Hundreds of mourners have paid their respects to slain rapper Dolla, who was buried in a traditional Muslim ceremony on Saturday.

The 21-year-old rising star, real name Roderick Anthony Burton II, was shot in the head outside L.A.'s Beverly Center mall on Monday. He died later that day in hospital.

Family, friends and fans gathered for the funeral at the Word of Faith Love Center in Dolla's hometown of Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday afternoon to pay tribute to the late star, according to Allhiphop.com.

The traditional burial ceremony came after a small, private wake on Friday which was held at a funeral home in the city and attended by stars including Dolla's Konvict Muzik labelmate Ray Lavender and Smallville actor Sam Jones III.

Aubrey Berry, 23, from Atlanta, Georgia, has pleaded not guilty to the hip-hop star's murder and remains in custody on $5 million bail.
