Controversial rapper Chief Keef was barred from performing at Craze Fest in Hammond, Indiana—and the ban even extended to the artist's hologram, which was shut down after performing for about a minute on Saturday night. Hammond Mayor Thomas M. McDermott Jr. said he was trying to honor the wishes of Rahm Emanuel, mayor of nearby Chicago, who banned a previously proposed holographic performance by the rapper. "I know nothing about Chief Keef,” said McDermott. “All I’d heard was he has a lot of songs about gangs and shooting people—a history that’s anti-cop, pro-gang and pro-drug use. He’s been basically outlawed in Chicago, and we’re not going to let you circumvent Mayor Emanuel by going next door." (New York Times)
