The celebration of the life and legacy of Nipsey Hussle, christened Ermias Asghedom, is set to take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Thursday (April 11) and is slated to livestream on TIDAL.
A TIDAL subscription is not required to watch the livestream, giving the many fans who were unable to acquire tickets on Tuesday (April 9) a chance to still be apart of his memorial service, which is expected to begin at 10 a.m. PST.
Nipsey’s official Twitter account announced the news Wednesday evening (April 10).
“We are honored to bring the Celebration of the Life & Legacy of Nipsey Hussle to fans across the globe via livestream,” the tweet reads. “Members and non-members alike can tune in on 4/11 at 10am PT.”
Following Nip’s funeral procession, there will be a 25-mile “victory lap” throughout the city of Los Angeles that will bring him back to his old stomping grounds in South Central, where he will be laid to rest at a Crenshaw funeral home.
Tickets for his memorial were strictly made available to California residents for free but sold out in minutes. Some of those who were able to obtain tickets attempted to make a profit by selling the free tickets on Craigslist and eBay for upwards to $500. Unfortunately for the scalpers, all tickets are non-transferable.
The Grammy Award-nominated rap star was pronounced dead on March 31 after being shot up to six times outside of his Marathon clothing store. He was 33.
Watch Nipsey Hussle’s memorial via TIDAL tomorrow at 10 a.m. here.

Anything to make a buck
What are you talking about? They are streaming it for free to non-subscribers as well……
This guy wasn’t that famous or celebrated when he was alive. Now they’re trying to pretend he’s on Tupac level! Lol sure, ok. Those of us that heard of him when he was still breathing, know he wasn’t much of a big deal.
I agree. Folks are just bang wagon fans. Anything to be trendy and feel important just for likes. Its the world we live in. Social Media.
Are you serious? Nipsey Hussle was loved and respected across the entire fucking country. “Wasn’t famous” ??? Because you didn’t know him you think he wasn’t known by others? You mf are so fucking lame. Y’all just can’t wait to get online and make unfounded comments like it’s law. The man was just Grammy nominated, over 100 million views on YouTube, Roc Nation deal, partnership with Atlantic….etc etc etc the list goes on but most importantly, his mind was respected. He was even respected by sworn enemies. Why people choose to speak on things they know not about I will never understand.
