After incorrect reports of his death on Sunday morning, a representative for Bushwick Bill has confirmed the iconic rapper’s passing due to pancreatic cancer.
“Bushwick Bill passed away peacefully [on Sunday, 9th June] at 9:35 p.m. He was surrounded by his immediate family,” Bill’s publicist wrote in a statement to Consequence of Sound.
The legendary Geto Boys member was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer earlier this year, and was forced to cancel the planned Geto Boys reunion due to the illness. Born in 1966, Bill joined the pioneering Texas rap group in 1986 as a dancer, before transitioning to rapping. The group’s 1991 album We Can’t Be Stopped was certified platinum in the United States, and yielded the Hot Rap Singles #1 “Mind Playing Tricks On Me.” Bill is survived by his son Javon Boutte.
