One week after Chief Keef spent a night in an Atlanta jail cell for allegedly smoking weed, the rapper has made claims that the security guard who called the cops was racist.

Speaking with TMZ  Keef said that the security guard at the Le Meridien Atlanta Perimeter Hotel was "racist from the moment he walked in the room."

"So me and my homie Tray Savage was in the hotel room chillin' when some fat-ass security guard started knocking on the door talking about he needed to fix a water leak. So his ass walked in and started looking around at us and immediately gave me the racist look then started talking shit to me," Keef said, adding, "I told him, 'I thought you wanted to fix a water leak?' Which he obviously lied 'cause there was no water leaking. Then he immediately started talking shit to us. He told me that he was going to call the police on me so I called him a bitch."

The situation apparently escalated from there, with the guard threatening to call the police on Keef, rapper Tray Savage and one other unidentified male. "I blew smoke in his face and pulled out 30 racks [$30,000] and said I got the bond money — there is more where this come from," Keef explained.

The police arrived to the scene and arrested the rapper on for disorderly conduct before releasing him the next day (May 21). He tweeted at the time that he was "mad as fuck" about spending the night in jail.

TMZ notes that the security guard has denied the allegations of racism, noting that he was just doing his job since possessing marijuana is illegal in the state of Georgia.
