This past weekend (January 4, 2014) T.I. stopped by to pay his repects at the funeral of Grand Hustle Rapper Doe B.. The young man was tragically shot and killed on Dec. 28 in Montgomery, Alabama while at Montgomery’s Centennial Hill Bar & Grill.
The rappers whose real name was Glenn Thomas funeral services were held at True Divine Baptist Church on Troy Highway in Montgomery, Alabama.
T.I. had these words to say about the Grand Hustle signee:
“I admired Doe, because as a young man, at the age that he was, he always presented himself to be more mature. It’s very rare that you can find somebody at the age of 20-21 and sit them down in front of somebody that they aspire to be like and they are composed and poised and postured,” T.I. said of Doe B. “…It’s very rare that you find somebody at the age of 20 or 21 and you could walk them into the room with a Nelly, or you could walk them into a room with a Timbaland or Jay Z, and they not lose their cool, they’re composed, postured, with the morals, standards, principles — and the principles that were instilled in him from his family, his mom, his dad, grandmama, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles…”
Police have made a few arrest in the case, although this is an ongoing investigation.
The picture below of the slain rapper’s daughter went viral and is so heart breaking.
