In the wake of Nipsey Hussle’s March 31 murder, orders at his Marathon Clothing store have skyrocketed. According to a tweet from Karen Civil, the store’s employees have been working overtime to accommodate over 2 million orders.
After a customer tweeted they were waiting on a package, Civil replied, “It’s coming! Please be patient literally over 2 million orders yours will come shortly they’ve been working 12 hours straight.”
Civil made sure to emphasize to support only “authorized” items from the Marathon Clothing.
“If you want to support @NipseyHussle and everything that he stood for please make sure to buy AUTHORIZED items from HIS BUSINESS,” she tweeted along with the website.
Nipsey founded Marathon Clothing with his brother Blacc Sam in 2017. It’s located at the intersection of Crenshaw and Slauson in South Los Angeles, where the Grammy Award-nominated rapper was gunned down last month.
The store was apparently one of many business endeavors Nip had his hand in before his untimely death. As a result, his two children are reportedly set for life.
I placed an order not to long ago. I cant wait to rock this summer.
Did you really pay 70 for a plain tshirt that says Crenshaw? Or 150 for a hoodie?
I got the sweatshirt and tee. I had to support the homie! Black owned cuz.
The price you paid is the very definition of Black on Black crime, lol!!!
Might have to check his gear out as well. Stay real.
Well I don’t mind what you think whether it supports black crime or whatever that’s your opinion not facts. The facts are corporate America support a lot more crime that benefits the west. The CIA too. And all the different European gangs in America. But the bloods and crips are the only problems. I’ll make two more orders now. Bye
Triple, yeah Black owned, but Nip got those shirts down at the Korean 5for $10 AAA shirts! Lol half this will go to the Crips so they can “protect” the store. That’s nice of u to support organizanozed crime by buying overpriced made in China t-shirts.
Yeah.i did too. All my t shirts don’t cost 70 dollars. And I have some from brands that don’t respect black folks so what’s wrong with 1 T-shirt for 70?
$70 for a shirt? Wow lol. I gotta stop commenting here with y’all… You really bought that shirt for that price, instead of starting a stock portfolio, a website, or some other form of future economic prosperity? Y’all talk about helping black business… They are already rich and milking his death for money, hence why they raised prices on the website. If you want to actually help black business, help the little guys who struggle to have their business survive, not the millionaire And Jay-Zs lol. Hell, black people don’t even own the Corner stores in their own hoods, the immigrants who have been here for 2 years do. Start there, take your hoods, and make them prosper! I’m counting on YOU! Make black hoods great, one step at a time. It would be niCe to be able to walk into a corner store without be heckled to buy drugs or give a crack head a dollar.
Not hating but sorry but I dont believe it. The guy sold less than 100k albums when he was alive. Now we’re supposed to believe 2 million people ordered his overpriced clothes in 2 weeks? Karen Civil is a known liar and scammer. If they really are getting tens of millions off some cheap threads in such a short time from the new bandwagon fans all the power to them.
Rappers albums skyrocket in death. Country music. All other genres. Check Prince. Michael Jackson. Nipsey never had a top 10. Now he does. A millionaire can just buy thousands of shirts even for charity. It’s very possible.
these are not album sales! she is claiming 2 million individuals purchased merchandise in the last 2 weeks. that seems very far fetched. his PR girl is lying to get some PR so they (herself included) can cash in on the product in which they doubled the prices on!
Just wait and see
Seems Phishy 2 Me…the same could probably said about ya girl’s stank juice box! Ha!
world wide news coverage literally tens of millions if not hundreds in marketing his brand has been occuring all month doesn’t seem far fetched not to mention hoods uniting wanting to support or ride the wave or even new fans if they weren’t hip before they are now nothing wrong with discovering an artist late, i dont pay more than 20 for t shirts though plus i have my own brand to grow but to each they own rather keep the money in the community
I’m waiting patiently for my tees and I received 30% off too. I really didn’t know his music cause it didn’t get much radio play here in ATL but I don’t mind supporting a great “Hussle”.
i dont get it they said nipsey was for the hood but his clothing mad expensive how are people from the hood supposed to afford it
Go take an economics class and stop embarrassing your Confederate ancestors!
They literally doubled the prices after he passed away! $100 for a damn beanie is crazy!
Just like Jordan’s. Quit hatin.
It’s just funny how none of you cared enough to support him before he died. His album sold like 50k with streams.
I’ve been fucking with Nip since ihussle. He had a song with Kurupt and Snoop that’s when I started paying attention. Not everyone is in the bandwagon
Man, you go from MLK Jr. To Nippsey being praised lol. America is doomed…
MLK preached about helping the community, Nipsey did. I know rebuttals are going to be about his past, and where will we all be if we are to be judged by our past?
That’s true, but they had the kids wearing fucking crip clothing at the damn funeral. MLK wouldn’t be cool with it, and I’m not either. You beleive that I’m called a square for being black and not being cool with gang culture? Because I am. And it’s retarded.
When will the Nipriding end?
Gladly supported the Marathon and will continue..,.BDM yep black dollars matters????????shop on NYC??
Awesome
That’s what’s up. I wish black people would support black businesses more like this. Build wealth
You again. How about supporting stuff you like regardless of what color skin the owner of the business has.
I do. I like black people’s products! Their really great!!!
I do. I like black people’s products! Their really really great!!!
Where do you think the black owned products come from lol? Asia. And guess what? They are made by what Americans consider to be slaves. Children and women working 70 hours a week in shit conditions, for shit wages. It’s ironic how Americans dwell on our own terrible pasta, yet supoort those same slavery practices with our wallets.
It’s actually from a shirt factory near the store lmao how do you think they’re making shirts so fast.

Y’all will believe anything huh? KC is a known liar and a scammer. Remember when she made up the story about Cam and Jay Zs beef starting over a parking spot??? Cmon shes a pr girl creating some hype for the brand.
I ordered items the day that Nipsey passed. It was the only way I could immediately show love from afar. It’s now been over 2 mo. I’ve contacted Marathon several times, to no avail. At this point, it seems like I just threw hundreds of dollars away! SMH
RIP Nipsey but, it seems like the people running your store is going to make sure the Marathon stops… What a shame!
I bought 2 jerseys back in May 2019 and it’s almost September and I haven’t received my Jerseys yet which is really frustrating because I spent over 200$ and I’ve been trying my best to wait patiently but that is really beginning to run short. I want what I bought. Or I want my damn money back period.
I ORDERED IN AUGUST AND I AM STILL WAITING ON MY ORDER. I CAN’T EVEN LOOK MY ORDER UP ON MY ACCOUNT. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING. THERE IS NO WAY TO CONTACT THE STORE AND THE EMAIL PROVIDED IS NOT FOUND. IT IS KIND OF DEPRESSING. I JUST ORDERED A SHIRT AND A CD.I WANT TO ORDER MORE AND SHOW SUPPORT BUT THIS MAKES ME SO UNEASY AND READING THE COMMENTS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. I HOPE SOMEONE FROM NIP’S TEAM IS READING THIS AND UNDERSTANDS THAT EVEN THOUGH HIS DEATH WAS AND STILL IS A SHOCK AND UNFORTUNATE THE MARATHON CONTINUES. YOU HAVE PEOPLE REACHING OUT WORLDWIDE AND SHOWING SUPPORT. IF IT IS TOO MUCH TO HANDLE (WHICH I HOPE IS NOT THE CASE) THEY SHOULD NOT BE IN OPERATION OR STOP ACCEPTING THE ONLINE ORDERS UNTIL THE CAN FULFILL THE OTHER ORDERS. ITS SAD AND I HOPE THAT THINGS CAN GET HANDLED BETTER ON NIP’S BEHALF. ALL I CAN DO NOW IS WAIT. I HAVE A EMAIL CONFIRMATION BUT NO WAY TO CHECK OR TRACK MY ORDER. ITS STILL #TMC AND LONG LIVE NIP BUT WHOEVER IS HANDLING HIS BUSINESS NEEDS TO GET IT TOGETHER. I WOULD LIKE TO ORDER MORE BUT AM LEERY CAUSE I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY FIRST ORDER
