He also reportedly said he’s seeking “heavy monetary damages.”
Meek’s lawyer contends that Las Vegas hotels have a list of black artists that they are denying entry “for no other reason than their culture and skin color.” Cosmopolitan later issued a public statement claiming that Meek was stopped because they were at capacity, however, Meek, and the video footage of the incident, tells a different story.
“The cosmopolitan issued a statement that it was over capacity at a pool party why I was banned but told me I would be arrested just for stepping on their property even if I went to eat on the property ‘not at the pool party’ doesn’t even make sense,” he tweeted. “And I don’t care about that casino I bring in millions every time my name mentioned on a Vegas casino event where I am always welcome … but y’all not gone just treat us like sh*t and act like it’s normal ??♂️ Put some respect on our race ‘please and thank you’.”

Meek’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, now tells TMZ that his client plans on suing the hotel. He says he will ask for “heavy monetary damages” for “lying and humiliating Meek,” adding, “I’m going to take this place down because of what they did.” Tacopina says that he’s been speaking with other Black recording artists and learned that both Yo Gotti and BlocBoy JB have also been denied entry to other Vegas hotels.
