Rich Homie Quan’s Son Emotively Raps Along To His Music Onstage At Funeral

September 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rich Homie Quan received a touching tribute in Atlanta at a heartfelt funeral service on Tuesday (September 17) from his family, loved ones, friends, colleagues, and fans. It was a sad affair, but a heartening one nonetheless as those mourning his loss could find some closure and celebrate his life. One particular example came when the rapper’s son rapped along to his father’s track “Milk Marie” with Rich Gang, which was a passionate display. Other MCs like Killer Mike were also in attendance, and offered some parting words for Quan at the large ceremony spearheaded by the late artist’s father Corey Lamar.

Furthermore, this wasn’t the only way in which the city of Atlanta paid tribute to their hometown star. The city also declared September 17 as Rich Homie Quan Memorial Day to commemorate his life and the funeral service held at World Changers Church International in South Fulton. This also comes amid the release of his posthumous track “Song Cry,” a more emotive and reflective cut than what many fans had heard from him in the past.

Rich Homie Quan’s Son’s Performance

Other than Rich Homie Quan’s son, many other of his loved ones paid tribute to him, including his partner Amber Williams. “This has to be the toughest thing I’ve ever endured,” she captioned an Instagram post with various photos. “Don’t even know how to gather my words. When I met you I had no idea how our life was gonna change for the good. You got locked up & that time apart brought us closer. Fast forward, on the rise of your career I knew what I signed up for. No one could tell me anything about you, I wasn’t going for it. Support is an understatement!

“You worked your a** off & I finally convinced you that we need to start vacationing in which we did,” she added concerning Rich Homie Quan. “Always made sure you be an active father to all your kids. I couldn’t treat you like an artist because you’re still human. My 1st love & my last. I can’t question God but I can call on him just like I could call on you. You had so much more to do but it’s on us to keep your name alive. I’m hurt, devastated, numb, angry, disappointed, just flat out numb. I do know one thing for certain is that I gave you your flowers while you were here with us & I did my part!”
Rest In Peace Rich Homie Quan.

Ralo Responds To Backlash Over Alleged “Weird” Behavior At Rich Homie Quan’s Funeral

September 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rich Homie Quan’s funeral service was an emotional, sad, but also uplifting and beautiful ceremony in Atlanta this week. However, according to an eyewitness account from DJ Pretty Boy Tank, there were some disrespectful people in the crowd, including rapper Ralo. “He was sitting behind me in the funeral being weird & talking the entire time .. Even said he almost went live in the services smh,” he alleged. “Buddy kept blowing his nose like a trumpet too … Almost had to curse a lady out for taking a pic of the casket as well .. Yall be acting weird as hell at known people’s funerals.”

According to AllHipHop, Ralo – who previously blasted fake love for Rich Homie Quan – responded to this claim via a social media PSA video. “If you don’t want to see me on the Internet, then you know what you got to do,” he reportedly remarked. “Get off the Internet, b***h. ‘Cause I ain’t. Soon as a n***a say something good about somebody, you d**k riding. Soon as you try to post a n***a that’s dead, you d**k riding. Do y’all motherf***ers ever say anything good?”

“Not one person on this earth can show Wea I pulled a phone out Inside that man funeral,” Ralo also claimed online following Rich Homie Quan’s funeral. “Every body at the graves site had they phone out but they wanna come to Ralo. Matter fact what other rappers was there other than me and Boosie????” For those unaware, the two MCs previously had beef, but they were able to settle their differences before RHQ passed away. Sadly, Quan could not say the same for some of his other reported conflicts, such as his strained relationship with Young Thug.

Meanwhile, speaking of Young Thug, Ralo recently clowned YSL RICO trial witness Lil Woody for being a special guest at a law class. “Like I said he round this bih living it up,” he wrote on social media once he became amused by the clip he came across. It seems like the Atlanta spitter will continue to defend himself online and give his unfiltered takes on rap happenings.

September 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, a funeral service for Rich Homie Quan was hosted in South Fulton, Georgia. Several family members and friends gathered to pay their respects. According to DJ Pretty Boy Tank, however, not everyone was respectful. He took to Twitter/X recently to call out Ralo, accusing him of behaving inappropriately at the event.

“He was sitting behind me in the funeral being weird & talking the entire time ..

Yall be acting weird as hell at known people’s funerals.”

Ralo Comes To His Own Defense After DJ Pretty Boy Tank Puts Him On Blast

When asked why he didn’t step in at the time, he said that he was simply not in the mood due to the circumstances. “Bruh if you sitting inside a funeral service for your brother you’re automatically mourning and not in a mood to say anything especially if you’re trying to drown him out and listen to the speakers. I’ll happily share my grievances with buddy now that my mood isn’t as bad,” he explained.

Ralo took to his own account to fire back today, denying ever having his phone out during the funeral. “Not one person on this earth can show Wea I pulled a phone out Inside that man funeral,” he claimed. “Every body at the graves site had they phone out but they wanna come to Ralo. Matter fact what other rappers was there other than me and Boosie????” What do you think of Ralo getting called out for his questionable behavior at Rich Homie Quan’s funeral?

Rich Homie Quan’s Father Says Funeral Service Will Be Open To The Public

September 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Today, we have been gathering more and more information about the tragic and bewildering passing of Rich Homie Quan. Just hours ago, we got word about what possibly caused his death. There’s been some speculation that it was a drug overdose; however, a death incident report from local authorities tells a different story. Accounts from the rapper’s brother, Andre Munford, and girlfriend, Amber Williams suggest that he somehow passed out while eating and choked on the food that was in his mouth. More details are sure to arise soon, but none of that really matters. We are all heartbroken over his loss and the father of the Atlanta MC knows that.

Its why Rich Homie Quan’s funeral is going to be open to everyone, according to Corey Lamar. Penn Live says that the original plans for the service were going to be private and abbreviated. This was so that the family could begin “the healing process” sooner. However, Mr. Lamar clearly did some thinking and felt that people who supported him in any way deserved the opportunity to come too.

“Without the fans, there would be no Quan,” he said. At this time, nothing else is known about the hard details. Mr. Lamar says information on the service “will be shared soon”, though. Fans online are pretty skeptical and/or not happy about this decision, as they feel strangers at a rapper’s funeral could get out of hand. At the end of the day, though, it’s up to the family and everyone should respect the decision they’ve gone with.

Kendrick Lamar Fans Debunk Claim That TDE Didn’t Support Nipsey Hussle’s Funeral

August 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fans of Kendrick Lamar have been coming to the defense of Top Dawg Entertainment on social media after a rumor began to spread that the group wasn’t supportive of Nipsey Hussle’s family as they made funeral arrangements. An account on X (formerly Twitter) with the username “keep6ixsolid” shared a clip of Hussle’s brother, Blacc Sam, reflecting on the days after the rapper’s death. The clip stems from his recent interview with Big Boy. In the caption, the user claimed the comments showed Lamar’s lack of support.

“Bro wtf is this??? I sat right next to Kendrick and Top at the funeral in the family section?” Ben Baller responded to the post. Karen Civil also shot down the rumor: “This isn’t accurate. Punch, Top Dawg & TDE were very supportive and in communication with us during that time and still continue to be supportive. Don’t create a false narrative to align it with your personal issues with TDE. Be blessed & #LLNH.” Another fan remarked: “Playing dirty with some dirty propaganda it’ll blow up on you… this is a whole lot of nothing you wrote here. Trying to paint Lamar and TDE as careless when it’s not the truth. But it’s expected from an OVHOE.” More users complained about Drake’s fanbase as well.

Blacc Sam Recalls Churches Refusing To Host Nipsey Hussle’s Funeral

August 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

During a recent interview with Big Boy, Blacc Sam opened up about the tragic and untimely passing of his brother, Nipsey Hussle. The West Coast icon was murdered outside of his store in 2019, shaking the hip-hop community and leaving his loved ones devasted. Blacc Sam was no exception and described experiencing a loss of faith following Nipsey’s death.

“[I] just couldn’t understand it. It was like the Twilight Zone after that. Everything I believed in — my faith was shattered,” he explained. “Still can’t understand it, honestly. Just a twilight zone, man. [I] don’t understand. [It] shook my whole belief and whatever I believed in.”

Nipsey’s funeral was held at the Crypto.com Arena, formerly the Staples Center, in April of that year. According to Blacc Sam, however, finding a venue for the funeral was no easy feat at first. “Honestly, it was God,” he said. “You know, it was Hussle and God because we were just going through it… Obviously, we gotta get this funeral handled the right way, we were trying to hit churches and you know, Black churches, Black preachers. Nope, nope, nope. So, we couldn’t find a venue.”

Eventually, Nipsey’s friend and business partner Karen Civil stepped in and was able to secure the Crypto.com Arena with the help of LeBron James and Roc Nation. “After weeks and weeks of we can’t get a venue … we got the Staples for bro. And so, at that point, it was like, alright man, we gotta make sure we do this the right way for bro,” he added. This resulted in a 25-mile procession, with roughly 20,000 people in attendance to honor the later performer. What do you think of Blacc Sam’s recent interview with Big Boy?

Foolio’s Loved Ones Dance To Yungeen Ace Diss Track At His Funeral

July 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last month, Julio Foolio tragically passed away at the age of 26, following a shooting at his birthday party. As fans and peers mourn the unexpected loss, many have become confused, as his Instagram account has been more active than ever. Aside from posting promotional videos, it’s shared posts about voodoo, compared the late rapper to a “demi-God,” and more.

It remains unclear who’s running the account, though some speculate that it’s been hacked. The account shared a Story post yesterday featuring footage from Foolio’s funeral, which was hosted in Jacksonville late last week. It shows his friends and family dancing and singing along to “When I See You,” the performer’s infamous Yungeen Ace diss track.

Foolio’s Instagram Account Suggests Funeral Was A Music Video Shoot

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

On the track, he raps about Yungeen Ace’s brother and two affiliates getting murdered after a birthday party in 2018. Social media users point out that it’s an odd song choice for a funeral, particularly considering the circumstances that led up to Foolio’s own passing. The account didn’t stop there, however. It went on to suggest that the funeral was actually a music video shoot. “Funeral?? Or the best music video coming soon,” it wrote.

The account also shared an Instagram Story captioned “I’m still standing!!!!” and “When the time is right the truth will come out.” Of course, this has only fueled rumors that he faked his death, which are completely unconfirmed. Either way, the posts have fans calling out whoever’s behind the late artist’s account, and urging them to put things to rest. What do you think of Foolio’s family and friends vibing to his Yungeen Ace diss track at his funeral? What about the late rapper’s IG account suggesting that the funeral was actually a music video shoot? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
