Keefe D says jail is worsening his health problems.

Duane "Keefe D" Davis, who is facing murder charges for the killing of 2Pac, says he's suffering from cancer and the conditions in jail are exacerbating his health problems. Appearing in court for a hearing on Tuesday, he attempted to get out on bond with the help of Wack 100. In pleading his case, he argued that his cancer had returned.

“I got cancer," he said candidly, "I been in jail eating processed food. I had colon cancer… they serve all this processed food, they don’t serve no fruit, it’s terrible. Fake potatoes, fake milk. Fake everything. It ain’t good for an ex-cancer patient. I got it again.”

Keefe further argued: “They took me to the hospital on May 5. He came into my cell and said, ‘Hurry up and get dressed, you need emergency surgery.’ They referred me to my cancer doctor so I went and seen him on May 8 and he said, ‘I’ll get you to do a colonoscopy in a week, CT scan in two weeks, CT scan in three weeks.’ They haven’t came here to do nothing. I’m in a life situation and I will do anything to save my life.”

While Keefe and Wack were able to come up with the $750,000, the judge denied his bond request over suspicions as to where the money came from. Additionally, the court wasn't buying Wack's reasoning for wanting Keefe out. Be on the lookout for further updates on Duane "Keefe D" Davis on HotNewHipHop.
