Young Scooter Laid To Rest At Atlanta Funeral
Young Scooter has been laid to rest in Atlanta, just over one week after he passed from a fatal injury to his leg.
The late rapper’s homegoing ceremony took place at Saint Philip AME Church on Monday (April 7), and it was full of friends, family and supporters celebrating his life.
Scooter’s teen son wore a new chain dedicated to his dad, which includes his picture inside a gold book that’s flooded with diamonds.
He will be buried later this week in his hometown of Walterboro, South Carolina.
An autopsy confirmed that Young Scooter (real name Kenneth Bailey) died from an injury to his leg caused when he was attempting to jump a fence while fleeing the police.

“Mr. Bailey sustained a penetrating injury of his right thigh that created marked blood loss,” the report reads. “This injury was not a gunshot wound.”
The autopsy contradicts conspiracy theories that had begun to circulate online that the 39-year-old rapper had been fatally shot by cops.
The police’s presence were a result of a 911 call that has now been confirmed as a hoax – resulting in the caller’s subsequent arrest.
Demetria Spence, better known as Baddies contestant Demi Blanco, was arrested by Atlanta police on April 1 and charged with transmitting a false public alarm that caused “serious bodily harm or death.”
She was later released on a $7500 bond.
Speaking on Instagram Live before her arrest, Spence claimed there is more to the story and that she called because she was being abused.
However, her call said something completely different – as she claimed that she had just witnessed a naked woman being dragged out of the house and attacked by at least one male.
“It sounded like they were fighting over drugs,” she says. “The girl is hurt. She was bleeding profusely from her head […] She’s trying to get away and she’s being held hostage.”
She also claimed to be “neighborhood watch,” then alleged that a shooting broke out: “She had someone come over there and they started shooting.”
She also raised concerns about child endangerment, claiming that the female victim “has a baby,” and said she has long suspected that the house was a drug den or home to a prostitution ring.
But when police officers arrived at the property, however, they did not find any evidence of the disturbing scene described in the call, according to TMZ.
