On Tuesday May 26th, mourners packed the Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral in Queens to say their final goodbyes to rapper Chinx.
Celebration of life for Rapper Chinx
Mourners including French Montana filled the church to pay their respects at the open brown casket where the 31-year-old rapper, born Lionel Pickens, lay dressed in a gray suit and surrounded by white roses.
His widow, Janelli Caceres, wore white jeans and a white shirt with the words “R.I.P. Baby Chinx” on the back.
According to the New York Daily News, two large screens displayed photos of Chinx in happier days. He was described as a “jokester” who “influenced many with his music and his drive to get to the top of the hip hop industry.”
Choking back tears, the rapper’s manager told mourners he would “keep his legacy alive.” “His goal and his intention was to leave a mark and he’s done that,” said Doug Ellison.
Fatal shooting
Pickens and a fellow Coke boy member were in a silver Porsche on Queens Blvd. near 84th Drive in Briarwood when a gunman pulled up beside them and opened fire, police said. Shot multiple times, Pickens was pronounced dead at Jamaica Hospital. His friend, Antar (Yemen Chee$e) Alziadi, 27, was wounded but survived.
Details still remain grim as no motive has yet to be released.
Until Next Time. My Brother. @chinxmusic #RestPeacefully.
