After serving two months in a Chicago juvenile detention center, Chief Keef was freed yesterday. The scene was documented by Dib Entertainment.
Keef was greeted by his Glory Boyz Entertainment crew, family members and his young daughter.
It appears that Keef used his timed locked away to write a lot of new music. A police officer handed a bag of notebooks filled with lyrics to one of his team members before he left the facility.
Almost immediately after getting out of jail police were concerned about a posting on Keef's Facebook wall taunting a deceased Gangster Disciples member.
“F*ck a TOOKA gang!!! BITCH IM 3 Hunna," Keef wrote, according to the Chicago Sun Times.
Tooka was the nickname of Shondale Gregory, a 15-year-old shot to death at a bus stop at 63rd and St. Lawrence on Jan. 12, 2011 in the Woodlawn neighborhood on the South Side.
“He’s heating things up before he’s even out,” one police source said.
Keef is reportedly affiliated with the Black Disciples.
Will Keef be able to stay out of trouble?

Old Man Ebro of Hot 97 decided to drop the realness this morning about girls on social media by revealing the top 5 lies they tell. Of course, men lie too and hopefully there's a part 2 to this, but today was all about the ladies.
According to Ebro, women lie once a month on social media platforms like Facebook. Lets check out the top 5 list below.
5. They lie about their relationship status
4. They lie about their job.
3. They lie about what they're doing or did on vacation.
2. They lie about how much alcohol they drink
1. They say they are doing something when they are actually at home by themselves.
I don't think K. Foxx agreed with the list at all. She handled it it like a champ though.
What do you think of Ebro's list?

Lil Wayne was hospitalized in Los Angeles this week after suffering multiple seizures according to TMZ.
The Young Money CEO became ill Tuesday night after shooting a music video. He was taken to Cedars-Sinai hospital, where he was treated and released on Wednesday.
This is the third third time the rapper has dealt with seizures. He suffered two of them on board separate airplanes last October and had to be hospitalized.
Wayne told MTV during a November interview that he was taking anti-seizure medication
"Please let them know that I have an air unit, but because of the sound, they don't want the air on, so it's super hot in here," He said at the time, "I don't want y'all to think I'm on nothing, man. I'm on seizure medicine, man, that's all. They said I gotta drink four water bottles a day, that's what the doctors say. I just came from the doctor. I ain't drinking four water bottles, but everything's good."
After this latest health scare the rapper is reportedly doing much better now following a couple of days rest..
We wish Wayne a speedy recovery.

Doug E. Fresh's talented sons Trips and Droptop Slim, together known as Square Off are preparing to release their latest project titled The Preface on April 2nd.
For the latest leak off of the project they recruit Houston rapper Killa Kyleon for "110 Street."
Cynthia Wachenheim and her husband Hal Bacharach in happier times.
Cynthia Wachenheim, 44, who left a suicide note castigating herself for being a bad mother, landed on her back after taking the fatal plunge. Baby Keston was in a harness. He bounced off his mom on impact and then rolled away from her motionless arms.
“I heard a small scream when she was in the air,” said witness Steven Dominguez, 18. “I noticed something falling, but I didn’t want to believe it was a person.”
Dominguez, who teared up as he spoke, said the landing made a horrifying sound.
“It was a loud bang,” he said outside the woman’s building on Bradhurst Ave. near W. 147th St. “It sounded like a big piece of wood hitting the floor.”
“When I got closer, I saw the baby crying,” he said.
Cynthia Wachenheim and her 10-month-old son Keston plummeted eight stories from a Harlem building near W. 147th St.
Sources said Wachenheim left a rambling 13-page, handwritten suicide note on small pages of notebook paper.
“The note said she was not happy and she talked about what she planned to do,” a source said. In the note, Wachenheim is “saying to her husband, ‘I love you. I’m making you suffer. You’re going to think I’m evil,’” a source said.
“She thinks she’s a failing mother. On the last page, she refers to postpartum depression. She was supposed to see a therapist, but she blew him off.
“As the note goes on, you get the idea she’s explaining why she’s going to do it,” the source added.
The note, which mentions little Keston having a physical handicap, was unsigned — but cops compared it to handwriting samples and determined that it was written by Wachenheim, the source said.
Wachenheim died, but her son Keston survived with minor injuries. He was in stable condition at Harlem Hospital.
Wachenheim’s husband, Hal Bacharach, 48, was at work when his wife jumped, the source said. He was spotted on surveillance video leaving the upscale building at 12:55 p.m., less than three hours before the leap. Neighbors said he stormed out of their two-bedroom condo after a loud argument. Shouting echoed through the halls.
“He was yelling at her today,” said Christian Johnson, 37. “It made me stop and listen. He was asking her why she wouldn’t pick up the phone. He kept repeating it. Then, the baby started crying.”
A police source said Wachenheim was taking antidepressants and that pills were found in the apartment.
A different police source said Wednesday was the first time police were ever called to the apartment. The couple had lived at The Sutton — where similar apartments run about $325,000 — for about three years.
Wachenheim, a high school valedictorian in Albany and a Columbia Law grad, was on maternity leave from her $118,000-a-year job in the city court system. She worked there for more than 15 years doing research and writing for judges.
Wachenheim, whose lifeless body lay on the street covered with a whire sheet, wrote a 13-page suicide note where she talked about not being happy and what she planned to do, a source said. She also said in the note to her husband that she loved him and was making him 'suffer.'
“We are deeply saddened by this tragic incident,” said David Bookstaver, spokesman for the city’s Office of Court Administration. “Our thoughts are with her family.”
Two NYPD narcotics detectives were parking a car nearby and were the first to respond after they saw the tragic fall.
Cops took the boy, who appeared to only have scratches and minor injuries, to Harlem Hospital. He was listed in stable condition and was expected to survive. A source said he underwent a CT scan.
Neighbors were shocked that Wachenheim, who officials said worked as an associate court attorney with the New York County Law Office, took her only child with her in the fatal leap.
“She was very friendly,” said Yaa Dwamena, 32. “She always greeted you when you came in and out of the building. She didn’t seem like she was going through anything.”
Neighbor Christian Johnson said he heard Wachenheim and her husband, Hal Bacharach, yelling at each other, but didn’t think it was anything more than a typical squabble until he saw Wachenheim dead.
“She was always holding him in her arms,” the worker said. “She was always with the baby. She loved that baby.”
Johnson, who has known the couple since they moved into the building, said he never saw signs of trouble.
“I saw her a little while ago,” he said. “She seemed stressed out — but what mother of a 10-month-old isn’t stressed out?”
Johnson also thought that Wednesday’s argument was just a typical squabble between parents, until he saw Wachenheim’s body on the sidewalk.
“I saw her on the ground and I lost it,” Johnson said.

Pics After The Jump
It's very rare to catch Nicki Minaj without her signature pink lipstick and long eyelashes. The Young Money star decided to go for a more natural look in her new photo shoot for the April issue of Elle magazine, which goes on sale on March 18th.
Check out an excerpt from Nicki's cover story with James Patrick Herman for the publication and her photo shoot with Thomas Whiteside below.
On her dramatic make-under for her ELLE photo shoot: "When I saw myself with barely any makeup at, it was such a… like, I'm so, so attached to my pink lipstick, it's hard. I feel that it's become a part of me. To go in front of the camera, without pink lips or big ol' crazy lashes— you know, nothing— I felt naked. It was scary! So this photo shoot was a real accomplishment in my eyes."
On experiencing bullying in school as a child: "I went through a lot of bullying early on. Girls made my life a living hell. We had come to America from a different country. My brother and I had accents. It was very tough. So I've always put up this wall— it was a self-defense mechanism growing up— because I was almost expecting people to attack me. And I still have it. It's sad."
Her advice for women on how to command respect: "My advice to women in general: Even if you're doing a nine-to-five job, treat yourself like a boss. Not arrogant, but be sure of what you want— and don't allow people to run anything for you without your knowledge. You want everyone to know, Okay, I can't play games with her. I have to do right by this woman. That's what it's all about."
On her plans for world domination: "My goal in the beginning was to buy my mother a house. Now I realize, Okay, if I really focus and become a key player in business, then I can build an empire. I'm thinking of a legacy that I can be proud of and wealth that my grandchildren can use to go to college. So world domination— in terms of providing for my family— is absolutely my goal."
