Harlem, NY – Former Bad Boy Records artist Black Rob was laid to rest at Harlem’s Methodist Baptist Church on Friday (April 30). Among the many in attendance was Hip Hop mogul Diddy but contrary to what was demonstrated on social media and partly in Black Rob’s inner circle, the Bad Boys founder was welcomed with open arms.
At one particular point during the service, one of Black Rob’s close friends got up to say a few words and vehemently defended Diddy, putting an almost awkward spotlight on the man.

He been there from zero day. Puff always been there. So shame on y’all if y’all in there talking bad about him. He always helped Rob. Even when we done already Rob done blew through the money like, ‘Rob, how you went through all this money?’ ‘I don’t know but call Puff.’ Alrigh

So now you gonna pay for his funeral, he dead and gone now! Everybody wanna do something for you when you are dead and gone!
