Baton Rouge rapper Boosie Badazz revealed some sad news earlier today — he has cancer. He posted a photo of himself eating a meal on Instagram with the caption: “I need all my fans to pray for me. Doctor just told me I have cancer on my kidneys. Prayer is power that’s why I’m letting the world know.” The caption was shortly deleted after because Bossie’s team was not happy he revealed his condition so quickly, according to TMZ. The rapper has been living with diabetes for years and was released from prison in March 2015 after serving five years for a drug conviction. We will keep him in our prayers.
