Yesterday, following news that Gang Starr’s Guru had died of cancer, doubts were raised over his suspicious “deathbed letter”, released by his associate Solar, announcing the creation of a new nonprofit charity by the rapper and asking that “any awards or tributes should be accepted, organized, [and] approved by Solar on behalf [of] myself.” Today, Guru’s sister, Patricia Elam, released a statement claiming her family is unaware of any foundations established by her brother, and that Guru never regained consciousness following a February heart attack, which would seemingly have prevented him from writing that letter and making this statement in March.
