The XXX Tentacion funeral occurred on June 27th, 2018 at the BB&T arena in Sunrise, Florida. This is what happened at the open casket public service funeral for the slain rapper. This is for all his fans who couldn’t make the funeral.

X’s mourners arrived at the arena on a very hot Florida day, waiting one hour outside in the heat (no shade) and up to four hours in total. Many wore black but some wore shorts.

There was a strict and 100 percent enforced policy: no video, recording devices or phones allowed. The family (unconfirmed) likely wanted to control any media of such a private and personal event. Not surprising after the fiasco outside the motorcycle shop when he was slain.

There were armed Broward County Gang Task Force cops everywhere screening entrants and managing the crowd. Once inside, mourners waited in a long line. It moved slowly towards a downward slope depositing fans onto the floor of the arena. A winding line lead up towards the casket and those inside could see the casket but not in great detail from afar. X’s music played in both the arena and in the hallway. A small video played on a continuous loop.

People waited about two hours once on the floor to get near the casket. The mood inside was somber, some cried, some sang, a few wailed, most waited patiently. Nearing the casket, two large video screens were on each side of the stage. Escorted towards a stage, mourners were allowed approximately thirty seconds to pay their respects to the deceased.
