Dave East spoke about his relationship with Nipsey Hussle during a candlelight vigil he organized in New York on Monday (April 1).
Aside from revealing that Nipsey was set to appear on his upcoming album, East expressed frustration and imparted the importance of keeping the late rapper’s memory alive.
“To come to find out it was a fucking rat, it wasn’t none of that Dr. Sebi shit that everybody thinking it is,” East told the lively crowd. “It was none of that conspiracy shit. It was a nigga from 60, from his set that probably been hating him forever.”
He added, “A sucker took out a fucking king, my nigga, a real king to this era. I was a kid when Big and Pac died, so I couldn’t feel that. I feel this shit … Don’t let this nigga name die. I watched niggas mourn Chinx for like two weeks and nobody spoke on Chinx no more.”
East said he’s not a revolutionary figure in any way, but he felt compelled to organize an event to show his respect for Nipsey.
“That’s my brother, man,” he stated. “If nobody else in New York City was gonna do this, I was going to do this shit.”

Guys like this going around calling other dudes ‘king’ Is beta Male As F!
Actually nip was a king. And alot of crips do more for the community than the elected reps. How about you do some research before you type. Dumbass!
Yea well they also are just like our politicians and take more than they give too but hey way to brag up the shit that killed this young man way to go shit shouldnt be glorified it should be shamed
Sure they do. They murder and beat people. Have shootouts in broad daylight. They make poor kids in the neighborhood want to get courted in because they have cool cars, rims and clothing etc. they create jobs thru crack, pill, lean and weed sales. They do TONS. Fucking idiot. I lived in a neighborhood in LA run by Bloods. It was a depressing, violent shit hole.
Beta Male as F…Does anybody actually talk like this? If you do, you’ve probably got a stfu sucka punch coming to your glass jawline sometime in the near future…
