Over the last few years, Boosie BadAzz has been particularly vocal about his health problems. His struggle with diabetes has often been talked about in interviews over different platforms.

In a latest serious confession about his health, the American rapper revealed that he has kidney cancer. The information came trough an Instagram post, but the caption was later deleted.

According to Billboard, the original caption read, "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."

The original post was reposted by XXL Magazine before the caption was put off by the American star. TMZ reports that Boosie's team was not happy with the confession, which is the reason why the caption was deleted later.

The 33-year-old veteran from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, spent five years in prison on drug charges. Released in March 2014, Boosie released his comeback album titled "Touch Down 2 Cause Hell" in May 2015. His first show since the release of his comeback album was cut short after the rapper vomited on stage and walked off.

According to the American Cancer Society, around 61,560 new cases of kidney cancer are diagnosed each year in the United States. In addition, more than 14,000 people die each year because of the disease. It is one of the 10 most common cancers in men and women. Men are at a greater risk of developing kidney cancer than women.
