		</div><p>The Cosmopolitan Hotel And Casino in Las Vegas has apologised to rapper Meek Mill after he accused the resort of racism for barring him from its premises.</p>
<p>Meek Mill, whose real name is Robert Rihmeek Williams, said he was threatened with being arrested when he tried to enter the resort on Saturday.</p>
<p>He and his entourage were attempting to watch a performance from hip-hop act DJ Mustard when they were stopped by security, he said.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

<p>Williams accused the hotel of being racist, writing on Twitter: <em>“Something really has to be done in Las Vegas what they doing to black people!”</em></p>
<p>The Cosmopolitan has now apologised and said in a statement: <em>“We apologize to Meek Mill for how we handled the situation on Saturday, May 25, as we did not act in a respectful manner and were wrong.</em></p>

<p><em>“Meek Mill has not had any prior incidents on our property. The Cosmopolitan has zero tolerance for discrimination and we pride ourselves on providing an inclusive environment.</em></p>
<p><em>“We look forward to welcoming Meek Mill back to the resort.”</em></p>
<p>Williams’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, said his client will no longer be pursuing legal action against the hotel.</p>
<p>As well as his chart-topping music, Philadelphia-born Williams, 32, is known for being sent back to jail for a parole violation in November 2017.</p>
<p>The incident provoked outrage among his supporters, including Jay-Z, who argued the judge overseeing the case had acted improperly.</p>
<p>Williams was released after five months in prison.</p>
