Meek Mill was denied entry to the Las Vegas Cosmopolitan Hotel yesterday.
The Philly rapper arrived yesterday afternoon to attend a DJ Mustard concert, but on entry, hotel security informed him that he was not allowed on the premises and if he tried then he would be arrested. Meek was not given a valid reason and took to social media to call out the hotel.
Meek recorded part of the exchange and posted it on his Instagram, with the caption, “Cosmopolitan hotel/casino going to extreme racist levels to keep too many black entertainers and black people …. they said they gone lock me up.. I’m like for what I’ve been once to a party with jayz ….. Some of these casinos have a bunch of Tatics to keep the level of blacks down …. but love to take our money!!!! This happens to a lot of black entertainers not just me either!! I felt crazy being put out by these white men for no reason!”.

When Meek questioned the reasoning behind the ban the employee replied, “We have the right to do that” but did not explain any further.
Meek’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, said the order came from “a well-placed person inside the hotel” and that he believes the denied entry was racially motivated.
