Chief Keef is back in a Chicago jail cell today after a judge sentenced him to 90 days of rehab associated with Cook County Department of Corrections, according to ABC Chicago.
The 18-year old rapper, real name Keith Cozart, was arrested in May for driving 110 mph in a 55 zone in Northfield, Illinois. As a condition of his release he was sentenced to 18-months probation, ordered to take random drug tests and paid a fine of $531.
On October 15 Keef was taken into custody again after testing positive for weed. He was sentenced to 20 days in jail. The "I Don't Like" rapper was released after serving 9 days.
His rehab sentence today also stems from that positive drug test. Keef tweeted that he was about to be sent to jail around 3 this afternoon.
He's due back in court April 3.

When XXL's latest cover featuring Black Hippy was unveiled last month the title read: "With Kendrick Lamar and Black Hippy."
That didn't sit well with Ab-Soul. As we previously reported he threatened to leave the group if media outlets continued to put Kendrick's name before the group's.
MTV caught up with the group's other two members, Schoolboy Q and Jay Rock, at Powerhouse 2013 over the weekend to get their take on the cover.
"That's so disrespectful," Schoolboy told MTV News. "We didn't go into that shoot saying 'this is Kendrick with Black Hippy.' We went in there and said, 'This is a Black Hippy shoot,' so we expect a Black Hippy shoot."
Schoolboy did acknowledge that Kendrick is currently the name people recognize the most.
"At the end of the day, I always say this too. Kendrick is way ahead of us. He's a platinum artist," Q continued. "I haven't dropped my album yet, [Jay] Rock's working on his major-label album, Ab-Soul's working on his major-label album. We still haven't dropped our major-label albums, so at the same time, at the end of the day, he is f*cking Kendrick Lamar. Even though we're not signed to Kendrick, but he has that impact. It's all about proving yourself. But at the same time I'm not signed to Kendrick. Black Hippy is us four, not Kendrick Lamar with Black Hippy. It's four people, not three."
Jay Rock seemed to take everything in stride.
"It's Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock. Or you can say 'formerly known as Black Hippy," Rock joked. "Personally, I never take offense to that, because at the end of the day, whether it's just Kendrick's name or 'Q and Black Hippy,' or 'Ab-Soul Black Hippy' — that's us, still, because we're all in this sh*t together. Real people know it's not just Kendrick Lamar and then Black Hippy. At the end of the day, we're all family. And with Kendrick's success, he deserves everything he's getting right now because that dude worked hard to get to where he's at."

When Jay Z started his Roc Nation Sports agency in June, one of the first athletes he secured as a client was New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano. It was a major coup for the fledgling firm. It now looks like Jay is in hot water for giving Cano a $33,900 special edition Hublot watch he helped to design.
The watch was a gift for Cano's 31st birthday in October, but Major League Baseball Players Association rules prohibit agents from offering “any money, or any other thing of value” to help persuade a player to continue using their services.
Section 5(B)(5)(a) of the Players Association regulations states: "No Player Agent or Applicant shall provide, cause to be provided or promise to provide, any money or any other thing of value to any player, or any person related to or associated with such player, the purpose of which is to induce or encourage such player to use or continue to use any person's or firm's services as a Player Agent, Representative, or Draft Advisor.''
The MLBPA must first be notified in writing prior to any gift given to an existing client by an agent that exceeds $500.
ESPN reports that Jay Z is being investigated to see if he violated the union's regulations. The business mogul may be subject to unspecified discipline if it's determined that he's in violation.

Radio legend Troi Torain (STAR) always delivers hard-hitting objective truth. As a culture critic he is vicious, as a businessman he is relentless, as a luminary he is un-matched.
Considered a radio pioneer by many, STAR has set precedents on the urban landscape and was recently inducted into News One's "Top 20 Black Radio Jockeys Of All Time."
STAR & BUC WILD made the national stage on MTV (1999) but it was their radio show on New York's Hot 97 and Power 105 (2000 - 2006) that secured their place in Hip-Hop history.
Torain's resume includes The Source magazine, MTV Networks, Hot 97, Power 104.1, Power 105.1, Pulse 87, Hip-Hop Weekly magazine, Vladtv, Thisis50, 100.3 The Beat, shot97.com and VH1 (The Gossip Game).

Eminem has probably popped the top on an ice cold non-alcoholic beverage to celebrate the news that The Marshall Mathers LP 2 will claim the top spot on the Billboard 200 charts when final numbers are announced next week.
Billboard reports that based on early projections the album will move between 700,000 and 750,000 units it's first week in stores.
Those numbers are good enough to push MMLP2 past Drake's Nothing Was the Same (658,000), for the second biggest opening week sales of 2013. Justin Timberlake has this year's highest first week total. His disc The 20/20 Experience sold 968,000 it's debut week.
In other Eminem news, Duck Down Records, has released the full version of Eminem's remake of Black Moon's classic "I Got Cha Opin.' Peep that up top.
"Don't Front" featuring Buckshot is available when you purchase MMLP2 and Call of Duty: Ghosts together from select retailers before November 20.

What was supposed to be a celebration of the Boston Red Sox winning the world championship turned into a brutal brawl that left several people knocked out and others head stomped.
The fight started outside of a bar on Saturday, November 2, when a man punched another guy who was mouthing off to his friends. That sparked an all out melee.
By the time it was over 3 men were hospitalized and two had been arrested.
23-year old Liam Browne and 21-year old Kieran Boyle were arraigned Tuesday in Boston Municipal Court on assault and battery charges. Both men are accused of stomping on the heads of people who were already on the ground, according to CBS Boston.
Browne was released on $1000 cash bail. Boyle is still being held on $4000 cash bail. They are both due back in court in February. Police plan to use video of the brawl obtained by Barstools to find and arrest moire participants.
Watch the madness below.
