The law's got no love for Sosa.
Rap artist Chief Keef née Keith Cozart was sentenced to 20 days in Cook County Jail on Tuesday morning after he tested positive for marijuana.
Cozart's violated probation from a previous speeding ticket he received this past May, according to Cook County Sheriff's office spokesperson Sophia Ansari, who spoke with the Chicago Tribune. 18-year-old Cozart put down $531 to settle the ticket, which he was given by police officers who stopped him while he was driving 110 mph in a 55 mph zone in a BMW on the Edens Expressway at Winnetka Road in his hometown of Chicago. As part of his 18 month-long probation, Cozart was ordered to undergo random drug tests.
The "Love Sosa" rapper hasn't been a stranger to legal issues, especially in the past few months.
In September, Cozart failed to pay child support, and was found to be in contempt of court as a result of it, the Chicago Tribune reported. He also missed a Sept. 5 child support-related court date. He's been scheduled to appear before a judge on Oct. 21, and if he misses this date, the court could issue a warrant for his arrest. Back in June, on the very day he pleaded guilty to speeding on the Expressway, Cozart was served papers on another paternity lawsuit. Officials also said that Cozart had trespassed at a residence he'd previously lived in South Side Chicago.
He was caught smoking pot at a hotel in Atlanta this past May, and was arrested in August 2012 for possession of marijuana in Miami Beach, Fla., after police caught him driving around in a red Ferrari convertible he allegedly pinched on his seventeenth birthday. When the police sergeant who pulled him over asked if he was holding a firearm, the rapper quickly answered, "I have weed in my right front pocket."
