Chief Keef May Be Dating Bhad Bhabie (Who's Only 16) — Why His Baby Mama's Pissed
This is an interesting development, to say the least!
Getty Images Danielle Bregoli — known to the world, today, as Bhad Bhabie — has been in the spotlight from the day she first appeared on The Dr. Phil Show and uttered her infamous catchphrase, "Cash me outside — how bow dat!" Yet, hard as it may be to believe, she is still, legally speaking, a minor — so it's really illegal for her to be dating someone who is a legal adult, especially when she's nowhere near that age.
But that's exactly what's allegedly going on between Bhabie and Chicago rapper Chief Keef, who is nothing if not controversial, himself.
Keef, whose real name is Keith Cozart, is credited with being one of the forefathers of the so-called "drill" style of hip hop, but also has a series of legal problems that range from heroin possession, manufacture, and distribution, to allegedly being involved in the murder of a rival rapper.
So are Bhad Bhabie and Chief Keef dating? Here's what we know about the rumors.
1. Are Bhad Bhabie and Chief Keef dating? Keef's baby mama says they are.
Chief Keef has a daughter named Kayden, who is 8 years old (and, for the record, only 8 years younger than Bhad Bhabie), with a baby mama whose name has not been released to the public (and she's only known by "Jabbi" on her Instagram page).
According to Jabbi's Instagram stories (which were screenshot and shared by The Shade Room, which you can see below), Keef promised to take Kayden out for the weekend but ultimately stood her up to hang out with Bhad Bhabie — and she's pissed about it.
When the blogs got a hold of this information, they ran with it, and now rumors have spread like wildfire that the very adult Chief Keef and the very much a minor Bhad Bhabie, 16, are a thing.
2. Bhad Bhabie was rumored to be dating other rappers ... and even a pop star.
Despite the fact that she's still very much a minor, Bhad Bhabie has been rumored to be dating other rappers in the past, as well. For a time, she was linked to Youngboy NBA (man, he gets around...) and indie rapper Lil Gotit. She was even rumored to be dating recent Grammy winner Billie Eilish, though they both quickly debunked those dating rumors.
3. Chief Keef has a lot of baby mama drama.
If there's someone who has more baby mama drama than you can shake a proverbial stick at, it's Chief Keef. In addition to this recent drama he has with his first baby mama, it was revealed that he has a second daughter, for which he pays more than $2,500 a month for in child support. He also has a son that he shows off on his social media, and he's reportedly the father of another daughter with yet another woman.
4. Bhad Bhabie got a tattoo for Youngboy NBA, then backtracked on it.
Not long after the rumors of Bhad Bhabie dating Youngboy NBA started surfacing, she got a tattoo featuring his "real name" on her body.
When fans started dragging her for filth about it, she responded by saying, "This is my body. These are my tattoos. I do my own shit for my own reasons. Y'all don't know behind the scenes. Stop telling me he now has a girlfriend. I did not get this tattoo to be with him or because I'm with him. Like, c'mon, Stop. Seriously. Stop the bull****. Stop. Y'all sound crazy."
5. Chief Keef was also rumored to be dating ... Selena Gomez?
Around the same time that Gomez was rumored to be boo'ed up with the DJ Zedd, rumors started swirling that she and Chief Keef were an item, as well. However, despite the fact that Gomez reportedly posted and deleted a photo of her and Chief Keef together, nothing ever really seemed to come of those rumors, and they disappeared almost as quickly as they started.
6. Neither Chief Keef nor Bhad Bhabie have commented on the rumors.
As of this writing, neither Chief Keef nor Bhad Bhabie have commented on the rumors about their dating. However, we will definitely keep you posted if — and when — that changes. We have no doubt that it's just a matter of time before Bhad Bhabie takes to her social media pages to talk about this very thing.
