Drake, Rihanna, J. Cole and other musicians paid their respects to Hussle on social media.
Celebrities and fans alike mourned the death of Nipsey Hussle. The West Coast rapper and philanthropist, whose birth name was Ermias Ashgedom, was shot multiple times outside of his Los Angeles retail store, Marathon Clothing, on Sunday. He was pronounced dead upon arrival to a local hospital.
A veteran of the Los Angeles hip-hop scene, Hussle was a signed artist and representative of Jay-Z’s entertainment agency, Roc Nation. His most recent album, Victory Lap, dominated the charts following its February 2018 release and landed him his first Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album, only falling behind Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy.
“My whole energy is just at a low right now hearing this,” Drake wrote in an Instagram post late Sunday night. “You were having the best run and I was so happy watching from distance fam nobody ever talks down on your name you were a real one to your people and to the rest of us.” In addition to being one of Los Angeles' musical gems, Hussle was a prominent and active figure in his Crenshaw community. The 33-year-old was praised for developing a number of philanthropic projects for underserved inner-city youth, including his latest effort, Too Big to Fail, which provides a STEM and co-working space for young aspiring black entrepreneurs.
