Nipsey Hussle has reportedly died following a shooting that occurred outside his Los Angeles clothing store on Sunday afternoon (March 31). According to NBC News, he was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
“BREAKING: Rapper Nipsey Hussle has been pronounced dead at the hospital after being shot outside his clothing company in south Los Angeles, multiple law enforcement sources familiar with the incident tell @NBCNews,” the tweet read.
Nipsey was shot at least six times outside the Marathon Clothing on Slauson Avenue in South Los Angeles, the apparel store he founded in 2017.
In video footage of the incident, he appeared to have a gunshot wound to his head. The story is still developing.
The Grammy-nominated rapper was 33.
Rest easy king Nip! So sad
Damn….when will this end?
When these dumb asses see that theres no real value in banging, being involved in the streets. Folks have been fooled for far too long, into thinking the streets and jail can provide them with the respect they think they desperately need.
Shit crazy!!! A real one gone too soon!!! Rest Easy NIP!!!!
Wow…RIP smh, shit crazy
Damn. Rolling sixties are going to ride on fools!!
Thats why when you get money you leave your city. You can’t help these baboons. They turn around and kill you. The first dude that says “He don’t help the hood”, thats who you need to watch out for. Nipsey died out of the jealousy.
Somebody made him good!
I’m now hearing his condition is misreported. He’s critical but not dead and improving.
He did a lot for the community he was doing that Dr. Semi documentary watch them blame this shit on crips and bloods nah he had to have security up the ass they took out a legend and to think he just had a child and was releasing another album prayers to hussle THE GREAT a true inspiration fuck I hate this world
This fucken sucks.. Rest in Peace young one
Bruh!!! One of the only muhfuckas I listen to every fucking day!!! FUCK!!!
He did a lot for the community he was doing that Dr. Semi documentary watch them blame this shit on crips and bloods nah he had to have security up the ass they took out a legend and to think he just had a child and was releasing another album prayers to hussle THE GREAT a true inspiration fuck I hate this world
This is fucked up, The government came for his ass after his DOC was scheduled to be released
RIP to a real one…. when are ppl gonna stop giving their lives to the game when the game never gives back smh
RIP.
Just goes to show that when people go on and on about this real this and real that, that shit doesn’t mean anything when people want to get at you. Nipsey was one of the realest dudes in the industry. Everybody called him for a pass when they went to LA. But if these goons want to get at you, they will. He was too successful to end up like he did, and now his daughter won’t get to know him as she grows up. Not really a fan of his music, but rest easy to the dude.
It’s not worth it…it’s not worth it…i was looking forward to his next album…but also seeing him celebrate it. Very fucked up situation, but I’ve said this time and time again, the lifestyle isn’t worth this.
Not the lifestyle, but people have to be smarter about their surroundings. You can’t come up and stay where you’re from in poverty. It just is never going to work out. Ironically, I was having a convo with one of my cousins about a little homie we know in this same situation, and he has nowhere near the means that Nipsey had, and I said the same about him. Got to get from around that environment, especially when you know people are gunning for you. Let them call you a sellout, not real, etc. You know what though? You’ll still be alive and raising your kids, which is most important.
I’m so fucking annoyed, why you people killing each other so fucking senseless? My favorite rapper is gone for no fucking reason
There’s so much hatred in this word today. As a father trying raise three kids I’m legit scarred.
We got to bring God back into the mainstream. We need to stop preaching and teaching hatred and find some common grounds somewhere even if we disagree.
This man was more than a rapper or gangbanger. He was a living soul and a provider for many.
Take your children and hold them close. Stop being Baby Daddies and Baby Mommas and start being parents. For the sake of your children’s futures, put the bitterness aside and work together no matter what. It starts in the home and in the heart. We live in a time where people’s home is the block and their heart belongs to the street.
Rest Easy Young King……..
Word up
Holy shit… RIP.
Let me find out gov’t still scared of DR.SEBI even though he been dead. Y’all didn’t have to kill NIP in front his daughter like that. I pray NIP repented and accepted Jesus as his savior cause if he did the rewards in heaven GOD will give him will be 100x more than what NIP had on earth. I’d NIP didn’t repent well……Still pray for you anyway
did it worth it? the gang banging bullshit? he had money, he could get out of this
Anytime you watch somebody come up to finally get the success and recognition, to see it end like this is just sad bro.
There must be one hell of a mixtape being made in heaven. RIP to all artist who lost their lives here on earth too soon. From the 80s to those today. Sadly more will come. Stay safe everyone.
Blue Laces 2 on repeat!!!!
Cia
I swear this is a sad day for hiphop. I’ve been having a feeling someone is going to die even before xxtentacion and I could swear in my mama but this shit is very surprising. I feel it like I knew him personally aside from all that trump shit. RIP Nip
Hip hop culture has a problem. Even a positive influence like Nipsey can get murdered. Maybe it’s time to stop glorifying violence in 80% of songs. Life imitates art, even if you don’t want to admit it.
That doesn’t have anything to do with shit. Stop mixing up what the problem is.
You’re right, it’s just black culture. Black men make up 6 percent of the population but commit 50% of the murder. I’ll bet you blame systemic racism for that- which isn’t a thing by the way. Maybe take responsibility for your community instead of making excuses and blaming others. Minorities like Koreans and Japanese were treated poorly in the US years ago, and now earn more money on average than whites, by far. What’s your excuse?
Stfu. You probably had this comment typed in your notes. There are more blacks in jail because blacks and Latinos are prosecuted for crimes that whites people are not. More than half of black men in jail are in there for non violent drug related crimes while most whites are actually in prison for violence. Do your research racist.
Yes, they just let white people walk free after they murder someone. Makes sense! Actually, it’s because black people typically can’t afford good lawyers. And don’t start with the “crime is strictly a poverty issue,” because poor White’s don’t commit crimes at the same rate as poor blacks.
When you are a star and a gang banger, you become a trophy for fools. The will kill you and do the time simple. Thats LA for you.
Bet the shooters aren’t black
You’re right. They’re the corporations and white peeps that hired brainwashed dudes to kill off a leader. Shit happens everyday in Africa B. RIP Hussle. It better not be the brainwashedEritrean govt that assisted this….
Good riddance to this known gang member.
You forgot to add the III you coward.
We are all sinners. You say good riddance but let’s see what happens when your sins catch up with you. Let’s see what happens when you dedicate your blood, sweat and tears into raising your kids the right way and they rebel and it cost them their life or freedom
Huge loss for the culture. He was one of the few I watched every interview and listened to for jewels game and knowledge. They keep taking the ones we need.
I can’t say I feel bad. He was a studio gangster repping hood rat culture. So what do you expect? Maybe if this happened to more studios gangsters, then they would stop talking about gangs and murder in an entertaining fashion?
He wasn’t a studio gangster. He was bout it bout it. Ask bigU.
Live by the gun, die by the gun…
You don’t live by the gun. Does it mean you are not going to die Mr D3?
Is that what I said, Mr SMH? We all die one day – it just doesn‘t have to be by the gun.
Tupac was right with his analogy of a rose out of concrete. They wont acknowledge that he was a good father, or that he opened businesses and gave jobs and opportunities for his people to make something of themselves, was a mentor for people, that he took care of his family, no matter what his past was they will only look at him for his gang ties. U make mistakes but can never fix it in this world. But who are u? Ur just someone in ur moms/grandmothers basement talking ill of the dead.
That is true. The gang culture is fucking stupid, and it continues to be glorified in rap music.
No other genres of music purposedly degrade culture, and encourage people to do terrible things. And I love gangster rap, but it’s still true.
There is another type of music that glorifies death, violence and drugs and it’s in Mexican culture too. They glorify the cartel culture and drug lords. It’s not just one race.
So people in Africa and Europe are listening to Narco Corridos? Over 50 Narco singers have been killed? You’re an idiot.
No other race has conflict/kill their own? Please lets not turn what unfortunately happened to Nip, into a topic about race.
For those with negative messages about a man u never met talking shit, do better. This is ur life? u come on hiphopdx to talk shit about the dead? U Probably have more people that u are following than actually follow u on instagram, u look for this shit for responses because this is the only way to get attention. Go play hide and seek with urself, bet when u go missing for a couple weeks, no one will care, thats ur reality.
It’s been known he’s been doing this documentary for a while now, and Nipsey’s not the only one talking about Dr. Sebi. The govt knows this death is not going stop the documentary being released. People still going to be talking about this Dr and the cure for AIDS. This conspiracy makes no sense. I really enjoyed Victory Lap, and it was clear Nipsey was a man of his own.
Dumbest post on here. Gangs are in literally every fucking race on the planet. La Cosa Nostra, Biker Gangs, Yakuza, etc. Music has jack shit to do with any of it and chances are Nip didn’t get murdered on some music shit. Violence is glorified in near every form of entertainment but only black folks do this shit? Get educated and come back later. That way you can make a well rounded argument rather than a slanted one.
We know why NIP was killed!!! Fucking bullshit!!.….So you mean to tell me an ordinary guy walked up to Hussle and gunned him down?? Tf….
Why was he killed?
Some conspiracy theory bullshit, I assume. Because the Government is way more likely to take away a life of a gang-affiliated individual than gang violance.
Damn. He was one of the greats of the modern era. RIP.
Maybe it’s not worth celebrating a guy that destroyed his own life still RIP I guess
Sooo edgy. Ignorance is definitely bliss. Phagget
Does the truth hurt snowflake?
You got your clout now chill bitchboy
Must be weird to always say negative shit online like you. Pathetic. Continue being a miserable lame. No one will remember you like they remember the people you hate on online. As much as you hate they are more successful and actually did shit with themselves other than be a salty fuhk.
did I hurt your gay ass feelings?
He rapped about success and helping your community more than violence in his music. He never advocated all that gang banging even though he always claimed it but your racist ass just see this as an opportunity to spew hate. How many Nipsey albums have you ever bought ? You ignorant changing name coward.
LOL you sensitive lil bitch, can’t handle a bit of truth huh? And as soon as someone says something you don’t like there racist? You are a weak minded individual. And I am not changing my name, only post as this one. Not scared of you limp wrists lol
Damn, another good one gone way too young. This hurts, sh!t needs to stop. RIP Nip.
Think about your loved ones and how it will affect them if you shall pass. Let that be your motivation to move a certain way. You can always choose to leave but once you leave, there’s no coming back. If you don’t have a will to live, you must always find something to live for. If you shall die, your loved ones may lose the will to live. Rest in peace to that young man. I hope his family be ok and turn this tragedy into a triumph. Don’t never let anything happen in vain. I hope this young man’s death save a life. We’ve all been in this world before life and we’ll all come back after death. Nipsey ain’t dead, he just became born again
Black people kill other black people at a rate higher than any other demographic in the US. I don’t see Laep or anyone else taking a knee for this shit. BLM doesn’t factor in the biggest murderer of blacks in the US. Other blacks. When is a REAL leader going to step up and address this. Everyone is quick to talk about cops, which ultimately divides the country along racial barriers. Latinos, Asians and whites KNOW that cops kill Blacksburg at a ratio according to crimes commited. No one hasn’t the courage to address this REAL issue. So sad. Had he been pulled over by the cops, and reached for a gun, and was shot, the whole country would be in an uproar.
Maybe spend a little time doing some research before you start talking this complete ignorant nonsense, you cornball.
I didn’t the research, idiot.there were 500+ white people killed by blacks I’m the US in 2018. 250+ blacks were killed by whites. There are 2 million people in some form pf corrections in the US. 60% of them are black. Blacks are 15% of the population. Other than Mexicans killing each other in Mexico, there are no examples anywhere on earth, other than civil wars, of more serial killers per capita than in South Side Chicago. The definition of a serial killer is someone who hasn’t murdered at least two people. Now, dead rappers (the subject at hand). Did a whiteboy kill Mac Miller? Sort of. He ODed (killed himself). How about Jam Master J? Big L? Biggie? Pac? YNB Smelly’s two friends? Scott La Rock? Charizma? Stretch? Fat Pat? Freaky Tah? Soulja Slim? Proof? Mac Dre? Chinx? XXXtentacion? Let me guess, they were all murdered by the two Maga guys who assaulted Jusse Somellet? Do you see a pattern with the race of victims and suspects? Now. Please name all of the EDM artists, rock and country artists that have killed each other. We’ll wait. MAYBE YOU SHOULD DO SOME RESEARCH. Cornball. Hard facts make cuck soy boys upset. You’re part of then problem here by not addressing the issue, and ignoring the facts. You shouldn’t Ben ashamed of your ignorance and the lies you perpetrate.
Triggered much? lol
Haha. You must be really hurt sensitive mf. You come back to read and reply comments? Poor you. You definitely have to much time. Are you unemployed? Were you abused? Are you going through personal issues? Coz that’s the only reasons you would seek love online. Here’s a hug buddy.
Looks like you said someone needs to study etc, then got shut down, and switched up to personal attacks. Nothing about those stats though, right? Insert a mom joke somewhere. That’ll make you less of a loser. LOL. Maybe dude is answering these comments because he actually is informed and gives a shit? I’m actually going to look up these stats.
This dude about to go look up the stats he just invented. Go ahead man, you’re about to blow this whole case wide open lmao
You an idiot. Posting this 100 times won’t convince anybody. Blacks kill each other true. But there’s murder in every country whether black or cream. And the statistics show there’s more than a 90% chance if a white man is murdered, it’s by another white man. You do research in black issues and forget about your own race. Are you hurt by the mans death or you here for some fires?
There hasn’t been gang wars in LA for a while. And I bet this will start it. The people behind Nipsey like BigU won’t let this go. Their money is fucked
Dude. Mac Miller was murdered by another white guy. No, wait… that isn’t right. Cops killed XXXtentacion. Wait. That’s not right. YNB smelly didn’t kill his own boys, it was white folk… no. Wait. Biggie and pac were killed by. Big L was killed by… just like all of those rock stars and EDM DJ’s (none of them are ever murdered). When will black Americans finally say enough and face these problems head on? The cops aren’t your enemy, YOU are your enemy. SMH. This cat was shot by some youngsters from a rival set. A war will ensue. Bodies will stack, all young black males. Meanwhile his kid and wife are left broken forever. He should have left his crab in a barrel ass hood and moved to Brentwood Like DR. Dre. Snoop doesn’t live in Long Beach. This is shameful.
Is this an April Fools Joke?
Gangbanging is so played out. Bloods and Crips need to be outlawed in America. Being shot doesn’t make u real,just makes you a foolish victim of senseless violence.
But the KKK is still legal as well as the hell angels. Cut the crap
I also blame Black American women, they are attracted to the thugs and gangbangers so young men think that’s the thing to br
This is the stupidest shit I have ever read on the internet. Congrats
Yeah. I guess your dumb ass finds reality stupid. You probably think this isn’t a black America issue that needs to be addressed by by black America, being that if anyone else says anything, it’s racist…
“You probably think this thing I’ve decided you think therefore your [sic] dumb.” Captain of the debate team over here.
Yeah. Nice grammar. Your response was supposed to em English? Anyone who has a college education and points out a simple fact is captain of the debate team? LOL. How many baby daddies are you at now? LOL.
shit another black life lost. looks like fuckn amerikkka is learnin nothing. Rip Nipsey.
Learning pleanty buddy. The lesson repeats itself. Blacks are the greatest demographics in our prisons, and statistically murder each other, and other races, at a rate of 4X the runner up. I gues Blakkk America is outdoing Amerikkka?
Bit of a sick April Fools joke… Nips eye done got us all tho!!
This is tragic. Blacks hate each other more than they hate the cops who come into their communities harassing and killing them. Gang affiliations, fighting over turf, and all that other buffoonery leads to nothing but incarceration and death. His two children are fatherless because some idiot decided that he did not deserve to live.
Murder is a human condition. Try not marginalizing us. Look around the world.
Yes he. Look to AFRICA for example. LOL. Maybe try using grammar correctly when asking not to be marginalized?
I have one thing to say. I see a lot of trolls on this site. A lot of folks giving their opinion about the black community. It would be most highly respectful if you guys stayed out. Even if you’re saying you’re not racist. Because you’re still speaking on an epidemic that you’re not a part of. Now I don’t expect you to stop doing what you’re doing, but YOUR opinions DON’T matter. At all. You’re saying you’re not racist, but trying to criticize something a lot of blacks are already aware of. Go and be critical of some of your own issues in the white neighborhoods and environments. And even your own psyche. Because you guys have a LOT of issues. You guys are very toxic to the earth as a whole. Now I don’t claim to be a racist either. But doesn’t it seem kind of intrusive for a black to call you out on your bullshit?
THANK YOU. A lot of the usual suspects too. That’s what can be expected when the internet is the only place they can hide.
Yeah. Only doctors with HIV can treat HIV. If you’re not a part of the epidemic, you shouldn’t speak on it. That makes TOTAL sense. Idiot. Blacks act like this isn’t an issue. I talk to black people about this all the time. Do you think people are somehow scared of you? LOL. Numbers don’t lie, buddy. Come into my neighborhood looking for trouble, trying to beat someone up who excersized their first amendment rights. Watch what happens. We don’t want anyone calling us on our bullshit. Dude, please speak on any problems with the white community, Latino community etc.
You’re right, this is solely a black issue. So fix your communities polluting the country, you loser! Committing disproportionate amounts of crime, 70% of kids born out of wedlock (just ask your boy Don Lemon), 40% of families on welfare. Pretty soon it’s gonna be hard to blame others for your shortcomings. You get another…. five years. Then the excuses are over.
Dude we’re all part of the global community, shit like this affects the global community so shut the fuck up with your idiotic segregation dumb as fuck mindset because truth is kennyken dick heads like you are who are really holding our species back with your stupid fucking segregational nonsense, FOH!!!
Yeah. Your retórica is stupid as fuck. If you’re not from Thailand, the Tsunami isn’t part of your problem. Please stay out of it. Problem is, the Tsunami doesn’t fire off stray shots, young Dindu. You want to drag everyone into you’re BLM bullshit that doesn’t make sense. Isn’t Kaep taking a knee for this shit? Idiot.
A sad day for music…
Rest up nipsey hussle
This morning, I awoke to read this news about Nipsy. I was sad, but then I found out that my teenie white penis had grown into a massive Negro schlonger donger hanging between my pasty white legs!!! I had been praying to Allah for months day and night that my teeny white pee pee would grow to the length and girth of that of the typical American Negro. Today, at long last, my prayers were answered! Where once there was a tiny pink wee wee, now there is a giant black mamba, a 10 inch boa constrictor hanging out of my boxers, splayed across the floor! I thought my prayers had indeed been answered, my life was finally worth living, all the bitches would want me, and I praised and thanked the Profit Muhammed until tears streamed from my eyes and snot dripped from my nose, but I am now suddenly shocked to find that, although my penis is now Sambo-Sized, all the money that was in my bank account has suddenly vanished, my fridge is full of nothing but two week old fried chicken and malt liquor, I have dozens of illegitimate kids with names like Leroi and Shaquanna, I have four fat, lazy, angry baby mamas on food stamps, I have nothing in my wallet but a maxed out EBT card, I have three outstanding warrants for vagrancy, robbery, and public chicken consumption, I’m unemployed and I live in a filthy trap house! HELP! HEEEELLLLPPPP!!! PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP MEEEEE!!!
You spelt Prophet wrong you dumb fuck and you are definitely a problem
Dear Killer,
The word “profit” was intentionally misspelled in t e above tale to emphasize that religions are all bullshit and are in it for the cash, you dumb fuck. Now kindly live up to your name and murder yourself.
Very truly yours,
Tim “tinywhitepeepee” Clark
Rip nip! Wouldnt be suprized if this has something to do with the slap at the bet awards
I was surprised to hear about this tragedy this morning. I wasn’t a fan of his music (only b/c I never made time to listen to it) but I did respect him for the work he was doing in his community. My condolences to his family.
Jam Master J? Big L? Biggie? Pac? YNB Smelly’s two friends? Scott La Rock? Charizma? Stretch? Fat Pat? Freaky Tah? Soulja Slim? Proof? Mac Dre? Chinx? XXXtentacion? Did the COPS kill all of these people? Where are those BLM hypocrites at? Please. I’d like to see a list of rock, country, pop and EDM artists that were killed, and who killed them according to race. SMH
Yeah. Don’t have a valid opinion on the genocide that is occurring in our country, and the idiots who are detracting from it with made up bullshit. Your opinion here is helping forward that agenda. Idiot. Your tranny mom was an FBomb, BTW.
Your child is ugly
Rich, successful & gang affiliated.. Surely Nip knew the chances of the jealousy hate and envy catching up were pretty high?? Still chose to stay rooted there cause he felt what? untouchable, respected enough by all? Its very sad that he has passed, he did great community work, i liked his music and respect that he was principled.. but in the end i feel he chose to put his life at risk by staying there.. The price of being “a real one”..
R.I.P Nip
