Paramount Recording Group, the music imprint that claimed Nipsey Hussle owed them $32,000 before he was murdered, has quickly dropped their lawsuit less than a week after it was filed and the news was made public.
The Blast reports Paramount Recording Group filed the claim on May 13 and withdrew on May 16, indicative that the late rap star’s estate handled the issue in short order.
The short-lived case stemmed from a 2012 judgment the company won over Nipsey and another party.
Samiel Asghedom, Nipsey’s brother, is currently in the progress of becoming the administrator of the estate.

The estate of Nipsey Hussle is facing a lawsuit for money he allegedly owed when he died in March. According to The Blast, Paramount Recording Group claims the late rapper incurred a debt of $32,000, which the company is seeking to recoup.
Paramount claims it won a $32,000 judgment against Nipsey and another party in 2012. The company has filed a creditor’s claim in an attempt to get the money from the late rapper’s estate.
Nipsey reportedly died without a will. His brother, Samiel Asghedom, is seeking to become the administrator of the estate, which is estimated to be worth more than $2 million.
In a petition, Asghedom said the slain artist’s “passing has created significant media attention, which, in turn has presented potential time-sensitive business opportunities based on [Nipsey Hussle]’s likeness, right of publicity, and other intellectual property based on the media attention surrounding [Nipsey Hussle]’s exceptional life story and musical career.”
Nipsey was shot and killed on March 31. Eric Holder, the man accused of shooting the celebrated MC, has pleaded not guilty to murder.

You aint shyt wtf you doing for the community you parasite piece of shyt
MzBallzdeep, you know what I did for my community? I get up everyday and work my ass of night shift status. I support my kids. I pay my bills on time. I pay taxes. I’m a law abiding citizen. You know what I’m not? Some fucking dead crip known for being a gangbanger who throws money at hood rats infested hoods to appease them and have them settle for living life in a shit hole like South central or even Los Angeles. Just because one has fame and fortune doesn’t make them good people. Nipsey was not a good person lol. He sold bunk ass t-shirts are triple to price to his welfare recipient fans lol. Yeah, some hero. You know now that he’s pushin daisies, the prices will go up, and the poor will spend their last penny for a shirt that says “Crenshaw” to display their ignorance.
I agree. fuck that cat!! No rapping have skillz!! He aint did shit for my hood or music!!
BSV all day Brim tilted to the Left!! 6dueces WSB!!! You know what it is!!
All wealthy people have sent. That’s normal.
He did alot for the community & I feel ppl like that don’t get the credit they deserve they always look for the negative and I think alot you ppl on these comments are rude and not well educated you guys sound like haters & should get a life he accomplished more than most of u
Nipsey was controlled by the Nation of Islam. He died because of it. Believe that they had a hand in this. Nip was a gangbanger who was being paid to further degrade the black community and pose as some type of hero when he was the opposite. How many drugs did Nipsey sell to his fellow black brothers and sisters when he was on the hustle? How many kids did he lie to when he got rich off promoting gang life? Yeah, not all that glitters is gold.
All of wack as lol
All of yall wack as hell lol
Kaap@gmail if i could kill you i wold on live tv in front of your kids and mama and daddy and turn around a kill them to you a bitch drop your location
Hes a piece of shyt coming at Nipsey with that bs hes prob a trump supporting racist troll. Hes to scared to face anybody and say it to their face
Jugman, bitch shut up. You fake ass pussy ain’t killing nothing. You sucked off Nipsey or what? You sound like a ride or die psycho fan. Get off his dick already he’s long gone from this earth.

If you were in Los Angeles talking crazy, them wolves would scratch you up big time. You’re talking tough behind a keyboard but would be french toast on the streets!!! You wouldn’t be able to be talking crazy out here in Los Angeles. Talking tough will only get you so far until you meet a street dude who would keep you quiet on the set. Be easy keyboard warrior!!!!
Thanks for the warning Keyboard warrior. I can’t be faded Blood!!
I think there is more to this than meets the eye – the shooting that is.
