(Video) Watch Deceased Rapper Lil Peep’s Long Beach Memorial Service
Fans, friends, and family came together Saturday to celebrate the life of Lil Peep, who tragically died of a suspected overdose on Nov. 15.
The memorial service—which took place in Long Beach, New York—began with a speech by Lil Peep’s grandmother Jenny Kastner (32-minute mark). She told the crowd she received a lot of encouraging messages from the rapper’s fans and that she was “very touched by how many of them really [understood] him.” Kastner went on to read a couple of fan letters, the first of which praised Lil Peep (real name Gus Ahr) for being so open and accessible to his fanbase. The second message focused on the rapper’s uniqueness and influence on the world.
