Wyclef, Fat Joe, 50 Cent And Many Others Attend Chris Lighty Funeral

Not everyone knew Chris Lighty while he was alive, but that was because he was in the background. He made it possible for a lot of the rappers/artists you know today to make millions in endorsement deals as their manager. Prodigy, LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes, 50 Cent, Fat Joe, Soulja Boy and many more at one time or the other benefited from his management skills.

To your right is his picture. He was found dead in his apartment last week with a self-inflicted gun-shot wound to the head. People close to him say he was a strong man, and that they don't believe he was the type to think suicide, but we never know. I guess we never really know what people are going through.






Lauryn Hill, Fat Joe, 50 Cent, Russell Simmons, Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks, LL Cool J, Wyclef, Nick Canon, and a  host of others were at the Funeral grounds in Manhattan yesterday afternoon to pay their respect to Chris Lighty, the man behind Violator Management. You can check out pics from the funeral below.
