Geto Boys’ Bushwick Bill Reveals Stage 4 Cancer Diagnosis

The rapper says he’s undergoing intensive chemotherapy

Geto Boys co-founder Bushwick Bill received a diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer in February, the rapper tells TMZ. He’s undergoing intensive chemotherapy but says it’s too early to tell how his body is responding. Bill says the diagnosis came as a surprise because doctors had told him the mass on his pancreas was benign. He’s planning to release three albums and mentioned the possibility of releasing a documentary and book.

Geto Boys’ DJ Ready Red died last year after an apparent heart attack.
