“People always try and paint negative images about me I’m the most genuine down to earth person and I didn’t forget where I came from I came through for baby girl by providing a horse and carriage for her. She was pretty, innocent and didnt deserve to die like that R.I.P D’Asia Robinson.”
An estimated 2,500 mourners, including hundreds of teenagers, came out in support of Robinson and her family.
HipHopDX sends their condolences to the Robinson family. Below are some pictures from the funeral (via NY Daily News):
