Always the open book, Tech N9ne decided to share a personal story with his Instagram followers a few days ago.  He said that it was taking a ridiculously long time for his mother’s headstone to be finished and placed at her burial site.  It was his intention to have it there for her birthday, but it didn’t look like it was going to happen.  On the day of her birthday last year (October 26th, 2015), he was scheduled to do an autograph signing, but wasn’t feeling it.  See how his day got turned around with the help of some great friends.

From Tech N9ne’s Instagram:

So this is the story! I paid for the funeral then time went pass, then my family let me know that the funeral home some how didn’t include the headstone even though I paid a crazy amount so for almost a year my mom had no headstone. I was furious! So my aim was to get it produced perfectly before her last birthday which was October 26 2015! The people makin it took so long tryin to perfect it that when October 26th came, it was in route, but not placed so the family could go say happy birthday! I was crushed all day but in the evening I was scheduled to go sign autographs at this Lawyers home that Travis knew so he scheduled me to go sign for an hr.for the Lawyers kids for a Halloween celebration. I was so not in the mood so I put on a all black K.O.D. Shroud style when Trav picked me up at my old Lees Summit home! We got to the mansion, the Lawyer and his wife greeted us at the door, I walked in like WOAH this is beautiful and soooo my style cause of the Tuscan style Trav and I LOVE so much! As I was headed to the basement I could hear a gang of voices like a huge party so I got my self in gear to be rushed by a gang of young children. As I went further down the stair case, I noticed familiar faces like people I worked with but didn’t live in kc like OG Mugs, our Lawyer Bob, Dave, etc etc I’m like wtf is going on then Trav put the key on my shoulder like this is the house you wanted! I fuckin died! I had forgot that b4 my Canadian tour I sent him this house to his email and THIS wonderful guy,,,, the rest is history! On my moms bday I got my new home and the headstone arrived the next day on the 27th! So here I am today smiling at her saying thank you before I hit studio! I love you Mama! See the intro to SHROUD to hear my frustration for not being able to find her due to no headstone. T9!
