Meek Mill Will Accept Apology From Cosmopolitan Hotel in Lieu of Lawsuit
Written by SOURCE on May 31, 2019
TMZ has learned that the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas will issue a “significant public apology” to Meek Mill for threatening to arrest him if he tried to enter the building. Meek will, in turn, accept their apology, and not file a lawsuit against the hotel for racial discrimination and defamation.
Meek tried to enter the Cosmopolitan this past Saturday, but was denied by hotel security, and informed by an employee that he would not be allowed on the premises, and arrested if he tried to enter their establishment.
Meek shared footage of his encounter on Instagram, accusing the hotel of “extreme racism.”
His attorney, Joe Tacopina, threatened to seek “heavy monetary damages” in a lawsuit against the Cosmopolitan, and claimed that the hotel has a blacklist for black rappers. While the hotel says that they have “zero tolerance for discrimination,” Yo Gotti alleges that he has been subjected to “similar discrimination” from the establishment.
“Unfortunately, I’ve experienced similar discrimination at the Cosmopolitan and other Vegas hotels,” Yo Gotti said. “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’s ordeal has received the support of many people within the hip-hop community, including 50 Cent and T.I.
