Gucci Mane’s wife Keyshia Ka’Oir has attested to her husband paying for the funeral of his New 1017 Records signee Big Scarr, who died from an accidental overdose on December 22.
The claim from Ka’Oir comes after Gucci was accused by the late rapper’s close friend and collaborator Quezz Ruthless of stiffing Scarr’s family over his funeral costs.
“You say to them you finna pay for the funeral, then you lie,” Quezz said in a recent Instagram Live. “You didn’t have to lie! You ain’t have to go ghost either, cuh. It was gonna get paid for either way. You could’ve just said you ain’t have the money. You don’t get no type of respect for that, cuh.”
He added: “The minute that them folks called yo phone to see if you gon’ pay for the funeral, you blocked them. That’s not real, cuh. You ain’t straight. You only trying to act all real. You posted Scarr talking ’bout some long live — bruh, you ain’t do nothing, cuh.
“When they texted you and asked you about Scarr’s funeral, cuh, you told them folks that Keyshia’s birthday coming up. Man, y’all rich! Y’all can celebrate her birthday any day. Come on now, cuh.”
Scarr’s sister, Alexandra Woods, also accosted Gucci Mane on social media for allegedly failing to keep his funeral promise. She also claimed he demanded Scarr’s 1017 chains back after his death.
However, Ka’Oir took to her Instagram Story to share two receipts from N.J. Ford & Sons Funeral Home totaling $20,000, with Gucci’s wife writing that everyone should just “leave her husband alone,” and that the payment was made directly to the funeral home.
“20k total @laflare1017 what u did to these folks man,” she wrote before adding in a separate post: “We also sent flowers & not even a thank u” along with a breaking heart emoji.
Big Scarr (real name Alexander Woods) was at his girlfriend’s home in his native Memphis when he died after ingesting a lethal amount of prescription pills. It’s unclear what medication was taken specifically, nor whether the drugs had been prescribed to Scarr.
The 22-year-old rapper was recently laid to rest in Memphis. Fellow rappers NLE Choppa and BigWalkDog were among those in attendance, but Gucci Mane didn’t show.
“You knew not to show up at that funeral,” Quezz added during his Instagram Live. “Even if you would came, you were gonna get stomped at the door. Come on now, fool.”
Gucci Mane, who mourned Big Scarr’s death on social media at the time of his passing, has yet to respond to the allegations.
