Yo Gotti has weighed in on Meek Mill’s recent experience at the Cosmopolitan Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
In a statement sent to HipHopDX, the Memphis rap force admits he’s had his own issues with not only the Cosmopolitan but other Sin City hotels, claiming they discriminated against him in a similar fashion.
“Unfortunately, I’ve experienced similar discrimination at the Cosmopolitan and other Vegas hotels,” Gotti says. “It’s a disgrace that these establishments continue to judge us by the color of our skin and our professions instead of recognizing our artistry and dedication to our communities.
“I stand with Meek Mill and all my peers in the Hip Hop community that have been disrespected by places like the Cosmopolitan.”
Meek was barred from entering the Cosmopolitan on Saturday (May 25) when he was attempting to see a DJ Mustard show at the Marquee Dayclub. When he asked the security team why he wasn’t allowed in, they were unable to provide him with a concrete answer and threatened to arrest him.
But, in the days since the incident, the Cosmopolitan claims Meek was banned because of a past fight on their property, then changed courses and said he wasn’t let in because the club was already at “capacity.”
Meek’s attorney Joe Tacopina issued a statement on Monday (May 27) in response to the Cosmopolitan’s statement citing capacity concerns.
“The assertion that the Cosmopolitan denied Meek because of capacity concerns at Marquee Dayclub is outright false,” the statement read. “In the recorded video, Meek also inquired about getting a meal at one of the hotel’s restaurants, yet their security team continued to deny Meek and said he would be arrested for trespassing regardless of location in the hotel premises. The Cosmopolitan’s conduct continues to be deplorable.”
Meek and Tacopina have vowed to sue the hotel.
This the same Yo Gotti who sent goons to shoot at Young Dolph at that luxury hotel in Beverly Hills. STFU
Both of these rappers are known to cause trouble. So it on them. The hotel tryna protect their brand
The downfall of the hiphop culture. Hiphop was gone through a transformation where trap and mumble rap has spread it’s style to all mainstream hiphop. Real hiphop only lives in the Underground, and even the Underground has been invaded by the so called Soundcloud rappers. Its sad that the only form of hiphop that gets broadcast to the world whether it be through commercials, award shows, sports games, leading figures, etc is Trap Music. What a shame! There is so much more to offer that trap-mumble.
Maybe the dont want vehicles and possibly innocent people getting shot up outside their place of business. 2 of Gottis main guys plead guilty and are locked for spraying Dolphs van I think it was
If that’s the case, cool. Just don’t be a bitch and just say what’s real. That’s what really gets ppl hot
No one got hot idiot. They’re convicted felons. That’s the case. You’re entitled to refuse service to anyone period. Eat a bag of dicks, you rave baiting moron.
This is just pathetic…
Young fletcher wants his 6.6 million potato head
,SLAVES wear chains , I’m more free than you
ENSLAVED DIAMONDS.
– UGLY NECKLACE AROUND YOUR THROAT
YOU LOOK LIKE A SLAVE
Fast to talk that How many Diamonds you got Trash Talk.- Look at all them children and adults who lost fingers, arms in Africa on Diamond fields, caves and things. It don’t affect you at all, you have no feelings for them.- You a Loser
Those African children etc lost fingers etc because of white racism and the cops in America. They all flew over there and did that to those people. Sarcasm. If diamonds didn’t exist they’d be chopping each other up over coffee. Or, nothing. Ever heard of Southside Chicago?
JESUS don’t wear BRACELETS, CHAINS and NECKLACES. – Be more like JESUS.-
MOSES don’t wear Chains, Necklaces, Rings of Gold Platinum and Silver.- Me either.- Be more like Moses, Get closer to GOD, you rappers looking GAY.-
JESUS don’t wear necklaces of Gold, Platinum or Silver, Me either. You rappers look like Slaves. I’m more free than you.
So, the two CONVICTED FELONS find it shocking that reputable businesses with REAL MILLIONAIRES don’t want these two idiots staying at their locations? They’re loud, always walk they the hotel/casino with their amateur security goons, they want to smoke weed everywhere and harass the women in the hotel. Of the REAL security from the hotel tells them and their goons they can’t keep people off of the elevators etc so their artists can ride alone, they can’t hit on all the women etc, they yell racism. I’m staying at the cosmopolitan from here on out just because of this. LoL. Fucking dindu self snitching ass Meek. Talk and promote violence and drug sales, dress like a muppet and REAL wealthy people don’t want you near them. Rightfully so.
Those hotels ban gangster image… What image have Meek Mill and Yo Gotti? Jay-Z had no problem because he rapps now about Basquiat art and not about being hard muthafucka.
You English not so good. Better make sense more if trying to make point. Da?
Build your own hotels. Create nice, safe places to relax and party for your own. What did you expect? Shit been going on for centuries. Time to build, not protest.
