Everything
The world is in shock as rapper, businessman and philanthropist Nipsey Hussle was tragically killed in a shooting on Sunday afternoon. Far more than the tough exterior he is fronted with, the Grammy-nominated artist’s life ended in front of his Marathon Clothing Store in Los Angeles, with two others also wounded.
A figurehead who escaped from the “hood’, Hussle dedicated his life to his children, music and charity work and on Sunday, fans and well-wishers gathered around the crime scene, many of whom were reported to be crying. In a report by NBC News, the suspect still remains at large. Hours before the crime, the 33-year-old tweeted, “Having strong enemies is a blessing,” make this case even more mysterious.
Having strong enemies is a blessing.

RIP Nipsey. I just spent Thursday with him filming a video for a beautiful new song we created with Khaled. We filmed in Inglewood, close to where he grew up. He was so gifted, so proud of his home, so invested in his community. Utterly stunned that he's gone so soon.
