A video that dropped on X this morning has the internet doing double-takes and debating whether this is peak disrespect or just how some people send off their own.
The clip shows what looks like the graveside service for a Black woman who worked as a stripper. Instead of a quiet moment of reflection, mourners, mostly women in colorful dresses, tight outfits, and party-ready looks, are leaning over the open grave and hurling stacks of dollar bills straight into the hole. The grave itself is already half-covered in flowers and scattered cash. Phones are out recording the whole thing like it’s a highlight reel.
One woman in a pink fringed dress steps up, another in white leans in tossing bills while someone else films from the side. Green artificial turf lines the edges, flowers are piled up, and money is flying like it’s amateur night at the club, except the “stage” is six feet under.
One commenter immediately asked the real question: “What are the odds on who waits until everyone leaves before jumping down there and getting that cash?” Another noted the physiques of some of the women involved. A third chimed in that this felt like behavior you see elsewhere and questioned assimilation. Others defended it as “culture” or pointed out that plenty of funerals have turned into celebrations in different communities.
Look, funerals hit different depending on where you’re from. Some groups treat them like somber goodbyes. Others turn them into full send-offs with music, food, and energy. But straight-up making it rain on a grave? That’s a new one for most people.
Whoever she was, she’s got people talking about her funeral more than most celebrities get. That’s one hell of a final headline.
