PnB Meen

PnB Rock ‘s family, XXXTentacion’s mother, Cleopatra Bernard, and his other loved ones came together for the late rapper’s funeral. The “Alone” MC, who passed away on September 12, was laid to rest at the Khadijah Alderman Funeral Home on 1924 W. Hunting Park Avenue. The service was ran in a Muslim custom.

The Muslim custom in question is called Janazah. This practice involves the deceased person being buried 24 hours into their passing. For instance, when PnB’s mother heard of his passing, she demanded the medical examiner release his body to abide by Janazah.

Unfortunately, the examiner refused, which led them to get into a heated argument. The fight was so intense that the police had to calm the situation. By Friday, his body was reportedly prepared to be released.

Los Angeles officials also caused some trouble for the family in retrieving PnB Rock’s body.

His brother, PnB Meen, wrote via Instagram:

“We have been having trouble getting my brother back to Philadelphia. The state of Los Angeles claims they have some laws against us as Muslims. So now I have no clue when his Janazah is. It’s not right, yo. It’s goin on for a week. Prayers up. I got you, bro, and your daughters.”

Due to all the complications, his funeral happened a week later. The service sheet has a photo of PnB Rock with the phrase: “In Loving Memory of Rakim Allen, December 9, 1991 – September 12, 2022.” It also has a copy of the Janazah prayer.

PnB Rock, who died last week, was shot and killed at Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles’ South Los Angeles restaurant.

A Los Angeles Times rep spoke to the Los Angeles Police Department’s Captain Kelly Muniz that when the shooter entered the restaurant, he took out a firearm and demanded the rapper hand over his jewelry.

Muniz explained, “He shot the victim and ran out the side door to a getaway car and then fled the parking lot.”

The shooter hasn’t been identified and allegedly fled the restaurant in a getaway car. Police are currently investigating potential enemies and surveillance footage from inside Roscoe’s and near closeby businesses so they can find more clues about the shooter.

PnB Rock tragically passed away earlier this month (Sep 12). Since the shooting, authorities have begun investigating the crime. Unfortunately, this has caused some friction with the PA rapper’s family. According to anonymous sources, PnB Rock’s mother requested to have her son’s body immediately for religious purposes.

However, the Los Angeles medical examiner could not give up PnB Rock’s body due to an ongoing homicide investigation. Rock’s younger brother PnB Meen subsequently took to Instagram to further elaborate on the issue.

“We been Having trouble getting My brothers back to Philadelphia,” PnB Meen typed. “The state of Los Angeles Claiming they Have some type of Law, goin against ours As Muslims. Now I have no clue when his Janazah It’s not right yo it’s goin on a week.”

Clearly, this is just salt on the wound for an already grieving family.

The Fight For PnB Rock

For those who practice the Muslim faith, a Janazah is a meaningful ceremony that must occur within 72 hours following someone’s death.

Sources told TMZ Rock’s mother flew to la from Philly to identify her son’s body and get it back home for the Janazah. During the meeting in the medical examiner’s office, tensions apparently got so high the LAPD had to be called to prevent any physical altercation. In addition, performing an autopsy goes against PnB Rocks’ faith and was done against his mother’s wishes. Of course, the autopsy is a vital part of the criminal investigation.

Since then, the medical examiner has released an official autopsy report. The report states PnB rock died from a gunshot wound to his back and chest and finalized it as a homicide. Despite all the behind-the-scenes drama with authorities And family, the medical examiner’s office has wrapped up its process and has given permission for funeral proceedings to begin.

It’s unknown if the body is under the family’s custody currently. However, funeral processions should be coming soon since the medical examiner’s office reported that they’ve been ready for the switch since Friday.
