UPDATE: Scarface Denies He's Battling Lung Cancer
By A2HH • AUGUST 9, 2018
The legendary emcee is battling lung cancer after years of “chain-smoking” cigarettes and marijuana, according to a source close to Face.
Scarface, whose real name is Brad T. Jordan, has been receiving treatment for the lung disease in his native Houston at Memorial Hermann Medical Center, which is renown for exceptional oncological care, the source said.
BOSSIP is being told that his condition has been up and down, and he had a close call a few months ago, telephoning a loved one in tears to complain that he was having trouble breathing and he believed it was the end.
However, the former “Geto Boys” member was able to bounce back and has booked a number of performances and other engagements since. He is now set to be in New York City this weekend for a show at the Source360 Conference and Festival in Brooklyn.
