Earlier this week, family, friends, and celebrities said their final goodbyes to rapper Chinx Drugz, attending his funeral and wake. MStars News previously reported that Chinx, a.k.a. Lionel Pickens, was gunned down on May 17, 2015 while driving a Porsche in Queens. The rapper's wife, the now widowed Janelli Pickens revealed that she and her kids were having a hard time following the death of Chinx.
"It is a hard time, we are going through a lot," Pickens previously stated in a news interview. "It's a very devastating situation, his kids are greatly affected by all this. They don't quite understand, but it will hit them soon. For his son, who doesn't understand why God's angels have come and taken his father, he just wants to know when he's going to bring him back, and it's hard, it's very hard. A lot of people don't understand that this was his life, was his family."
The rapper's life was cut short, leaving behind mourning loved ones. According to The Source, the Pickens family, the Mungin family, and Four Kings Management's Doug Ellison created a GoFundMe account that covered the rapper's funeral costs.
The Wake and Funeral was held on Tuesday, May 26th at The Greater Allen A.M.E Cathedral of New York, 110-31 Merrick Blvd, Jamaica N.Y.
The program below was in remembrance of Chinx and read:
On Angel’s Wings
On Angel’s Wings you were taken away, but in my heart you will always stay.
I will hear your whisper in the tallest feel your love in the gentle breeze.
And when I find I miss you the most, inside our beautiful memories I will hold you close.
You are an Angel watching over me with the comfort and blessing you bring, you embrace my heart and hold it close, Forever on Angel’s Wings.
The kind words by written by Crailin Hardy.

It appears that Chinx's rumored girlfriend, Malika Haqq also came to the rapper's funeral. In the photo below, she wrote: "Send prayers up and watch Blessings come down," as she was on a flight, probably traveling to the funeral.

One follower of Malika supported Khloe Kardashian's friend and hoped she would be attending the funeral.
kole.wrld "I pray that you went to his funeral to show respect for HIM because at the end of the day that's would it was about everyone is grown and everyone knew what they were doing don't let the media take away you and his friendship just because he's no longer physically here. F*ck what everyone has to say... Like @dani_j5 said his family saw the same sh*t we did.. When someone passed a person always looks for a reason to be angry a reason to display anger ... YOU ARE NOT THAT they should be angry with his killer not his friend"
