YoungWillz 21,055 Posted January 17, 2016 Blowfly The X Rated Old School Rapper has entered hospice care with terminal liver cancer and multiple organ failure. Not sure if anyone picked him for any Deathpools but if they did seems to be a case of how many days. Think I remember reading he was ill about nine months or so back, there were some fundraisers, but I doubted he'd get the required obits. Fascinating character though even if his music is an acquired taste/basically the American version of those "naughty" Black Lace LPs. According to his Facebook page, Blowfly dead: https://www.facebook.com/BlowflyOfficial/photos/a.10150534388938990.377265.6072703989/10153426898243990/?type=3&fref=nf 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
