Lil Keed Memorial Vigil Blocked By City Of Forest Park Georgia

Lil Keed died on May 13th, just days after Young Thug, Gunna, Unfook, Lil Duke, Yak Gotti and other YSL labelmates were charged on RICO charges. His family recently planned to hold a memorial vigil to honor the late rapper. The vigil organized by Lil Keed’s family and friends was denied by city officials.

Because of the primary election and other safety concerns, the city of Forest Park informed them that they did not believe it would be a good idea to have the vigil in Starr Park. AllHipHop reported the city’s statement recently.

Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to his family, friends, and all those who have been impacted by this unfortunate loss.

Despite recent reports in the media and in light of several upcoming events — including next week’s very important general primary election — the city has decided not to issue a special permit for a vigil to be held at Starr Park on Tuesday, May 24th.
