WASHINGTON (TND) - A rapper named Goonew, who was reportedly shot to death, attended his own memorial at a nightclub on Sunday.
The sight apparently caused quite the controversy, even more so when pictures of the event were spread around online.
Born Markelle Marrow, Goonew was killed on March 18 by an unknown assailant in District Heights, Maryland, according to police. He was 24 years old at the time of his death.
His body was reportedly released to a funeral home following an autopsy, but fans were shocked to see him standing on stage at his own memorial event on April 3.
The event was held at the "Bliss" nightclub in Washington D.C. and called "The Last Show." Goonew's body was reportedly propped upright on stage, wearing a crown, sneakers, jeans, and an Amiri hoodie.
According to popular hip hop magazine XXL, a rapper going by the name "Black Fortune" posted clips of Goonew's body on his Instagram account.
Apparently many event-goers were confused by Goonew's appearance, and some wondered if it was a wax figure instead of his actual dead body. Black Fortune cleared up that misconception.

Rapper looks thrilled to be there.
I see that they have the pyrotechnics going apparently they never heard of the Station nightclub fire..
I think it would be nice to be stuffed instead of buried or cremated.
They can be wheeled out for holidays, etc..
Dude not groovin’ to the music. Not even a twitch.
I was thinking the same thing.
‘Well you would be surprised at the people doing the kinds of things.’
El Cid won a war doing it...
‘Proping up the body to party with you is and old school white people thing’
sprinkle a little whiskey on the body and it comes alive, saying, ‘T’underin Jaysus, do ye think I’m dead...?’
” turns out he was a pretty good rapper “
Is there such a thing? “GOOD” rap?
I don’t think so.
It doesn’t matter that its vulgar, disgusting, violent, requires ZERO musical talent, its “OURS!”
We be doin dis and we be doin dat.
Rap, rap, rap, they call him the rapper
