Tragedy brought rivals and estranged partners under the same roof on Wednesday (September 5) afternoon, as droves of Hip Hop artists and industry figures attended Chris Lighty’s funeral.
As previously reported, Chris Lighty was found dead last week, reportedly as the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
The event turned out to be something of a media circus, as cameras crowded around Frank E. Campbell Funeral Chapel, which also hosted The Notorious B.I.G. and Aaliyah’s funerals.
LL Cool J, Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, Mary J. Blige, Diddy, 50 Cent, Fat Joe, and Lloyd Banks were among those in attendance at the high-profile event.
Watch the video below, spotted at RapRadar:
“High profile event”?! It’s a funeral, some respect. How about a line or two about his accomplishments and maybe even a “he’ll be missed”.
Hip Hop fans and sites that report hip hop events are too stupid, ignorant and far removed from the reality of a responsible society to report anything humanly like that.
R.I.P. BIG CHRIS
50 cent and Fat Joe in the same building? i know it was for the funeral of a mutual friend but please tell me it wasn’t at least a little awkward for them?
GROW UP?
You tend to put your problems aside when paying tribute to someone else’s life.
eee is a mental midget. petty ass shit.
Dumbass, do you enjoy living through other people? Why are you worried about some old azz beef from 2002 man? DAYUM folks are ignorant ass a MOFO. Grow Up, get a job and get up get out and get something.
peep Mr. Mariah Carey arriving at the 1:11 mark.
This is extremely unfortunate… he has contributed so much to Hip Hop
RIP
wtf banks and yayo these guys are fucking morons
high profile event? hhdx needs new writers asap. like seriously
Nobody escorts banks and yayo bums hanging around real talk
lol tony yayo got money stickin out his jean pockets
Question…Why the fuck is Yayo wearing a hot ass coat and other niggaz wearing sweaters when it had to have been over 85 degrees in NYC on that day??
Nothing worse than seeing adults showing up to funerals dressed like they’re going to a hip-hop club. Surely niggaz can afford to buy a dress shirt and a pair of slacks from Ross, Walmart, Target, etc!!! Grown up assholes!
bum ass yayo
Is that MC Serch at :54?
Banks and Yayo looked like they had just cut class. Bet they all showed up cause there were free drinks afterwards.
Eminem should have run up and smacked Nick Cannon. It don’t get more real than a fight at a funeral.
Fuck are Banks and Yayo doing at a funeral dressed like that? No respect
man chief keef shuldve been there
LOOK at you COONS dissin what the Unit was WEARING at a FUNERAL!? REALLY!? LOL, losers, seriously? Celebrate Lighty’s life not DISS a group you guys FOAM at the mouth to get at, lol, you DO REALIZE Lighty co-signed the SHIT outta 50 and his group right?? Herbs……RIP LIGHTY YOU WERE A TRUE PIONEER AND LEGEND AND YOU WILL BE MISSED!!! GOD BLESS!
i knew and heard of the guy from building a movement in the 90s especially with Busta, Missey and NORE, his contributions to the game were echoed loud and clear!!!
Yes i do think Banks and Yayo could have shown up looking more like they came to pay their respects
R.I.P. Chris Lighty
Some people don’t wear suits dude. They came the way Chris Lighty(VIP) knew they would come. When he was alive I’m sure he never seen either of them in a suit. Thats whats wrong with the world too many people are fake and just conform and get pissed when you either don’t or don’t have too!!!
At least this funeral dispels any G-Unit break up rumors. Banks and 50 were seen talking to each other before 50 got into his truck.
