Memorial Statements

His death was confirmed by an employee of a DI -Dzhey servant on Wednesday (March 5), who shared in a video on Instagram: “I myself did not want to say anything until he officially received a word from his family. I saw how many people are publishing misinformation – I did not want to say anything until I received an official word from his family. DJ Funk has passed … It’s great to send your prayers and condolences, but let the family grieve. Let them cope with the loss of their loved one.”

“They have plans to do something big in Chicago. Now he is in Georgia, but as soon as the family is ready to grieve and has a plan to show some love, I will definitely come back here and update you on what is happening,” the servant continued.

“This is just madness … This is a really sad day. This is an offensive moment for me … We all came from the ghetto world. To this day, the music we created is not respected globally. To this day, people still ask, ‘What is ghetto house?’ As if we hadn’t made our mark in the world at all.”
