The rapper's mother revealed that the family couldn't afford to cover his funeral, estimated at $52,000, so they want to take the money out of his estate. However, they can't access his assets without a court order.

Drakeo's mom, who claimed she couldn't even afford a coffin for the late "Betchua" rapper, is asking the court to allow her to take part of her son's wealth in order to give him a memorial "full of dignity, style, and grace."

She is asking that the court order be granted ASAP as she needs money to quickly secure a spot with funeral homes amid the increase in COVID-19 deaths.
