Murphy shared a video where he joked that he didn't want the funeral to have the 'Beverly Hills Cop' theme music playing at the event to make people "smile."
He reproduced his acapella version of the jingle and said it should be played when he is being buried, reports people.com.
"It's just a joke, because I'm never doing a funeral," he clarified in the video.
Murphy further explained his preference: "I mean, I'm going to die like everybody else. But (my loved ones) know...no funeral. Just let me go quietly."
The actor was promoting his latest film 'Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F', the fourth installment of the action-comedy franchise, which released on July 3.
In the film, Murphy returns as Axel Foley, a policeman who returns to Beverly Hills after his daughter's life is threatened, marking a return to the role after a decade since the third film.
Murphy quips that he has been asked how he feels about playing "the Black James Bond" and to anyone who asks him, he says: "I don't need to be some Black James Bond. "I have Axl Foley, and he has the theme music and everything."
Following the success of 'Beverly Hills Cop' and its sequels, the Oscar-nominated star starred in the 1998 classic 'Coming to America'. The sequel, 'Coming 2 America', was released in 2021.
In 1996, he was seen playing the role of Professor Sherman Klump in 'The Nutty Professor'.
After this, Murphy was called 'Dr.' Seen in. Dolittle' plays the lead character in the franchise, who can talk to animals. Most recently, Murphy voiced Shrek's companion Donkey in four 'Shrek' films.
