Thursday, controversial Chicago rapper Chief Keef, whose legal name is Keith Cozart, announced he named his newborn son after his record label.
According to a statement from the CEO of FilmOn Records, this was done in an effort to promote his latest album.
“Chief Keef and his newest baby mama have agreed to name the newborn Sno FilmOn Dot Com Cozart in order to promote the release of Sosa’s double album Bang 3 with FilmOn Music and MondoTunes on September 18,” Alki David said.
However, ABC7 Chicago reports that later the same day, David released an updated statement due to a paternity dispute that occurred between Chief Keef and the child’s mother.
“In light of new developments disputing that Chief Keef is the father of Baby Sno, the streaming TV and music platform FilmOn.com is retracting the right to let the mother, Lauren Woods, use the middle name FilmOn Dot Com until paternity is settled. We wish Ms. Woods all the best,” David said in the written correspondence.
