50 Cent Reportedly Pays For Slain Teen’s Funeral Procession

D'Aja Robinson - Funeral - 50 Cent

Queens teenager D’aja “Asia” Robinson was killed while riding a New York City bus, a victim of a barrage of bullets shot into the side of the bus.

The story is tragic. The sadness felt in the Queens community is real, and unfortunately, nothing new. It’s not just Sandy Hook. It’s not just Chicago. This happens too often, in too many places in America.

Queens native 50 Cent is said to have attended the funeral and paid for the funeral procession. This is a kind gesture by an artist and businessman who often helps his home community, and engages in other philanthropic endeavors.

Bet you it won’t get as much coverage as a rapper getting arrested though.

In any event, shouts to 50 Cent.

Mayoral race coming up in NYC. As a hip hop generation, it will be important to come together and show the strength of our numbers, and impress upon any candidate how much we want this kind of bullshit to stop.

R.I.P. Asia.
