WASHINGTON (TND) - A rapper named Goonew, who was reportedly shot to death, attended his own memorial at a nightclub on Sunday.

The sight apparently caused quite the controversy, even more so when pictures of the event were spread around online.

Born Markelle Marrow, Goonew was killed on March 18 by an unknown assailant in District Heights, Maryland, according to police. He was 24 years old at the time of his death.

His body was reportedly released to a funeral home following an autopsy, but fans were shocked to see him standing on stage at his own memorial event on April 3.

The event was held at the "Bliss" nightclub in Washington D.C. and called "The Last Show." Goonew's body was reportedly propped upright on stage, wearing a crown, sneakers, jeans, and an Amiri hoodie.

According to popular hip hop magazine XXL, a rapper going by the name "Black Fortune" posted clips of Goonew's body on his Instagram account.

Apparently many event-goers were confused by Goonew's appearance, and some wondered if it was a wax figure instead of his actual dead body. Black Fortune cleared up that misconception.

Yes.

I heard a radio person of Irish descent discussing this soon after it happened.. This was apparently something that was done frequently in the old days Ireland.

Not my taste, but if someone wants to do it, I have no problem with it. But they should have told the nightclub ahead of time, and told the attendees what would take place.

(I think the whole thing of embalming and burying people is kind of barbaric - but what’s the difference if he’s standing up, or lying in a coffin?)

It seems that Markelle Marrow was bad to the bone.

You could see folks in the club trying not to be totally freaked out and disgusted. I personally wanted to see the Casket Dancers carry him out.

Apologize for what, they knew what they were doing. If you’ve seen Lawless, it’s nothing new.

“Typical of the classlessness of those persuasion.”

An Irish singer made a reference to those saying, “We are the __________s of Europe.”
