Earlier today, Geto Boys Bushwick Bill was fighting for his life in a Houston hospital, but he lost his battle to stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
Read on to get more details since Bushwick Bill’s reps confirmed he died Sunday evening surrounded by family at 9:35 PM in Houston…
CelebNMusic247.com previous reported that Geto Boys Bushwick Bill, born Richard Shaw, was NOT DEAD earlier today after FAKE reports surfaced prematurely of his passing.
Bushwick Bill‘s daughter lashed out on social media pointing the finger at another Geto Boys member who she claimed was only trying to profit off his death.
She wrote:
Certain people have been so quick to write him off as dead so they can capitalize off it, and it’s messed up because yall really think these people care about him.
She stressed:
There is no Geto Boys without Bushwick Bill.
Bill’s son, Javon Shaw, said his final words were:
I will love you forever.
During his final hours, she says she spoke to hospital staff to confirm, and says some of Bill’s family members are by his hospital bedside right now. Others are on their way.
Bushwick Bill, Scarface, and Willie D became the Geto Boys in Houston back in 1988 and signed with J. Prince’s Rap-A-Lot Records. Just a few weeks ago, the rap trio was trying to put together a reunion, but it fell apart at the last minute.
Promoters pulled the plug on the tour on the eve of its launch. However, Bill told us he wanted to do a 20-city solo tour called “Phuck Cancer” … and planned to donate a portion of proceeds to pancreatic cancer patients in each city. He was NEVER able to do the tour.
RIP Bushwick Bill. It was just too soon for you to pass.
The Geto Boys will always be a part of hip hop history since the paved the way for many Houston hip hop artists.
