“I need all my fans to pray for me[.] [My] [d]octor just told me I have cancer on my kidneys. [P]rayer is power, that’s why I’m letting the world know. [#]prayfaboosie,” he wrote.

Boosie underwent surgery last week to remove half his kidney and says he’s now in recovery. 

According to TMZ, the Baton Rouge, La., rapper underwent a nephrectomy, for which he had to pay $90,000 because he did not have health insurance. Although he’s still recovering, Boosie’s looking forward to returning to music.
