Goonew funeral: Shocking clip shows people partying next to dead rapper's 'standing' CORPSE

'If y’all saw that video with goonew’s body y’all can’t tell me this society ain’t already collapsed,' a Twitter user said

Shocking footage of a bizarre funeral has been doing rounds on the Internet, showing the body of Goonew propped up for display while people partied. The rapper was killed in March in Maryland and while his death shook his fans, the latest clips from his apparent funeral 'party' at Bliss nightclub in Washington DC on Sunday, April 3, has left his fans “disgusted”.

Viral videos and images show what appears to be the remains of the DMV rapper in a standing position at the event. However, there was no official confirmation about whether the body was actually his mummified corpse or a mannequin. The figure that was seen standing had one hand in his pocket and was dressed in ripped pants, a dark blue Amiri sweater with sneakers and had accessories like a watch and a crown.

The pictures and clips available online also showed attendees waving their hands while another rapper performed. Speculation about the bizzare incident indicated that the funeral was actually organized by his family. But netizens expressed their shock about such a macabre send off. One fan remarked, "this is hands down the strangest funeral that’s ever been processed."

Another user tweeted: “no way goonew mama approved that shit that’s so sad & disrespectful.” The second one wrote: “if y’all saw that video with goonew’s body y’all can’t tell me this society ain’t already collapsed.”

“The owner of bliss needs to hire a pastor and an imam to cleanse that hoe . Because that shit is insane . I get that the family could’ve wants that . But I wouldn’t have any that kind of energy at my establishment #Goonew,” a third fan noted.

A person tweeted, “If my dead body ever put up in da club just know my family hated me. Some evil shit…… and mane I KNOW it musta smelt hella crazy in there. Y’all are sick sick people fr lol classless. #Goonew.” Another one said, “that shit sad asl like how y’all comfortable partying round his lifeless body :( so sad  #Goonew.” A tweet read: “the clip of goonew just standing up in the club while being dead is so disturbing bro stop cycling that vid.” “On god if y’all ever prop my body up in a club like y’all did #Goonew I’m not haunting y’all I’m hunting you mfs down one by one. DC is one of the most disappointing places in the country dawg,” another tweet added.

There were a few people, though, who seemed to support the event as one of them said: “ik people are freaking out about the goonew club thing but ! sometimes people will host the funeral for the deceased doing their favorite activity. it is usually only hosted at home with close family and friends but can be hosted at bars, restaurants and clubs per family request.” Another one tweeted: “He was a RAPPER. They do stuff like this completely out the box. It’s his wishes not ours. What’s normal isn’t always wanted. We gotta respect that. #Goonew #RIP.” “Aight i let yall get yall jokes off last night but im really curious...are yall clout chasing with these jokes or are yall seriously uncultured?? What they did for Goonew is pretty common ..nd its not the 1st time we seen it on Twitter.” “if y’all didn’t know Goonew, y’all really shouldn’t be speaking on what he wanted or didn’t want. Honestly it’s not even anyones place to be speaking on his family’s decision,” a user added.

After Goonew’s death last month, his mother had said: “He had a heart bigger than his body, when they took him, they took me.” The 29-year-old was reportedly going to give his sister her birthday present when he was shot dead. “They took his chain. They took his watch. He gave it up and they still shot him in his back,” his mother added at the time.
