keef from performing again.Шаблон:Sfn Chief Keef's hologram made a plea for peace in Chicago saying, "Stop the violence, stop nonsense, stop the killing. Let the kids grow up", before performing "I Don't Like".Шаблон:Sfn Fearing the concert was a threat to public safety, Hammond mayor Thomas McDermott, Jr. had the city's police department shut down the generators powering Chief Keef's hologram. McDermott was quoted as saying, "I know nothing about Chief Keef. All I'd heard was he has a lot of songs about gangs and shooting people — a history that's anti-cop, pro-gang and pro-drug use. He's been basically outlawed in Chicago, and we're not going to let [him] circumvent Mayor Emanuel by going next door."Шаблон:Sfn Chicago Tribune columnist Eric Zorn criticized Emmanuel and Hammond for their decisions, claiming they infringed upon Chief Keef's First Amendment rights.Шаблон:Sfn

In November, Keef's contract with FilmOn was suspended over management issues.Шаблон:Sfn The following month, FilmOn sued Keef's management team and producers for the unauthorized release of music.Шаблон:Sfn

Dedication, Glotoven and Almighty So 2 (2016–present)

In March 2016, Chief Keef tweeted that he was retiring from rapping. The announcement came as his recorded output was slowing down.Шаблон:Sfn However, later in the year he was featured on MGK's song, "Young Man".Шаблон:Sfn He also released a 17-track mixtape Two Zero One Seven in January 2017.[9] Chief Keef joined a long line of rappers, including Jay Z, Lupe Fiasco, Nicki Minaj and others, who claimed to have retired only to return to making music.[10]

Chief Keef released four mixtapes in the lead up to releasing his third album, Dedication, on December 1, 2017.[11][12] The Guardian called Dedication his "most satisfying album to date".[13]

In 2018, Chief Keef was able to drop more mixtapes, such as Mansion Musick and Back from the Dead 3 and more mixtapes in The Leek series. He also did more features for musicians such as Playboi Carti, Soulja Boy, and G Herbo.[14][15]

In early 2019, Chief Keef and Zaytoven worked together in the studio. Chief Keef later confirmed they were making a collaborative mixtape called Glotoven. It was released on March 15, 2019, and was supported by the single "Spy Kid".[16] On April 20, 2019, Chief Keef revealed he had another mixtape planned, dubbed Almighty So 2. He then released a song with Youngboy Never Broke Again called "Fireman". The mixtape is also scheduled to have features from Lil Uzi Vert, Soulja Boy and Lil Reese, among others. Chief Keef also released another single titled "Boost".[17]

In March 2020, Chief Keef earned his first major production credit on Lil Uzi Vert's second studio album, Eternal Atake, with the song "Chrome Heart Tags".[18] Chief Keef was later featured on Uzi's album Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World 2 with a vocal performance on the song "Bean (Kobe)", which became his highest-charting song on the Hot 100 at number 19.[19]

At the age of 16, Chief Keef had his first child, a daughter.Шаблон:Sfn In November 2013, DNA documents revealed that he had fathered a 10-month-old daughter to a woman two decades older than him.[21] Chief Keef was subsequently ordered to begin paying child support to her mother.Шаблон:Sfn In September 2014, Chief Keef announced the birth of his third child, and his first son.Шаблон:Sfn

In May 2015, he was sued by another woman who claimed he is the father of her child.Шаблон:Sfn Since he had failed to respond to the legal documents with which he was served, he was ordered to appear in court. After failing to do so, a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.Шаблон:Sfn Despite these issues, LA Weekly reported that at least on Instagram Chief Keef "appears to take fatherhood seriously."Шаблон:Sfn

In August 2015, he caused a controversy after naming his newborn son Sno "FilmOn Dot Com", inspired by his record label, FilmOn Music, to promote his album Bang 3.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Following a dispute over the child's paternity, FilmOn Music retracted the name until the matter is settled.Шаблон:Sfn

Once acquainted, da Butcher began working on paintings personally meant for Chief Keef.Шаблон:Sfn He believed that his move to Los Angeles benefited him; in an interview with Billboard, he said: "I got away from all the unnecessary trouble. It's better out here [in L.A.] than in Chicago, because I got in so much trouble. I like living out here. I think it improved me. It changed me, and [inspired] me to go somewhere bigger."Шаблон:Sfn

Legal issues

On January 27, 2011, Chief Keef was apprehended on charges of heroin manufacture and distribution.Шаблон:Sfn As a juvenile offender, he was determined to be a "delinquent", rather than guilty of his charges, and served time under house arrest.Шаблон:Sfn In December 2011, he left his grandmother's home holding a coat over his hands in front of his waistband. A policeman stopped to question the rapper. He dropped the coat, flashed a handgun and ran away.Шаблон:Sfn

Officers chased the then-16-year-old Chief Keef, who turned around several times and pointed the gun at them. The policemen "discharged their weapons" but missed. They caught him and recovered the loaded pistol. Chief Keef was charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a firearm on a police officer and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. He was also given a misdemeanor charge for resisting arrest. He was held in the Cook County Juvenile Detention Center for four weeks until a judge sentenced him to house arrest at his grandmother's house.Шаблон:Sfn

On September 5, 2012, Chicago Police stated Chief Keef was being investigated for a possible connection to the shooting death of fellow rapper and Englewood resident, Joseph Coleman, who performed under the stage name "Lil JoJo".Шаблон:Sfn This began after Chief Keef had mocked his death on Twitter,Шаблон:Sfn which he later claimed was the result of his account being hacked.Шаблон:Sfn Coleman's mother has openly maintained Chief Keef paid to have her son killed.Шаблон:Sfn

Cook County prosecutors asked a judge to remand him to juvenile detention for alleged parole violations on October 17, 2012. This was in response to a video interview he held at a shooting range which included footage of him discharging a firearm. A hearing was set for November 20, 2012, which was subsequently delayed and moved up to January 15, 2013.Шаблон:Sfn The court ordered Pitchfork Media, which had posted the now removed video, to provide the interview's footage.Шаблон:Sfn

On December 31, 2012, Chief Keef was issued a judicial summons for a new and unrelated alleged parole violation. Prosecutors claimed he failed to notify his juvenile parole officer of a change of address. A hearing was set for January 2, 2013.Шаблон:Sfn Although prosecutors requested that he be jailed, Cook County judge Carl Anthony Walker allowed him to remain free, saying he had not been presented with "any credible evidence" to warrant incarceration.Шаблон:Sfn

Chief Keef was taken into custody on January 15, 2013, after a juvenile court judge ruled that the gun range interview video constituted a probation violation. Two days later, he was sentenced to two months in a juvenile detention facility and was made a ward of the state.Шаблон:Sfn He was released on March 14, 2013.Шаблон:Sfn On January 17, 2013, Chief Keef was sued by Washington, D.C.-based promotion company Team Major for $75,000 for a missed show. According to the firm, he was supposed to perform at The O2 Arena in London on December 29, 2012. He never showed up and neither he nor his label has explained why he missed the date.Шаблон:Sfn

He ignored the lawsuit, and the court ordered him to pay $230,019 damages to Team Major by default.Шаблон:Sfn He was arrested in an upscale hotel in DeKalb County, Georgia, for smoking marijuana in public and for disorderly conduct on May 20, 2013.Шаблон:Sfn He was released later in the day.Шаблон:Sfn Eight days later, Chief Keef was arrested for driving 110 mph in a 55 mph zone in his hometown of Chicago, and for driving with an unlawful number of passengers. He was later released on bond.Шаблон:Sfn

He returned to court on June 17 and pleaded guilty to speeding. He was ordered to pay a $531 fine, serve 18 months of probation, complete 60 hours of community service and undergo random drug tests.Шаблон:Sfn On October 15, 2013, Keef returned to jail for a 20-day sentence for a probation violation after testing positive for marijuana.Шаблон:Sfn On October 24, 2013, he was released early for good behavior.Шаблон:Sfn However, on November 6, 2013, Chief Keef was jailed on another probation violation.Шаблон:Sfn

The suit alleges that Kim Productions provided him with a $15,000 deposit for the performance. The lawsuit also alleges that as a result of his failure to appear, the concert had to be cancelled.Шаблон:Sfn

In June 2014, Chief Keef was evicted from his Highland Park home.Шаблон:Sfn Although Bal Bansal, the owner of the house, maintained he was a good tenant and that his departure from the home was voluntary, police confirmed it was an eviction.Шаблон:Sfn

In January 2017, Chief Keef was arrested for allegedly beating up and robbing a producer by the name of Ramsay Tha Great. He claimed that Chief Keef stole his Rolex watch and pointed firearms at him.

Шаблон:Listen Chief Keef is often seen as a representation of the "Chiraq" gangsta rap culture that is present in Chicago.Шаблон:Sfn He often refers to himself as "Sosa" as do his peers and the media.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The nickname "Sosa" is a reference to Alejandro Sosa, the drug kingpin in the movie Scarface.Шаблон:Sfn LA Weekly reported that Chief Keef's Glo Gang entourage respects the rapper. One member of the Glo Gang, Ballout, stated, "We learned all that from Sosa, we be in the studio with him so much", calling him, "a rhyming machine. A music genius. Black Justin Bieber, if you ask me."Шаблон:Sfn

The New York Times stated that Chief Keef "symbolizes" Chicago's drill music scene and is the "best known of the young generation of Chicago rappers."Шаблон:Sfn In November 2012, Lucy Stehlik of The Guardian described Chief Keef as drill's "alpha male".Шаблон:Sfn David Drake of Pitchfork Media wrote, "Chief Keef is in rarefied air for street rap—a creative voice with an original, cohesive aesthetic", adding, "to the grassroots, among a new generation of stars, he sits at street rap's aesthetic center, not its margins."Шаблон:Sfn

Chief Keef has drawn comparisons to 50 Cent (pictured).

A New York Times article compared Chief Keef to 50 Cent, noting that, like him, Chief Keef makes thuggery, "a major part of his early-career persona."Шаблон:Sfn Lupe Fiasco, who has been involved in a controversy with him, has been referred to as an "antagonist" to Chief Keef's more gangsta-rap persona. The New York Times writes, "Lupe Fiasco is a stern and didactic teacher, but it's arguable that Chief Keef's music is far better at ringing warning bells."Шаблон:Sfn Another rapper, Common, has praised his contributions to rap saying, "I think Chief Keef brought something that nobody else was doing and he brought it raw. He brought it real. With that, I have to respect that as an artist that he has come and brought that."Шаблон:Sfn

Other rappers, such as Rhymefest and Lupe Fiasco, however, have been critical of Chief Keef.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In June 2012, Rhymefest authored a blog post critical of his image and message, describing him as a "bomb" and a "spokesman for the Prison Industrial Complex". The post was also critical of rappers Waka Flocka Flame and Rick Ross, citing similar issues.Шаблон:Sfn Rhymefest reiterated these views in a subsequent interview with Salon.Шаблон:Sfn Lupe Fiasco's criticisms of Keef touched off a feud between the two.

Influence

Many publications have referred to Chief Keef as a highly influential figure in contemporary hip-hop, for both his musical style and gangster image. His melodic style of rapping and his characteristically slurred delivery of lyrics has been called the catalyst for the success of Chicago drill and Mumble rap, and an influence on a large number of modern artists especially such as: 21 Savage, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, Lil Pump, XXXTentacion, Ski Mask The Slump God, Trippie Redd, Juice Wrld, Polo G, and Tay-K among the others, even pop artists like Doja Cat and Billie Eilish. Additionally, Chief Keef's heavy use of adlibs, specifically the word "aye" as a large part of a song was a major influence on the Soundcloud rap subgenre and the artists that emerged from it.[6][2][3]

In 2023, boxer Gervonta Davis walked out with Chief Keef to his song "Love Sosa' for his fight against Ryan Garcia.[24]

Chief Keef is credited with popularizing the phrase "glow up".[25][26] Chief Keef is also credited with popularizing the phrase "smoking [opps]", although the lyrical origin of the phrase is attributed to fellow Chicago drill pioneer and associate of Keef, RondoNumbaNine, in the 2013 song, "Hang Wit Me".[27]

Controversies

Hip hop feuds

In an August 2012 interview with Baltimore radio station 92Q Jams (WERQ-FM), Lupe Fiasco stated that Chief Keef "scares" him and described him as a "hoodlum" and a representative of Chicago's "skyrocketing" murder rate.Шаблон:Sfn A tweet from Chief Keef's account threatening Fiasco was posted on September 5.Шаблон:Sfn Chief Keef claimed that his account had been hacked and the tweet was not his.Шаблон:Sfn On September 13, 2012, Fiasco released a video interview in which he made amends to Chief Keef.Шаблон:Sfn

In November 2014, rap group Migos and Glo Gang member, Capo, were involved in a physical altercation in a Chicago restaurant.Шаблон:Sfn Later, Chief Keef uploaded an image onto Instagram featuring an alleged stolen chain belonging to rapper Quavo of Migos.Шаблон:Sfn Though this incident escalated the already existing tension between the two groups' members, the feud seemingly ended.Шаблон:Sfn

Chief Keef was involved in a feud with rapper 6ix9ine in May 2018. This stemmed from Tadoe's domestic abuse and relationship issues relating to fellow rapper Cuban Doll. She was in a relationship with Tadoe but also friendly with 6ix9ine.[28] 6ix9ine then dissed Chief Keef and rapper Lil Reese on social media posting a video of his semi-romantic vacation to Hawaii with Cuban Doll to Instagram,[29] and driving up to Chief Keef's old neighborhood and taunting him.[30] 6ix9ine also contacted Aereon Clark, known professionally as Slim Danger, the mother of one of Chief Keef's sons and recorded himself buying her designer clothes, verbally taunting Chief Keef and later receiving fellatio from her.[31][32]

On May 8, 2018, Trippie Redd previewed the song "I Kill People" on Instagram, featuring Chief Keef and Tadoe, which was aimed as a diss toward 6ix9ine and Cuban Doll.[33] On June 2, 2018, Chief Keef was fired upon outside the W Hotel in New York City. He was not hit and there were no injuries from the incident.[34] Due to the ongoing feud, 6ix9ine was confirmed to be under investigation by the New York Police Department for possible involvement in the incident despite being in Los Angeles at the time.[35][36][37][38] In February 2019, 6ix9ine pleaded guilty to ordering the shooting of Chief Keef. He had offered his associate Kintea "Kooda B" McKenzie $20,000 to shoot at Cozart. 6ix9ine was later found to be an informant for the U.S. Government helping to lock up Kooda B, and his manager Kifano "Shotti" Jordan.[39]

Instagram

On September 15, 2012, Chief Keef uploaded a photograph of him receiving fellatio from a female fan onto Instagram,Шаблон:Sfn which he removed shortly afterwards.Шаблон:Sfn However, his account was subsequently banned for violating Instagram's terms of service.Шаблон:Sfn He has since created another Instagram account, and has had his activities on the app mentioned by various outlets.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
