In his music Chief Keef is raw, unfiltered and straight to the point. His brash rap delivery is part of his musical appeal, but on Thursday (January 17) the 17-year old breakout star made a teary-eyed plea to a judge before he was sentenced to 60 days in juvenile detention for a probation violation. A big departure from the Keef we see in his music videoes.
"I am a very good-hearted person,” Keef said to Judge Carl Anthony with tears in his eyes, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. "I am sorry for anything that I have done wrong. ... Give me a chance."
On Tuesday, Judge Anthony ruled that Keef showed a "willful disregard" for the court when he appeared in a video holding a firearm while conducting an interview at a gun range with popular music site Pitchfork last June. Since the news broke his fans have taken to Twitter using the hashtag #FreeSosa in support of the rap star who dropped his debut album Finally Rich in December.
Keef’s probation stems from an incident last year where he pointed a gun at a police officer. Instead of letting his legal troubles get the best of him Chief Keef hit the big time when the amateurish video for his breakout single "I Don’t Like" hit the Internet in March 2012. The clip has since racked up over 20 million views and launched Keef into the forefront of rap with collaborations with Kanye West, Rick Ross and 50 Cent.
"With Chief Keef, it's unfortunate to hear that he's actually locked up," Fif told MTV News on Wednesday. "I feel bad, because I feel like I knew that was gonna happen. I knew what continues to happen afterwards if you let it spiral out of control."
Another Keef supporter Waka Flocka Flame, urged the public to support the troubled rap star rather than shun him.
"That Chief Keef situation; that just showed me how people can just disrespect you and accept you at the same time. That's a kid at the end of the day. I feel like that's me when I first started rapping, people judged me," Waka told MTV News today. "It's just that they judge you because they don't understand you. Instead of judging the kid and just bashing him down, why not reach an arm out and help him."

Chief Keef may sport a mean scowl in his music videos, but the teenage rapper was all smiles on Thursday when he was released from Cook County Juvenile Justice Center after completing a 60-day sentence for violating his probation.

The Finally Rich rapper, whose real name is Keith Cozart, was detained in January after a judge ruled that a June 2012 video interview where Keef was seen handling firearms in a gun range was a direct violation of his 18-month probation, which he was handed for pointing a gun at a police officer. About two dozen family and friends came to greet the rapper upon his release, according to The Chicago Tribune.

The scene was captured in a documentary-style video shot by DIB Entertainment. In it, members of Sosa's family and his Glory Boyz Entertainment rap crew assemble outside of the justice center taking pictures and exchanging pounds and hugs. Before Keef is released an officer comes out with a plastic bag filled with a number composition notebooks filled with song lyrics and hands to a member of the rapper's entourage.

When Chief Keef was finally released, he was first gifted with a red leather jacket to protect him from the Chicago cold and then immediately put his arms out, reached for his daughter and triumphantly lifted the toddler in the air before giving her a kiss.

On Thursday, Keef's team also released a video for "Now It's Over," a track from his upcoming Bang Pt.2 mixtape and it looks like the youngster may make an appearance at the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas at a Ray-Ban showcase on Saturday.
