Rapper Dolla's funeral is taking place today at 1pm at Murray Brothers Funeral Home in Atlanta. This is the last chance for friends and family to say goodbye before the rapper is finally laid to rest.

Arrangements for the funeral are being prepared by the rapper’s sisters Divinity Burton, 22, and Sadenicole Burton, 20, says reports.

Dolla, real name Roderick Anthony Burton, was shot Monday May 18th by Aubrey Louis Berry at the Beverly Center in Los Angeles, because he said he feared for his life and that's why he had to shoot Dolla.

Mr. Berry claimed that Dolla and two other men were following him to his car and that's when he shot the rapper fatally.

EBK may god bless you. It's a shame you can even hate a man in death. That was a person that you are talking about. You know what there is no need to respond to ignorance there is a hating person on every message board i go on. People like that are not happy with themselves and got issues so they judge and hate on everyone elses life because it makes them feel big. EBK you are a joke. And your last comment did not make any sense???????????????????

Dolla Rest In Paridise! You are in better place, it is just so sad that you had to go so soon. You are in a place where you will not be judged. It really breaks my heart. Everyone is put on this earth for a purpose and you brought so much happiness to your family, friends and fans. Please Know that you will not be forgotten.
