According to Port Arthur police, rap superstars Jay Z and Snoop Dogg have decided to pass on attending the funeral of the legend Houston rapper Pimp C today.
The rappers had planned to be among the thousands paying their respects to the deceased rapper who influenced both of their careers. Their reasons for not attending are known only to them, but police sources say Jay Z and Snoop were told the city would not provide extra security to them and the rappers may not want to be inconvenienced by the large turnout.
That’s a shame because they would attend a music video shoot or a club grand opening in a heartbeat. But paying respect to a fallen brother is obviously not worth their precious time. There’s no bottle poppin’ or makin’ it rain at a funeral.
Pimp C’s funeral will take place at the Bob Bowers Civic Center at 11 a.m. The rapper will then be buried at Greenlawn Cemetery. Pimp C died last week of natural causes. He was 33.
