It all seems to stem from interaction with Cuban Doll, 21.

Cuban Doll was dating Chief Keef's cousin and rapper Tadoe at the time she appeared in a video with Tekashi. While she only pops up and the end of the video, Tadoe didn't like seeing his woman alongside Tekashi. Doll alleged that Tadoe beat her after she appeared next to Tekashi from the hospital.

A video of Tekashi and the Glo Gang associate speaking on FaceTime surfaces. In the video, Tadoe tells Tekashi to lose Cuban Doll's number, threatening the rainbow-haired rapper with the warning, "I kill people." Fueling the argument further.

Who Shot Chief Keef?

Police believe the shooting may have been a result of the musician's feud with Brooklyn rapper 6ix9ine. After the shooting, TMZ caught up with Keef, who remained silent on the entire situation.

The history of beef with tekasi 6ix9ine was on the table after Keef got shot; however, Tekashi claims that it's all love between him and Chief Keef. Tekashi claims that he's a fan of Keef and even asks how much a feature would cost.

Tekashi might just be trying to cover up his act, but there's no evidence to connect him to the shooting directly.
