Burna Boy Covering Funeral Costs for Stockton Shooting Victims Killed at 2-Year-Old's Bday Party
Burna Boy had his emotions spiked after hearing about the mass shooting that destroyed a 2-year-old's birthday party last weekend in Stockton, California ... and he's stepping up to foot the bill for all 4 of the deceased victims.
The Afrobeats giant says he was taking in the story from "The Breakfast Club" and immediately reached out to Wack 100 ... who, in turn, connected him with Hollywood Unlocked's Jason Lee, who also serves as vice mayor of his hometown of Stockton.
NEW: Stockton, CA, vice mayor reminds residents that it's "never been gangster" to kill kids after three children were killed at a birthday party.

Officials now say the incident at a family gathering was due to "group gang violence."

Lee lashed out at the unidentified shooters, telling the Associated Press it's never been considered "gangsta" in the streets to assassinate children, and Burna Boy agreed and offered to pay for all the funerals. It's the very least he can do, considering the lifetime of pain the parents face ahead.
