T.I. is one of the many mourning Nipsey Hussle’s passing. But he’s also not one to stay silent on the matter. In the wake of Nip’s tragic shooting death over the weekend, Tip took out his frustrations on both social media and during an interview with TMZ Live.
In a clip, he insists Nipsey was only killed because people were jealous of his mounting success. He explains the feelings of despair and hopelessness in the video.
“I’m disheartened, disappointed and disgusted that the very people we try to so hard to liberate and uplift are the ones that ultimately, in the end, hope to see our demise,” he says. “But that’s neither here nor there. I think that right now I’m just focusing on some kind of clarity and understanding, and eventually I know as the days continue to progress I’ll find it.”
As he continues, the Hustle Gang boss elaborates on an Instagram post he shared following the shooting.
“Because of the lack of education, the lack of opportunity and the lack of experience in our communities, most of us who are subjected to the confinement of those communities, we operate and exist on such a low vibration and we’re very remedial in our thinking. So when we see people who operate on a high vibration and who have much more fleshed out, detailed thoughts for whatever reason — because they’re well read or because they travel more or because they’ve experienced more — there’s one of two things that’s gonna happen.
“Some people are gonna learn from that person and follow them into whatever greatness comes … and the other half is going to detest the very existence of that person because their greatness upsets all the things that you’re not doing in your life. So every time, internally, the things they aren’t doing for themselves causes them to be unsettled and that usually ends up in senseless violence because of jealousy.
He concludes with, “I think people just hate not that you’re doing something but the fact that they’re doing nothing and you doing something reminds them too much that they’re doing nothing.”
The Instagram post in question was shared on Monday (April 1), one day after Nipsey’s March 31 murder.
It read, “Sometimes people try to destroy you, precisely because they recognize your power – not because they don’t see it, but because they see it and they don’t want it to exist.”
He added in the caption, “Sad part is… muuufuckaz so far gone in they own misery that they can’t even see wtf they doing to US as a whole!!!
“Easiest way to create a monster… make him Hate the sight of himself,He’ll then be incapable of loving anyone else. #RestEasyLilBro @nipseyhussle.”
LAPD identified suspect Eric Holder as the alleged shooter on Monday night. He’s currently wanted for homicide.
Nipsey was killed outside of his Marathon Clothing store after being shot at least six times. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he later died. He was 33.
He got killed by his homie from 60s. His homie was alledgly a snitch and got kicked out of 60s. He was still trying to post up in the hood and rep 60s. He pulled up to Nipseys store trying to kick it. Nipsey and his homies told him he can’t be in the hood no more. He left and grabbed a gun and shot them up. He was mad he got disowned by his gang. That’s the story.
I heard the same. Sounds more likely than a shadow government assasination. Dude got his card pulled by the homies and was told he was no good. Pride took over and led him to make a point. Pure sucka shit.
That’s how it goes in gang culture. If you snitch on another homie you are then no good and are ostracized from the hood and gang. He still wanted to be from the hood and got mad he wasn’t wanted. Bitch ass fool.
I wonder how long it’ll be before he ends up dead!
Preach brother preach! Straight facts! Blacks seem to hate each other more than any other race ever could. Enough of the violence in our communities and in rap music!
Of course it was jealousy. Not no illuminati government tinfoil hat bullshit. Pride, ego and jealousy have killed more people than any conspiracy. It’s sad all the way around.
Some people also tried to take down Steve Harvey because he was saying things they didn’t like and they almost succeeded. Right now he has his Harvey Foundation that helps young men become successful adults. The black community should rally around him and stop holding his words against him. Steve came out and criticized Hillary for running a shitty campaign and said she can only blame herself for losing. Well, that didn’t sit well with folks that can’t handle someone with a different opinion, and someone that spits the truth! Regardless of all that Steve Harvey is also trying to help out, so check him out.
Surprised TI didn’t blame the white man… snitch
He will. Wait for it.
First time for everything lol although he did state that having a shitty life, which we all know is white peoples fault (lmfao) … is the reason for “his people” (lmfao) acting the way they do …. because no other race … especially white people … ever grew up poor and had a shitty life …. maybe “his people” should take responsibility for their own actions …. mind you Tip complains about “his” communities but then bashes attempts to inject money into poor black neighborhoods because it comes from white people …. keep glorifying that gangsta life Tip … I’m sure it plays no part in impressionable young kids thinking being a G is cool … Tip is a hypocrite … he and all the other G’s may as well have pulled the trigger themselves
Shouldn’t you guys be looking at Fox News enjoying the stupid assed President’s stupid assed reasoning for wanting to close the Mexican border? I guess you’re celebrating that in secret? Go rout for your smart white folks who are doing everything so damn great for the country!!!
T.I.s hypocrite ass is a huge reason black people keep playing the victim/Dindu card. He talks about lack of opportunities, education and struggle, then jumps into his chauferred Rolls Royce and rides to his Mansion where his personal chef has a meal waiting for him. Ass clown. Dude did less than three years as a convicted felon with fully automatic weapons and silencers, and systematic racism exists? LOL. What an idiot. Him and Killer Mike’s dumb ass.
How about rappers start rapping about unity and progress instead of lean, strippers, drugs, violence. #StoptheIgnorance
This guy… The modern day version of that Dave Chappelle Ja Rule skit (“Somebody call Ja Rule!”). Who gives a fuck what T.I. thinks?
ahhh this fake woke activist, whose miss piggy wife gave money may the deepest throat job ever and he took her back plus snitched to get off federal gun charges better take several seats.. Boycott gucci for 3months headass
Anyone listens to T. I and his rambled ass words are simply remedial just like him. How can you blatantly describe some of our weakest people and act like you are the giant for our people to discuss such matter? Dude you are a criminal! A felon! An hypocrite that discuss topics that you contribute to and that is violence. Shit the F up! Okay… please!
Nobody cares what T.I. believes.
He was killed cause he dissed ol boy and got caught slipping
So we should just all ride around and shoot people if not watch others do it and expect no one to day a word or never say a word? No wonder african american communitues are as fucked as they are nowhere else in the u.s will you watch someone kill your own mother and not go tell fuckin twisted
Boy didn’t you mother teach you not to tattle? I wouldn’t call the cops if my house was getting broken into. In the famous words of Ice Cube “Fvck the police”. I got big guns like I’m hunting game in my house I’m catching a body or I’ll due trying before I call the damn police.

STFU… There’s nothing wrong with what T.I said. I love how all losers sit here and act tough behind a keyboard. You talkin’ all that trash and you’d be the first Motherfucker asking him for a pic or an autograph if you ran into him. All shit you’re spewing out of your mouth you never say to his face. And who said its alright for Black people to Black people? But its not o.k for the Cops. Well its not o.k when they kill people for no reason and if you uneducated ass watched the news you’d actually know this stuff. Its not o.k for anybody to shot anybody which is what most people are fighting for. Idiot!
