Rap-Up.com || Lauryn Hill, 50 Cent, and Diddy Attend Chris Lighty’s Funeral

Lauryn Hill, 50 Cent, Diddy, and Nick Cannon gathered to pay their respects to Chris Lighty at a memorial service in New York City on Wednesday.

The mourners at Frank E. Campbell Funeral Chapel also included Missy Elliott, Fat Joe, Q-Tip, LL Cool J, Rev. Run, Russell Simmons, Michael Bivens, Wyclef Jean, Grandmaster Flash, and Gayle King.

The 44-year-old hip-hop mogul, who founded Violator Management, was found dead in his Bronx apartment last week after an apparent suicide.

According to the AP, Lighty was laid to rest in a dark suit, surrounded by white floral arrangements. A slide show depicting his life was shown on screen.

“He was somebody that gave me advice,” Maino told the New York Daily News. “I don’t like to see this. I don’t like to see families like this. We’re talking about a legend. He helped artists become superstars and moguls.”

He is survived by his 36-year-old wife Veronica, 17-year-old daughter, and 5-year-old son.

How disrespectful of Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo to show up dressed like they’re going to the mall. Show some respect for the family and dress accordingly. I hate how hip hop culture has affected so many Black men to live, think, and act BASIC

@The-Truth,

I agree. And at least Banks made an effort in sobriety. Yayo came with a Varsity jacket and a goddamn NY fitted cap.

@MinajRules2012,

Lauryn looks good, she is fashion forward, Ms Hill is not gonna go around parading herself in mini skirts looking like a slut. She is no Nikki Garbage Minaj. I hate people who always look for faults in Lauryn when there is noen. Lauryn has never dressed like anyone from the Fugees and Miseducation days. She is more into African and European style of dressing, which we never see in most of the american celebrities.

@K.TO, a Christian is supposed to have the Lord in charge of their life and if someone decides that they can’t handle this life and they are going to end it prematurely, then they are basically “impeaching” the Lord and putting them self in charge of their destiny instead of trusting Him to see them through till He calls them home.

1 Corinthians 6:19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

@Mrunhateable, If your self-righteous butt is so damn holy, then why the hell are you on a HIP-HOP site? Shut up. You make all Christians look bad. And, let’s be real here, Christianity is not the only religion in the world. Not everyone has to abide by it. For all we know, you may be praying to the “wrong” God.

@Mrunhateable, as a Christian myself, I know what the Bible says & We know what’s taking place right here on earth, From North America, Africa and the Middle East the entire world… I 2 was a former talent manager, top of my game came close… seeked the Lord so Hard I found him in my heart & mind… Not promoting suicide… Could it be possible that he is being Judged by the Lord? YES! “You will have ever lasting life” The body has exited the earth but his Spirit is in GODS Hands to be Judged!!! With Knowledge, Compassion & Understanding…

May he RIP.
The ones who suffer the most are his children. May God be with them through these tough times.

I also hear this is why Missy Elliott delayed her singles. Thought that was pretty cool of her!

Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks look ridiculous. They couldn’t find a suit? 50 cent found a suit. Its time to grow up and start playing the role of a grown man.

What next did they have a 40oz tucked away to pour on the grave and say “this is for my fallin homies”
