Chief Keef's Weed Birthday Cake Is The Most Chief Keef Thing Imaginable

Chicago-bred and now LA-based drill rapper Chief Keef celebrated his 21st birthday in the most Chief Keef way possible. His triple-tier birthday cake featured edible blunts and gold chains, plus a nod to lean down at the base—with a replica bottle of promethazine with codeine cough syrup.

The cake also featured Keef’s animation-style likeness and a crowning “21” on top. As TMZ noted, there’s also a pretty cool Bill Da Butcher-style interpolation of the Blackhawks logo down by the cough syrup bottle. (Good to see a local rep in there.)

The cake was made for Keef (real name Keith Cozart) by Marc Gravelle at the Cake and Art in West Hollywood, according to XXL. It took four hours to make and cost $1000.

As XXL points out, Keef did more than just eat (and admire treats) for his birthday: he also landed a shiny, new Rolls Royce and released two new tracks. But let's be honest, as drill fades from its phenomenal peak, it's the cake that many will remember. The only way to beat it next year is if he makes the whole thing a hologram.
