Radio station V-103 reported that Rev. Jesse Curney, III, Senior Pastor of New Mercies Christian Church, will officiate the ceremony, delivering the eulogy for the Migos rapper.
“I plan to remember him as the young man that I saw growing up in the church who loved being with his family, who loved coming to worship, and the times when he made it to church with his busy schedule, he still came as just a regular worshiper, and one who showed love to fans,” the pastor told Atlanta station WAOK.

Therefore to remember his love that he shared for everyone and gave to everyone; that’s the person I know, and that’s the person I can speak of.”
