Grammy nominee rapper, Nipsey Hussle last year went on a press run for his album Victory Lap. He announced on the Breakfast Club that he will be creating a documentary for the legendary Dr. Sebi.

Alfredo Darrington Bowman, better known as Dr. Sebi, was a Honduran herbalist and self-proclaimed healer.Bowman claimed to cure all disease with herbs and a unique vegan diet based on various pseudoscience claims. His diet was based on the discredited alkaline diet. His beliefs on the origin of disease denied germ theory and taught that HIV is not the cause of AIDS,and factored in faux-afrocentric claims about the unique genetic characteristics of Africans and its diaspora.

In 1987, New York City charged him with a criminal charge of practicing medicine without a license and for saying a cured all these different type of diseases when there was no cure. Dr. Sebi made the New York Attorney General look silly when he had 77 people come to his defense that he did cure them. After the trial, the New York Attorney General sued for consumer fraud and prevented him from making therapeutic claims for his products. The country would lose billions if not trillions of dollars if Dr. Sebi started to cure everyone with Diabetes, Aids, and other diseases.

Bowman was arrested for money laundering in March 2016 while attempting to transfer from a commercial flight from the United States to a private plane at the Juan Manuel Gálvez de Roatan Airport while carrying $37,000 in cash. On May 28th, 2016 he was arrested again, carrying $50,000, and taken into custody. He was first released pending a court hearing on June 6th, 2016, only to be re-arrested by the Public Ministerio on money laundering charges. He was held for several weeks in a Honduran prison as his family was attempting to obtain his release and subsequently died en route to Hospital D’Antoni on August 6th, 2016 due to complications of pneumonia after police officials realized the severity of his ill health.

Many believe this was a typical inside job to silence him, because his teachings differed from the medical establishment.
