Rapper Nate Dogg suffered a massive stroke in 2008 and was forced to live in a medical facility until 2010 and now a former business associate of the rapper says his friends all but abandoned him during his time of need.
Record label owner David Michery says he vouched for Nate Dogg’s hospital bill in 2008 after nobody else would step up and help pay for the rapper’s $300,000 in treatment. According to Michery he was told that the bill had to be paid if Nate wanted to receive continued help from the facility.
Now a judge has ruled that David must pay that bill because he vouched for the rapper for which Michery says “none of Nate’s so-called rapper friends” stepped up to the plate to save his life.
According to David Nate’s doctors said it was “imperative” that he receive specialized treatment as his life neared it’s end.
“I was the only person who would come forward because I didn’t want him to die. Me and Nate have 20 years history together and I did what everyone should have done and tried to save his life … not let him get kicked out in the streets and die.”
For his part David says he has no regrets because Nate and him were friends for more than 20 years, he says of the situation “I would do it again in a minute.”
David Michery claims to be the owner of several never before released Nate Dogg tracks which he plans to release in order to cover the large hospital bill.
Do you think Nate Dogg’s wealthy rapper friends should have stepped up to offer their financial assistance?
