The skull cap was taken off again following an infection that also nearly killed him.
It had been 172 days since a representative from Roc Nation had contacted him, he said.
“I feel … like I’ve been left in the dust,” Franco said. “They never valued me as a person. All I was was a product.”
Franco’s father, Al, said he was reduced to begging Roc Nation executives Michael Yormark and Dino Duva, asking whether the company — or Jay-Z or his wife, Beyoncé — could use one of their powerful social media platforms to promote Daniel’s GoFundMe campaign, which has raised more than $60,000 to help offset the family’s medical and travel costs, with nearly $200,000 in remaining bills.
No such assistance was granted, and the younger Franco recently noticed that Roc Nation Sports’ fighter stable had dwindled to a handful of fighters. Franco has been deleted from its website.
Asked what the company has done to help Franco, Yormark, said, “I have no comment.”
