Ice Cube was recently stopped at the Los Angeles International Airport where he was asked about the naming the intersection of Slauson Ave. and Crenshaw Ave. — where Nipsey Hussle was murdered — Nipsey Hussle Blvd.
“Yep, why not?” he told TMZ. “Yeah, man anything to honor him.” He also agreed the faster they get it done, the better.
As for advice to those reeling from the Grammy Award-nominated rapper’s death, Cube added, “Keep your head up. Watch your back.”

The Najee Ali Youth Foundation launched a petition earlier this week in the wake of Neighborhood Nipsey’s death, calling for the intersection to be christened with his name.
The description reads, “LA Councilman Harris-Dawson to name the intersection of Crenshaw and Slauson. Nipsey Hussle way. In honor of a community icon. Please call or email Councilman Harris-Dawson to let him know you support this effort.”
As of publication time, over 445,000 people have signed the petition.
Nipsey was gunned down on March 31 in front of his Marathon Clothing store. His alleged killer, Eric Holder, was arrested on Tuesday (April 2) and has since pleaded not guilty.
His bail has been set at $5 million. He’s expected back in court on May 10.
Nobody is renaming shit. He isn’t Cesar Chavez where he can change Brookly Ave. in his honor. They’ll put a plaque at the intersection for this gangster and be done with it. People will forget Nipsey the Crip pretty soon.
Nah man u off base
U a bitch that’s y I’m fuckin ur daughter
They should name the other street Stanley “Tookie” Williams! Why not celebrate another crip gang members death. Dumb!
It’s about the positive contributions which is multiple u dumb bitch
You sound like a silly leftist.
He was more than a gang member. And for all of you fools on here , there are no bigger gangs than the republic and democrat parties. They may not shoot in the streets, but their decisions and policies have worst long time effects. Take a minute to sit down and think before you speak rather than quickly replying to comments.
I think this is a great idea!!
It baffles me why someone; like Cube, wouldn’t take advantage of their power and get behind something like this and push for it (that’s what she said). I don’t know about a statue, but to change the name to Nipsey Hussle Way… birds shit on statues, kids graffiti them… They can get taken down… but the name will be there forever! The people at fuckin Google Earth will have to change their shit to Nipsey Hussle Way.
More celebrities need to get behind this bitch and push.
Peace, keep ure head up n watch ure back!
If anyone in Compton is going to have a street named after them it should be Eric “Eazy E” Wright! Not a D Level rapper like Nipsey Hussle. 2pac doesn’t even have a street named after him and he’s a legend who actually had hits. Unfortunately it took Nipsey losing his life for him to crack the charts. Not to mention if he was a real G his boys would’ve had the hardware to return fire instead of beating feet like a “You are the father” on Maury! This is just the facts!
Crenshaw and Slauson is at least 5 miles from Compton. Idiot.
Nipsey ain’t from Compton, and the intersection aint on Compton. 2pac was from the Bay by way of the east coast. You dont know shit.
Imagine if a street was named after a white person.. imagine the outrage in the j-w-sh media, it would be considered supremacist and an act of oppression by the white privilege bad racists. This way around, its k0sher.
The tinfoil hat Jword hater strikes again. They control the banks, media and entertainment. They are the reason you fuck your cousin. Young Mel GIbson over here can’t get over it. Jesus was one. Dummy.
They do control the banks. Lookup the history of Federal Reserve, for example. Look at the names, google them, find out all of them are small hats. They do control the media. Guess who who is Sumner Redstone, for example? Real name is Rothstein. He owns Viacom, that BET for example is part of. Yes, even your “oh so black” BET is controlled by a small hat. Do a quick search on your favorite movie directors and actors, find out they are indeeed small hats. Guess who ran the transatlanic slave trade? Small hats. Guess who is behind BLM? Small hats. The list goes on.. Guess who led the bolsheviks responsible for estimated 100 million deaths of white people? That’s right, small hats. Look how many people in the white house are i5raeli dual citizens? They do control the governments too. You can easily look this up, but no, you are too scared. Blame it all on evil white man instead, fuckin boomer.
Dude, the J’s are white men. Moron.
No they are not. They have very specific genotype.
Everything in America is named after a white man. Stop this nonsense and grow up idiot
Cube is also from 60’s. You won’t catch him slipping outside a store. Notice how he had two retired police officers rolling with him. Black police officers. Dude is no dummy. He’s making that $$$. I salute the OG. His last album was actually decent and relevant.
Cube has never been in a gang. He’s never been arrested. He’s a tough guy and no walkover but he’s never been a gang member.
You don’t know shit. Cube was courted into 60s in the late 80’s early 90’s. That’s the only reason Suge never went at him during all the Dre vs Easy shit. Dummy. I’m from LA. I grew up all around those dudes.
Mack was blood, WC was crop & Cube was just hood
fucc ice cube and fucc sissies and all they dead homies rest in piss SissyK MessicanK
I completely agree with the idea to
Honer nip
