News of Nipsey Hussle’s unexpected shooting death is rippling across the Hip Hop community. The Victory Lap architect was gunned down in front of his Los Angeles clothing store on Sunday afternoon (March 31).
He was reportedly hit at least six times. In a disturbing video captured of the aftermath, Nipsey appears to have a bullet wound in his head while emergency responders are delivering CPR. Although his condition was unknown shortly after the incident, he was ultimately pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Hip Hop, of course, is shattered by the turn of events and many of his fellow artists have taken to social media to express their shock, anger and sorrow.
Drake, Diddy, Rihanna, J. Cole, Killer Mike, Wu-Tang Clan, Chuck D, Pharrell Williams, Ice Cube, Atmosphere, Meek Mill, Gucci Mane, Offset are just a sliver of those mourning the loss.
“Fuck. My whole energy is just at a low right now hearing this,” Drake wrote in an Instagram post. “We just linked for the first time in years and said we were gonna do a new song this summer cause it had been too long.
“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. I’m only doing this here cause I want the world to know I saw you as a man of respect and a don. Rest easy my g.”
Nipsey was just 33 at the time of his death.

Yeah I we taking ourselves out…..People hollering white man this and white man that but I know I dont worry aobut no white man in a pick up truck with a confederate flag killing me. I worry about my own kind. Shit is senseless.
That shit isn’t anything you need to worry about either. The bottom line is that you can’t be out talking crazy at folks these days, white, black, brown, or purple. If you get murked, it’s most likely going to be by the people you know or who are in close proximity too, so it’ll probably be your own race. However, you have to watch how you interact with people. He obviously was beefing with somebody from his last tweet he sent out, so this didn’t come out of nowhere. That’s all I have to say is everybody needs to stop acting like they’re Superman and can beat anybody because you can’t, and in the hood, this is the results, you end up taking more than just an L. As men, I know the machismo gets the best of us at times ( been there and done that), but it ain’t worth it. Then, you’ll look back at that shit and say why was I so heated that I was ready to kill or be killed in a situation when it wasn’t worth all of that?
Then if its just the effect of people just kill people and it will be multi racial and equaly so then explain how 13%-15% of a population accounts for up to 48% of the homocide ratio? I think we got to admit some shits disproportionate there and needs looking into like in the hoods children being used to commit murders slang drugs being look outs being mules maybe the slanging drugs and muling is multi racial but i dont ever see caucasians in the u.s trying to coach their children or youths or allow other youths to coach their caucasian youths to kill over gang shit thats primarily hispanic african and african american behavior just like i think we need to look into why the fuck more caucasian kids are shooting up schools than any other race which is weird but when we can admitt their is a disproportinate problem we can come up with a solution but if we always refuse to admitt shit out of the thought of dear god being offensive then we will never evolve as a culture just be a buncha blind children like we are now
Ain’t shit disproportionate. Every race kills people of their own race in the same percentages, over the 90 percentile. Those statistics are readily available. Stop being ignorant. That’s because people get killed by people they know most of the time, and most of the time, people only interact with people of their own race. Even when random shit happens, people don’t go let’s go to Beverly Hills. They go to the people around them who have something or who are perceived to have something.
But your missing my point do your research based on how many black men there are how many white men there are black men are more likely to kill eachother 5-1 easy the inly ignorance i see is the refusal to embrace facts if you research gun related homicides african american men are responsible for almost 1/2 of the homicide rate yet they only represent 6%-7% of the countrys population your telling me you dont see anything wrong with the fact that out of caucasians 60% of this country hispanics being about 24% of this country and african americans being around 13% yet african american men account for 1/2 murders in this country and are only 6%-7% of the population so by your logic that everyone kills everyone there around shouldnt hispanics and caucasians be killing more of there people than african americans are killing eachother? Then explain to me why thats not the case explain to me see in a inner chicago city hood they can lose 10+ people in a weekend all african or african american yet you go to a inner city caucasian suburb its like 10 people for the entire year and why is that?
Dummy, are you talking about the white men that have started most of the wars in the world? If you want to take it to that level, we can take it to that level, and white people are doing a whole lot more killing than anybody black. Like I said, stop making shit about race when this is about people who had an issue that they didn’t sit down and hash out before it got out of hand.
Am i talking about the rest of the world?no i am talking about the u.s And no man i think your thinking about muslims and their holy wars that have gone on for centuries so sorry not that white people are totaly innocent we have done horrible things ill agree but how about in africa today where they have huge factions of rebel groups going to war with one another slaughtering men in villages and taking women and children as slaves? Or how about back in ancient egypt like all the africans who think their royalty like to brag about where they came from when they enslaved killed and starved people to build their monuments basicaly what im saying is not one person on this fucking planets innocent every single one of our races have owned slaves treated people horribly and essentialy commited genocide and i will make it about race in america because see when your typical white man has an issue with someone we take them to court and handle it civily like you do in a civilized society 9/10 but when your hispanic or african american and associate yourself with gangs and hoods and where this color and where that color and put this tattoo and that tattoo on your body and walk a certain type of way and put targets on your back and constantly brag about how if anyone messes with you you your gonna murk em well then 9/10 times your lifes either gonna end violently or in prison and the shit needs to stop because i constantly hear how african americans and hispanics are victemized well then quit danglin yourself to sharks its that simple see i live in calm midwestern united states dont even have 5 homicides in my state per year and why is that? Because we dont glorify seperation and violence instead we glorify being a community we see things wrong we handle them we dont “refuse to snitch” and instead of preying on one another we give one another a hand and he got killed cause something didnt get hashed out? Ive had plenty of people ive had disagreements with here gotten violent even but we have enough respect for one another to not take one anothers life over some petty shit life goes on and thats the shit they need to learn in the hood and dont try changing the subject oh whites kill the most no actualy that distinctions between the muslim hispanic and african populations combined who all have rampant murder problems in their realms of the world but you know blame the white man gor everything instead of looking for the real problem its worked this far
And as far as suburbs vs. the inner city, are you actually comparing the two. Are you that stupid? People living in poverty vs. suburban people who aren’t literally starving and have no jobs, no economic development, etc.? Like I said, stop conflating the two things. If you want to show your concern for black on black violence, which is concentrated in these low poverty places that stem back to yes, your government dropping crack rock in them after white owned businesses took them from union states full of inner city blacks to non-union states to save a few dollars (btw, what’s going on with white people the last few years as those same companies take those jobs over to China and other places), show it by demanding your government actually give a damn about these places and invest in them and not require someone like Nipsey to have felt like if he didn’t do it, then no one would. Because that’s literally what happens and has happened forever. A black person like me who doesn’t live in the hood doesn’t feel any more threatened than a white person living in the suburbs. Yet you want to conflate the two to look past the real problem that is systemic from over 40 years of neglect, turning the inner city full of poor blacks and Hispanics into a war zone from economic neglect.
And they say it’s the white man I should fear, but it’s my own kind killing here. -2Pac
Man post this 100 more times. Smfh
I’m very much against these comments and racism but I support this 1000%. He opened up businesses and advocated for black owned businesses. He employed people like us. Guess you become a trophy when you are a gangSTAR.
Condolences to the family! We lost a real one! So senseless! SMDH!????????
Who shot Biggie Smalls? if we don’t get them, they gon get us all!
Another black man did. They got jimmy already buddy. Everyday biz.
He’s from Rolling 60s they the biggest Crip set in LA. He has a lot of enemies. He shouldn’t have been hanging out in his hood. Damn RIP Naybahood Nip
lol at the white dudes in the comments using this to deflect from white racism/violence.
Seriously who cares about black or white. A young brother just got shot to death and you’re talking about alleged white peoples comments. No one is deflecting nothing. Another senseless killing and for what?
Which white racism violence are you referring to? The black president that was elected into office? The fact that countless artists (like Nipsey), came from nothing and became millionaires? I’m guessing systematic racism isn’t a thing, and if it is, it doesn’t work. LOL. A BLACK man killed dude.
catch the bastard who did this and show everyone his face. or will this remain unsolved too. I am so pissed.
From that last tweet he had, people in his circle no who it was. Dude did a walkup and didn’t cover his face, so I doubt anyone has to wonder who it was. Nipsey saw him coming. I don’t know what the beef is, but that’s why you have to diffuse these situations before they get out of hand. Don’t know if it was about money or what, but he had problems with somebody.
hah and don’t leave eh.
He has a song. Status Symbol. So surreal now.
And for people talking about this happening because of black-on-black crime, didn’t I just read about some mob dude getting shot in a restaurant or some shit just like two weeks ago? Shit is what it is. Don’t make it some race shit when this has to do with aggression and violence.
Yeah. Nice one example compared to thousands. I’m guessing math isn’t your strong point.
He really does trust me
Damn r.i.p man these rapping g types need to take the money they get and get the fuck outa there hood they started in as soon as they make it always a pattern somebodies plottin on them envious of the shit they got cause they seen this guy with nothin next to them 10-15 years ago now they see him owning shit and that mans name on other peoples tongues not theirs and somethin just snaps lets rob him and lets rob him turns to lets kill him… hear way too many stories like this shit how much you wanna bet it was someone he knew for 10+ years shits fucked up
RIP Nip.
Some of these celebrity comments are are disgusting “my energy is low” “my Spirit is off” A man lost his life, yet some of these fools rather than sending on their condolences make it about them self’s. RIP Nipsey. You never turned your back on your community. Very sad.
These famous idiots are talking out their asses. “You stood for something positive..”, “the morals you stood on”, “we lost you to gun violence…” Are these people for real? He had no morals if he was out for gangbanging. He stood for nothing positive and might have just got what he was asking for? Last but not least we didn’t lose him to gun violence, but GANG VIOLENCE. Get it right. When will the good learn to get their heads on straight? You can still be hip hop and live a clean life. Stop the gangs.
soooooo. Basically you saying since he was apart of a gang he deserved it? People in gangs have no morals? Am I reading your comment right?
Yes. Rolling 60’s have easily be killed thousands with violence and drugs. Idiot. They fave federal gang injunctions now on them. If some dudes from 60’s rolled up next to you at a light, and you looked Arby’s them wrong, you’d Ben lucky to only get an ass whooping. They are murderous drug dealing fucks. This is how it ends. Like this, or in prison with us flipping the bill. Sad.
You’re dumb as fuck. Gang culture is part of the hood in LA. It’s like if you’re from a certain part of the country, you eat certain kinds of food. He just told his story and didn’t glorify shit. Too bad if that bothers you. It’s not the reason he’s dead. He crossed the wrong mofo and let the shit get out of hand where whoever it was took it to that level. That could happen if you’re in some small town in Wyoming or some shit or in the hood in LA, or maybe you don’t see the news.
Trump curse! This idiot really bought the lie that Obama sold hope. FDT was a whack ass diss track.
And your whole life is pathetic you fuck face lame. Take your irrelevant dumb ass to sleep.
We protest cops and we protest injustice. It’s time we protest the biggest threat to black men across the entire world, black on black violence and black on black hatred. If you’re gangbanger you might as well apply to joint the KKK because your affect on the black community is a klansmans wetdream.
Black on black crime is no different then white on white or brown on brown crime. This narrative that the biggest threat to a black man is another black man is propaganda created by the media to target young black males as a threat, when in actuality your environment is the threat. In affluent black neighborhoods, black on black crime rarely exist but in an affluent white community, the amount drug use, sexual assault, battery, suicide, and several other crimes that happen mostly in impoverished communities are at the same rate. Miss me with that black on black crime statistic created find other ways to destroy the black community.
Nail on the head. Dumb mofos deflecting from the fact that your government dropped crack in these imprversihed places after taking away all of their jobs by saying it’s all their fault and continuing to ignore the problem. Freeway Ricky Ross got decades in prison as the middle man but the mofo from Columbia and the government who supplied him with the cocaine got no time. Hey, but it’s the black people’s fault. Let’s go with that one and repeat it over and over again.
You’re really delusional. Blacks are 15% of the population in the US. They commit 800% more murders per capita than any other demographic according to the FBI database. 95% of the people killed by blacks, are blacks. Last year blacks killed 500 white People in America. White People killed 200 blacks. One is only 15% of the populous. Do the very simple math. If you are black and are worried that the cops are out to get you, and not some other ignorant ass black fool, unfortunately you’ll end up like old Nipsy here. SMH
Maybe he should’ve made better choices RIP or whatever but what a dumb idiot to still be about that street life, take responsibility for your life before someone takes it lmao
That man was far from the streets. He was doing everything in his power to make sure the youth didn’t go down the same path as him. He bought property and rented to low income families, created businesses and hired the people in his community, created a work space for people to explore STEM fields, revitilized his neighborhood playground, and used his platform to teach others that gang life isn’t the way
Hey buddy he ran around claiming gang membership and glorifying violence. Its sad he got killed but that doesn’t absolve him of responsibility
I dont punctuate you fuckin phony
Your both gaaay problem solved
Yeah. The positives you listed that he didn’t for the community are now an example of what’s happens if you stay in the hood and give back. LOL. He was shot by a black man, in front of his black owned business. Now there will be a gang war over this. You’re point is hypocritical and almost comical.
LA don’t play !!!
It’s sad, but quote “live by the sword die by the sword” is always actuall.
Is it always actuall? Is that what it is?
First off officially noone has confirmed it was gang violence or even a black man. What is confirmed is that a gun was used.
West coasters dont let this kings name die in vain. Regardless of affiliation you must unite under one flag .
If ain’t the first and he won’t be the last rapper to get gunned down. The suspect is black which didn’t shock me. The black community is very good at destroying its own. But very slow to change and very good at blaming others for the problems. Hip hop is the only form of music and culture where people get gunned down. Its embarrassing to see this happen time and time again. The KKK must be laughing their heads off because they don’t need to do a thing now .
Dude. You’re 100% spot on. I love all people. It’s sad that black America doesn’t face these issues and take a stance. It even sadder that anyone who speaks up about the obvious problems in the black community is considered a racist. SMH. These youngsters are filling our prisons and semataries. The prison shit is REALLY sad. 60% of prisoners are black. Blacks are 15% of the populous. 85% of people in prison doing real time are there for drug charges. It’s volontary modern slavery. You don’t have to pick cotton or work labor. Every cot, meal, toilet flushing, every time the lights go on or off, MASTER is getting paid. SMH
Damn you stupid as hell lmao
Great argument…
BLK PPL keep ya head up. Disregard paid trolls / gov ops from other countries on here stirring thangs up.
I hope u next succa
Being a thug, gang member, hood ni&&a is not cool kids. Black people need to stop the animal behaviour, dying like rats
Where are the Black Lives Matter hypocrites to hold a protest over this killing. Oh, I see it’s only an issue when white cops do it?? Black people are killing way more of their own!!
They’re at your mom’s house: in her blouse and in her mouth, my dude.
Way to answer a honest question that’s Ian totally relevant to the topic at hand. Dumbass.
Lick my butthole. Your question is not honest. Lick it.
He was black and murdered. He wasn’t giving back to the community. Husband life mattered. It is a very relevant question. Your butthole hasn’t nothing to do with it.
RIP
YG is another clown promoting this stupid gang sh&t
Other clowns promoting gangs are YG, Cardi B, Tekashi, Game, Young MA, Blueface..
This is what listening to your boys saying you’re a sellout and aren’t doing shit for the community will get you. Dr. Dre lives in Brentwood. Snoop hasn’t lived in Long Beach for years. If you live in the Hood and can move out, do it. Bring your loved ones with you. Donate. These cats with their crab in a barrel mentality will surely fuck you over. This never happens to Rock, Pop, country or EDM artists.
Dr Dre and Snoop took this”gangsta” culture and when shit got heavy they bitched up…
joh lennon, women tennis chik forget her name stabbed bu fan…
Literally some teenage chick from The Voice or something got murked right in front of everybody in Orlando like two or three years ago.
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 has 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 Jay? 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 Been murdered. This is ridiculous. No BLM in site…
Bravo, well done sir. I’m white, grew up in bRokklyn 35 years old, liberal on most issues, but in 2019 I’m told that I’m racist because I believe we need secure borders, and apparently I’m responsible for all this death? Im a consumer and people like me are the ones who come to shows, buy merch and actually support. We don’t go out and hunt you, your own brothers and sisters do that.
aint nbody need your fake ass support, pigs dd nip in he even called it ahead of time.. malcolm x type shit
You’re a moron. Nothing you said is accurate. If your response it conspiracy theory then it confirms how dumb you are. Look how you type out words. You are of lower ilk than I, that’s why I’ll continue to financially dominate you, not because of the color of my skin but because of my education and hard work and unwillingness to blame you and your people for any of my problems.
malcolm x , killed by pigs, pac killed by pigs, now nipsy killed by pigs. evil white pigs u white devil, nobody neesa ur suppprt. go support a country show u fucking bitch
@Dr. Cox Stop lying with the fake outrage. Nobody is blaming the white man for everything.
That’s because you are shithead. Just mad you didn’t put in the obligatory, I have lots of black friends comment, lol. Go get your Trump hat ignorant fuck.
He was probably looking up and down the block for the racist ass cops, and the Trump supporters when a black man from his same neighborhood that came up in similar circumstances ran up and dumped on him. Sad.
Killer Mike even making this about race. smfh. RIP
Someone mad him good!
Rest In Peace to Nipsey Hussle and all the Black men that got laid down (throughout the years) because they stood up for us. The “enemies” he spoke on were not from another set or hood; he got love from everyone based off his character and morals. This was a professional hit stemming from the “Fuck Donald Trump” song (YG stay on point), his influential/innovative business acumen and strategy, his relationship with his fiancé/girlfriend and the message that has on Black love, and lastly his support of the late great herbalist and holistic teacher Dr. Sebi. I’ll bet everything that there isn’t a black man breathing that would’ve done that man any harm so for it to be done in front of his own establishment which is in his neighborhood (where he is most protected) you do the math??? Whether it’s propaganda or not this white rage shit is getting out of hand and now it’s time to risk it all for your survival and self respect. I’m not about to incriminate myself on here (even though I already have) but don’t let no oppressor thug you out and have the luxury of walking away from it. Rest In Peace and Paradise and shine in glory Nip!!! I never met you but I want to thank you because you stood up for me and mines!!! All his homies need to do their research and handle their business!!!
Stop it bro you’re delusional. Hes on video fighting/beating on his fellow black men multiple times in the last couple years… to say NO black man breathing would ever do him harm is absolutely ridiculous.
Was gonna say, didn’t we all see him humiliate a grown man on video at an award show by bitch slapping him? Dude was a security guard working a nine to five, but we don’t know what kind of connections that man had. Dude might’ve been plottin this whole time on some get back shit.In the words of the late great Charlie Murphy, dudes used to duel over shit like that. RIP Nipsey, but he should’ve rolled heavy.
Nah Nipsey didn’t roll with Security, even if he did it’s hard to see them preventing someone running up on you in broad daylight and blasting 6 shots, 3 other people were shot too apparently we haven’t heard what there deal was,couldve been with Nip.
The fuck? He glorified crippin you live by the sword you die by the sword your talkin like he got jussie smolleted or some shit seriously do the world a favor get castrated and or your tubes tied
Damn you are one salty, stupid, hateful little creep, huh?
That’s some far fetched conspiracy bullshit man, he was a Rolling 20 Crip his whole life, don’t get it twisted it’s still Fuck Donald Trump, but he ain’t put a hit out on Nipsey Hussle.
This is a russian bot trying to sow division. LMAO. Move along folks
sorry to burst your bubble but his own people are saying it has nothing to do with any of that. no government conspiracy shit. he was killed by some degenerate scumbag rat they all knew for years. they asked the shootert (a black man) to leave and he came back mad with a gun. open and shut. he will be killed by the end of the week if he doesn’t turn himself in and seek protection.
Yeah. There isn’t a black man wanting to do Nipsy harm? LOL. Ever heard of the Bloods? How about 83 Ceip gang? 18th street? MS 13? Rolling sixties have murdered THOUSANDS of people over the years. They do home invasions, sell every kind of drug in existance. You’re a complete moron. TONS of cats would love to own this dude away. One did. BTW, it WAS a black man.
This is just a publicity stunt, must have an album coming out,
Rules of the game kid…R.I.P
I’m tired of people saying “he was one of the good ones trying to make positive change”. If that were true, than he was like a hamster running in a wheel, because at the end of he day he was still an Obama Democrat. Look what that did for his community?! Nothing! He’s out here working to change his life around, and for what if you still vote in corrupt idiots like Maxine Waters? What’s the point? One man can’t change it all, but if he votes out all the trash keeping his city down, he could have made a difference. By him staying loyal to those same clowns, like Waters, just proves he wasn’t doing much to make positive change. He was just helping some other crooks from a different food chain get theirs.
Shut the fuck up clown
We know this is a white dude in disguise trying to turn this into politics.
Bitch, shut the fuck up. You gave yourself away with that Obama Democrat bullshit comment.
You die by the life and when you join that life. That’s just G code!!
I bet no witnesses come forward. I bet they scared to snitch. If they do they aren’t respecting the G code. Let the streets work this case.
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
Just stop being sack of shit. No one is impressed.
Just stop being sack of shit? LOL. Again with the grammar. Is English your 3rd language? LOL. Facts and numbers make people “sacks of shit.” That’s the reason you work at an Arby’s, dumbass. When confronted with hard facts, all of these delusional idiots have nothing intelligent to contribute, or a sound argument refuting saída facts. The sack of shit is the guy who murdered this dude, and EVERYONE acting like this is not a problem. Yourself included. Congratulations on helping black genocide continue.
You’re a fuckin tool how are you gonna laugh and correct someone’s grammar (by the way that was a typo) when your’s is complete shit then say you gave “hard facts” like you know what that means? You literally didn’t give one fact. And maybe English isnt there first language who gives a fuck, racist white boy hiding behind a computer. By the way “saida” is not a word, you obviously work at Harveys.
Imagine mocking someone for speaking three languages. It’s four, in my case, by the way.
Someone explain to airhead Rihanna that this guy was a gangbaner. She tweets “This doesn’t make any sense..” What so confusing about this guy’s death? If you mess with gang life, you have a 90% chance at being target practice for a rival.
*gangbanger
its not about race, its not about police. its a man getting killed in the street. Nipsey was a father. yall are super disrespectful
Yeah. You’re acting like Nipsey had never killed anyone, beaten people, commited home invasions. He was a member of Rolling 60’s buddy. He was a real hardcore criminal/gang banger. If he was an Hells Angel, the conversation would be the same. Dude wasn’t a kindergarten teacher. He constantly spoke on murders, beef, selling drugs etc. being a dad doesn’t erase that. This totally IS a race thing. I have my football game fucked yo by millionaires who were never black shot or beaten by cops, disrespecting our flag, yet no knee for this bullshit?
White boys troll this site like crazy
I swear man…I just come here for my music and I keep my focus…I still love my culture…fuck the vultures.
