Mill and 2 members of his security were supposedly stopped by security around 3:30 p.m. May 25 as they arrived.
They were told that if Mill got out of the car, he would be arrested.
They telling black rappers they are banned from properties they own without incident ... they just told me I was trespassing and I will be arrested I stepped in that hotel once at a jayz party without incident!

Mill’s lawyer claims that he was told that hotel-casinos are making an effort to keep rappers out of hotels.
Mill accused the Cosmopolitan in a video on social media of being racist.
Mill’s lawyer has supposedly written a demand letter saying “…we have learned that the Cosmopolitan maintains a list of African American recording artists who should be denied access for no other reason than their culture and skin color.”
The Cosmopolitan provided the following statement to 13 Action News:
As a matter of company policy, we do not comment on legal matters. Our guests’ safety and security always remains our top priority.
Mill is advising people on social media not to visit the hotel-casino.
If you come from our culture you should never step foot in the cosmopolitan hotel they just really racist as hell .... something really has to be done in Las Vegas what they doing to black people!
