Crenshaw native Nipsey Hussle was shot and killed in broad daylight in the parking lot outside his store in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon.
The 33-year-old rapper was shot six times outside of The Marathon Clothing Company in the Hyde Park neighborhood. Two employees were also wounded. Moments before the shooting, he posted a cryptic tweet; “Having strong enemies is a blessing.”
The Grammy-nominated artist is survived by two kids and wife Lauren London. Before his passing, Nipsey was working on a documentary about Honduran herbalist and self-proclaimed healer, Dr. Sebi.
Fasho Thoughts:
- Rest in power, Nip.
- He was one those rare artists who was respected by both the industry and the streets.
- Despite being a prominent member of the Rollin 60s Crip set, he had friends on both sides — like YG and The Game.
- Nipsey’s $100 a copy Crenshaw mixtape helped put him on the map back in 2013.
- Nipsey did so much for the community.
