It’s been a week after the untimely death of Alabama rapper Doe B and his funeral service was held yesterday (Jan. 4th) in his hometown of Montgomery, Alabama. According to news by the Montgomery Advertiser, separate services were held in the same venue for both Doe B and another victim of the shooting, Kimberle Johnson. In addition to Doe B’s mother speaking at the funeral service, his manager, DJ Frank White, and T.I. both eulogized the 22-year-old emcee at the service.
“I knew how much love the city and state had for him,” his manager DJ Frank White reportedly said. “They saw the bright future he had.”
Speaking to a packed crowd, T.I., who signed Doe B to Grand Hustle, eulogized the rapper. “I’m up here to celebrate the life of a young man whose path I crossed a little over a year ago,” he said. “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 could find somebody at the age of 20 or 21 and sit them down in front of somebody they aspire to be like and they are as composed and poised and postured and looking eye to eye with this person. 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, and the principles that were instilled in him from his family, his mom, his dad, grandmama, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles.”
