Throwback to when Chief Keef’s grandma caught Sosa sagging and immediately told him to pull his pants up 😭👀 No matter how famous you are, apparently grandma’s rules are still grandma’s rules.
The viral moment dates back to June 2013, when a then-17-year-old Chief Keef was leaving a Chicago police station after being arrested. Cameras surrounded the young superstar as he walked outside — but his grandmother was more concerned about how low his pants were, yelling from behind him that he needed to pull them up because it looked ugly. And Sosa actually listened 😂 (HipHopWired)
The clip came during one of the craziest periods of Keef’s early career. Less than a year earlier, “I Don’t Like” had exploded nationally after Kanye West jumped on the remix, while Finally Rich introduced millions of listeners to records like “Love Sosa” and “Hate Bein’ Sober.” (The FADER)
His grandmother played a major role in that story too. Keef spent much of his childhood living with her, and some of his earliest music and videos were created while he was still based out of her Chicago home. (The FADER)
That’s what makes the footage hilarious all these years later: the world might’ve seen Chief Keef, teenage rap superstar and face of Chicago drill — but grandma still saw her grandson Keith walking around with his pants too low 😭😂
Could anybody else besides his grandma have gotten 17-year-old Chief Keef to pull his pants up THAT fast? 😭👀
