Nipsey Hussle had an obvious profound influence on his community, fans, and close friends so his family is in search of a venue that can seat anyone whose life he’s positively impacted to allow for them an opportunity to attend his funeral procession.
According to TMZ, venues that barely hold 2,000 aren’t cutting it. They’re looking to accommodate more than 15,000 people for Nip Hussle The Great’s memorial service.
Possible ideal locations include The Forum in Inglewood, California, the Hollywood Bowl or the Staples Center where Michael Jackson’s memorial took place.
The Grammy Award-nominated recording artist, born Ermias Asghedom, lost his life on Sunday (March 31) at age 33 in front of his Slauson Avenue Marathon Clothing store, located near Los Angeles’ Crenshaw district.
The thousands of mourners who showed up to the candlelight vigil held in front of his store on Monday (April 1) demonstrate a clear need for a large space. The vigil was suddenly disrupted however and caused the Los Angeles Police Department to step in and “restore order.”
Nip’s family is looking to secure a venue big enough within the next two weeks.
He is survived by his daughter Emani and son Kross, whom he shares with his longtime girlfriend Lauren London.
Nip’s alleged killer, Eric Holder, pled not guilty on Thursday (April 4) and is being held on a $7 million dollar bond. Holder is due back in court on May 10.

You will be remembered for your great works as a Westcoast artist that didn’t leave your community and let your people suffer. #LongLiveNip
When i heard about the shooting and death of nipsey hussle at first i didnt believe and honestly it was a major serious april fools prank especially the way i first found out about it which was through ESPN. There was a caption saying many players including lebron james pay there respects to nipsey hussle. So immediately i googled up his name and thats when i learned the shooting and his death and honestly just being a huge fan of him it hurt bad and i was very upset and hurt by the news. It definitely was mind bithering because of one being a huge fan of his music but also following him and seeing all the progress he was doing for his own hood where he grew up. Then also listening to him on the breakfast club just the way he spoke you can tell he was more special then just a popular rapper. Clearly this dude was very jealous of nip and definitely wanted to be just like him but had frustration and hatred towards nip and for him to make the move that he did and the way he did it he deserves to suffer big time for the decision he made its not cool at all and my thoughts and prayers goes out to his entire family daughter and wife lauren london. I truely feel for them and hope that everyone around the world can come together to represent positive movement his legacy he left behind. RIP NIPSEY HUSSLE I know i dont know you like that but i know you will be looking down and you will be pleased knowing that your family friends and even fans and communities will continue where you left off at with the positive opportunities you already built and the future plans you had on they way.
Amen??
I put praying hands not question marks smh
do you think the fact it was april fools had any bearing?
Nipsey is always going to leave in our hearts.
He not only do donation to the African American community, he donated for the funeral of a little boy with cancer that passes away 4 years ago, also for the 15 year ceremony of a low income and deported father, 2015, and three years ago he send one of his gays with a serious donation for Carlos Martines who died in a car crash. my respect to Nipsey family
the 3 donations were to Mexican Families
Nipsey we will keep your memory alive never forgotten my heart and prayer goes out to your beautiful family amen rest in heaven love
Even though I rarely knew about him, I learned a lot in these past days & His death has really bothered me. He was doing good for people & his loved ones so why take that away. Rest in Sweet Peace ?
Very beautiful comment ??????
Damn girl you fine. I can’t even disagree. Mind chatting backstage?
What you said is exactly how i feel. i didn’t listen to his music but this murder just sad. Im sick of these senseless killings. Rip youngman
“I rarely knew about him” you beautiful sweet moron, we feel your pain?
Nipsey REST IN PEACE…my condolences to his precious children & wife may God be with the whole family during this time of grief & healing…????????????
I haven’t felt this way since my big brother 2Pac died, Now my lil brother Nipsey Hussle
This a big loss, I feel for the hip hop community all my brothas and sistas because I lived through the feeling of when Scot La Rock, Jammaster Jay then Biggy & 2Pac were assasinated! I wish it would stop! Nip was really coming into his own and he was taken from us too early, damn I wish I could see this coward Eric Holder on cuz! Nips music was so motivational and inspirational rip Young King Victory Lap and his whole catalog stay on rotation 4 a good minute now 1 #RipNipseyHussle
can they sell obituaries to the world it’s very much needed to keep him alive
Great idea
Wicked Times , More like a Gift and Curse !!!
This tragedy is felt around the world. Maybe after all is said and done, a few good men and women, can franchise with the Marathon Brand and open them up for the same purpose. Healing communities, and teaching our children. Devastated but extremely proud of what Nipsey accomplished and the standards he set for caring about others. That one bad apple should not stop his show.Even in Death he is ALIVE….., it’s almost like King Jesus he left this planet at 33 and the spirit lives on……..blessings to all the mourners….. the example had been set .
Rest In Peace and Love ❤️ young brother..,,Thank you for your incredible examples.
I never knew Nipsey Hussle until he died.
Congratulations. Although those of us who did listen to his music for years and watched the moves he made, did. RIP to a man who was figuring it all out after struggling like all of us. Go fuck yourself.
R.I.P Nip The realest!
can anybody from L.A. tell us what happened with those two retards who made that video where one of them was on the freeway pretending to be the killer who shot Nip because he (the killer) was a blood, and confessing to that other random guy that he did it and describing how it happened?
i’m from LA but I have not seen this video or even heard of it my dude… I’ll look into it. Interesting.
it was on TMZ when they first reported on the shooting last sunday.
From what I heard dude is dead, some1 shot him in a car wash.
