Dead rapper’s weeks-old corpse propped up on display during bizarre, disturbing nightclub appearance
The body of a slain rapper was propped up in a lurid D.C. nightclub display billed as his “last show” on Sunday night.
Maryland rapper Goonew, whose real name is Markelle Morrow, was gunned down on March 18.
Bliss nightclub in Washington, D.C., issued a statement on the incident after video footage of the disturbing wake made waves on the internet.
“Our deepest condolences to Goonew’s family, friends and fans,” the venue wrote in a Monday night statement. “Bliss was contacted by a local funeral home to rent out our venue for Goonew’s home-going celebration.
“Bliss was never made aware of what would transpire. We sincerely apologize to all those who may be upset or offended,” the statement added. “Please keep Goonew’s family and friends in your prayers at this difficult time.”
The video showed Morrow’s body, which was clad in jeans, a $750 hooded sweatshrt, glasses, and a crown, propped up on a stage next to the club’s DJ booth as attendees danced, cheered, and snapped photos at the bizarre event. – READ MORE
