Bushwick Bill Hospitalized With Pneumonia
HOUSTON, TX – Bush- wick Bill has made it clear to his fans why he was forced to cancel a Geto Boys reunion tour. In an Instagram video he shared on Saturday (May 25), he reveals he’s been hospital- ized with pneumonia since Friday (May 24).
“For all y’all out there that thought I was healthy enough to make a tour, I’ve been in the hospital since May 24,” he says from his hospital bed. “Interestingly enough, walk- ing pneumonia and [there’s] an infection in my blood.

“Now, the rumor is I pulled
out on the tour, but if my health was a concern then you would know about my health, not about me pulling out of the tour. This is a health issue. Pancreatic cancer. Chemo therapy gave me pneumonia.”
The Geto Boys co- founder revealed he was bat- tling stage 4 pancreatic cancer at the beginning of this month. He admitted at the time he hadn’t told his Geto Boys brethren Scareface or Willie D. Once they heard the news, they decided to book a full tour run.
On the roster of Nipsey Hussle's many business en- deavors, Puma was one of the many highlights when the athletic brand inked a collab- orative deal with the late rap- per in 2018. The partnership will reportedly be released in Fall 2019.
During the Wall Street Journal's Future of Every- thing Festival, Puma's brand and marketing global director Adam Petrick said that the company will continue to work with Hussle's estate to further his legacy. "We had a lot of things that were com- ing, and hopefully a lot of things we will still do with his estate," Petrick said per The Root. "We'll work with his family and we'll support his kids. We're going to continue to release some product that we've created with him.

We've also got some charity activations that we'll do to support what he was doing in Crenshaw, and trying to con- tinue the work that he was doing through his founda- tion."

LAS VEGAS, NV – Meek Mill and his attorney Joe Tacopina are planning to sue the Cosmopolitan Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The Philly rapper was refused entry into the establishment on Saturday (May 25) for rea- sons he believes are rooted in racism.
In a statement to TMZ, the hotel explained they didn’t allow Meek into the Mar- quee Dayclub — where DJ Mustard was performing — because of an alleged alterca- tion on their property, but then they shifted gears and said it was because they were at “capacity.”
But Tacopina quickly called foul on their explana- tion.
“The assertion that the Cosmopolitan denied Meek because of capacity concerns at Marquee Dayclub is out- right false,” he said. “In the recorded video, Meek also inquired about getting a meal at one of the hotel’s restau- rants, yet their security team continued to deny Meek.
“[They] said he would be arrested for trespassing re- gardless of location in the premises. The Cosmopoli- tan’s conduct continues to be

deplorable.”
Tacopina insists they
will end up paying “heavy monetary damages.” He vows to bleed them dry for “lying and humiliating Meek” and says he will “take this place down because of what they
did.”Meek’s lawyer claims there’s a list of black rappers who are banned from other Sin City hotels. He says he’s already identified two other rappers — Yo Gotti and BlocBoy JB — who have made similar complaints against other Vegas hotels.
