It feels like Boosie just got home and there's already bad news. The rapper posted on Instagram earlier that he has been diagnosed with kidney cancer, and that fans should pray for his recovery. The revealing caption has since been deleted, but the photo remains, and a few outlets had grabbed a screenshot of it in time.

"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 prayfaboosie"

According to TMZ, Boosie's team was displeased with his candor, resulting in the caption being pulled. Boosie is 33 and has been living with diabetes for some time now, even rapping the disease at times.

Atlantic Records has confirmed that Boosie does have cancer, though an official statement has yet to be released. So far, the rap community has reached out to Boosie with rappers Jim Jones and Juelz Santana taking to social media to voice their support.
