Far Rockaway rapper Lionel “Chinx” Pickens was tragically gunned down in his silver Porsche early Sunday morning, leaving behind his children, wife, family, close friends and a huge fan-base that has been die-hard fans of his music since he first emerged onto the music scene. His wake and funeral arrangements have been announced and are free to the public to pay respects, along with info on where to donate money to his family in honor of the slain Coke Boys artist. As we could only imagine, his family is devastated that they not only lost someone so dear to their heart, but also their main source of income, putting them in an extremely rough situation. They are asking that instead of sending flowers, money donations are sent to help pay for the funeral and to assist them in their future difficult journey without Chinx.

Below is a message sent out by Chinx’s family and management team and is the ONLY official fundraising campaign:
As you can imagine, in today’s challenging economic climate, losing your primary source of income can be devastating. When that loss is due to the unexpected death, it leaves a void that can never truly be filled.
Instead of sending flowers, please consider helping the family fill part of the financial void. Your donations will help provide much needed financial stability to a family who deserves so much more than what they have been dealt. We cannot replace the warmth, charisma, wit, charm, and love that Chinx gave to not only his family, and friends, but also, his fans. We can however, help keep them focused on what really matters, and that is each other.
On behalf of the Pickens family, Mungin family and Four Kings Management, we thank you all for your love and support.
