Chief Keef wants y’all to stop telling him how influential he is. He knows! Speaking with Grammy.com for the release of his Almighty So 2 album, Sosa revealed he hears it everywhere.
“If I had 500 M’s every time [I heard that], I’d be Jeff Bezos,” Keef said. “The fuck? I think I’d probably be bigger. I would be more rich!
“I be hearing that a lot, though, man. I be tired of hearing that shit. I be like, ‘We know.’ Me, you, and God know that. It’s okay. Let people do what they do, man. I was a big fan of Gucci [Mane] and Lil Wayne. Still am. So if I got people who love me like that, shit, man.”
