Rapper Goonew Funeral Went Viral

After staging a ‘funeral’ showcasing what appeared to be the embalmed body of an up-and-coming rapper Goonew who was shot dead during a robbery two weeks earlier, a nightclub has stirred uproar. Fans of rapper Goonew were shocked when cellphone recordings from the event, nicknamed The Final Show, was released on Sunday night at club Bliss in Washington, DC.

The video which went viral showed the late rapper dressed in designer clothes and sporting a crown. As reported by DailyMail, mourners were said to have paid a $40 cover charge to enter the club. Videos show people in the crowded venue dancing and singing around the dead rapper’s body.

On Sunday, sizable mourners gathered at Bliss, which touts itself as “the perfect place for a sophisticated night of lounging and dancing,” to bid goodbye to the up-and-coming rapper. The video recorded and shared showed Goonew with his eyes open, a designer Amiri hooded sweatshirt, ripped jeans decorated with flames, and sneakers, and accessorized with a watch and a gold crown.

The crowd danced and sang while multi-colored strobe lights illuminate the packed venue. At one point, fireworks are set off right next to Morrow.

Many people commented on Instagram that the show was “weird,” “disturbing” and “disrespectful”. Meanwhile, others defended saying it was what the family had wanted. On Monday, the management of Bliss nightclub issued an Instagram message attempting to separate itself from the developing controversy surrounding the send-off.

‘Bliss was contacted by a local funeral home to rent out our venue for Goonew’s home-going celebration,’ the message read. ‘Bliss was never made aware of what would transpire. We sincerely apologize to all those who may be upset or offended.

‘Please keep Goonew’s family and friends in your prayers at this difficult time.’

Many people thought that it was a wax figure, including rapper, Black Fortune. Black also performed at the event and confirmed it was Goonew’s actual body. Black Fortune wrote on his Instagram Stories: ‘No this ain’t no wax figure… my Brodie went out gansta.’
