The Shade Room revealed that the funeral service was broadcasted through the rapper's official website.
Atlanta City celebrated September 17 as Rich Homie Quan Memorial Day to pay tribute to the artist's contribution. Several other artists, including Killer Mike, DC Young Fly, and Stephen Jackson went up the stage to deliver their speeches.
