Know what's tacky? The headlines screaming "Star Studded Funeral". I don't mean to step on toes here but hell I don't want a star studded funeral. That's just wrong. I'm so "A-List", only the most fly come to see me off?
So is the case for Heavy D. One thing is for sure..if its catered. Jay Z is THERE with a suit on. I swear he must have battalions of transit people to usher him from gig to gig.
Who else? Will Smith, P Diddy,Mary J Blige, Usher, and hell Obama sent a dang letter. All to the Mount Vernon Baptist Church send off That my friends is funeral swag. A two and a half hour event no less- why? Cuz Jay Z and Al Sharpton got a microphone
Jay Z
“He became my friend. He became my brother, and I’m not talking about friend-brother like we cavalierly use the word, I’m talking about a real friend, a real brother,” Diddy said. “Somebody I shared my dreams and my secrets with, somebody that’s been there for me at my lowest point, my darkest hour when nobody wanted to be beside me.”
But he also told jokes as he recounted his “bromance” with the rapper, including a recent visit to Miami that was supposed to last for three days, but “turned into three weeks.” He added that Heavy D got to know his chef “very well.”
Sharpton?
"James Brown made us black and proud; (Heavy D) made us fat and proud.”.
Really nothing more can follow that one.
RIP
